Hello everyone 👋, I have a gist from a friend in Jamaica and i want to share with you😄.
her grandparents would occasionally prepare this when they were kids visiting them during the summer holidays but now she tells me how much she appreciate the dish she grew with and drastically reducing her consumption of animal products.
In Jamaica, it's called pumkin takari,its often prepared at different occasion and with an individual choice of seasoning.The ingredients you are seeing here slong with oil and salt are what are used and yes,she loves eating the dish with everything type of seasoning 😋.
The preferred drink to go with it is sorrel , when she visited Nigeria she learnt that the drink is called zobo,in Jamaica it's called sorrel. She always anticipates each years watermelon season, she eagerly look forward to the end of the year when the sorrel hits the local market in abundance.in Jamaica, they often make this drink with sorrel flower and ginger but at times they take it up a norch and had some Jamaican rum in it.loaded with antioxidants, this drink is an healthy alternative to sodas and she takes hers without sugar as she is constructing and maintaining manly figure 😊❤️😄.
What are healthy breakfast looks like in Jamaica ( just going to recall it the eay she told me)
11am in the morning and this is what breakfast looks like.rice and peas,jerk chicken,candy yam, macaroni salad and its all smothered with curry goat gravy.oxtail gravy would have been my preference but it wasn't ready.surprisingly,i actually like the curry goat gravity,its so flavorful.i don't care for jerk chicken either,but this one is really good too😋. Which other culture/country eats like this in the morning? Im sure its not just the jamaicans😋❤️.so my friends there are healthy foods in Jamaica right?😄👏.( So she said.)
With her experience, i think my view of Jamaica has really changed and i hope one day if i make it to Jamaica, i will love to have a taste of this healthy meals from Jamaica. Just for the info I'm a foody and hope to learn more recipe from everyone here. I will like to know if you guys have any meal that can make we travel the world to come and taste, cause after her update on this meal, I'm sure going to try it out and i hope i can get to learn more from my fellow food lovers in the house. Thanks for your time and i wish you all a nice day and a happy meal time.
