There is a local food, quite common and popular, and, accordingly, selling literally at every corner. Called "Jerk Chicken", and looks like the process of cooking this exotic dishes as follows. It is standing in the middle of the street - no, not the streets, but on the side of the road, for example, or simply in the grass - not a very well-keeled uncle in not very clean clothes with a very small number of teeth in the mouth and with a self-mounted mangal, where he roars on the grille of Shmatok Chicken, designed by a certain set of spices. That's the whole short. This is the famous Gerk in these places. Somehow it became stiffino. That's how sharply with my head plunge into the local flavor and buy food on the Jamayan street, so we decided to progress and went to the official elf. Hmm, stupid steps do not come up with when you are on Jamaica, and that is why. A real jerk should eat where the aborigines eat it, and attend such institutions to white tourists simply is not recommended. And so we went there. How could we secure yourself in this situation? First, we wanted the ultimate recommendation not to leave the tourist area. Well, almost did not leave - we found it permissible to be on the border of white and black, just coming out from the area of hotels, but not yet entering local neighborhoods. Secondly, we went to the institution at the light of the day, and not in the evening. Even when complying with these primitive security measures, we have been simply not-without-can. People on Jamaica are specific: few people work in principle, almost all dragged from reggae, Bob Marley is guarded and smoked marijuana. At an hour of the day, when we sat in that very restaurant in anticipation of your jerka, we counted a good ten absolutely robbing (and black, and white suit), among which were Russians.
Do not try to draw in your imagination a civilized restaurant with tables, waiters, managers and security. This is not even approximately. But there are rudely chocarized tables and shops on the street and the constant Barrel-Barrel, in which this relatively delicious chicken is prepared on coals. Must admit that Jerk really has a very original and even pleasant, rich taste. As I said, the whole secret lies in a special marinade sauce, which includes about twenty components. Well, and, of course, special firewood is given a special highlight of Jerk, which are used in the barrel-mangale: you don't find such firewood for sure, because Pimeto trees are growing only on Jamaica. I have a hurry to assure you that a samonal barrel-bracl of the Black street uncle is absolutely no different from the restaurant barrel, except that only sizes, and therefore not fooling the head of the moral and aesthetic side of the question, because, most likely, your experiment with Jerk Chicken will stop at The first stage, if you try to "try", and then you will not move on the iota, because it will eat every day a banal kebab will be riding madness.
Bananas on Jamaica of two species: Large and small, which in our country come as mini. Well, the second is no different from the usual, but the first are quite strange. Long - centimeters 30, the pulp of their pink color, and the taste ... something resembling crude potatoes with a banana aroma, a little softer. Hmm, I chewed one banana in three sites, because I could not eat him right away at once.
It is quite well prepared by Yamaitsa so-called Patty / Patties, which are quite popular and sold outside, as, however, and everything else, but note that I call them acceptable. Patties, or Juicy Patties - Pupies (cakes) from a very primitive layer test, which in Negrile are preparing vegetarian, with chicken or beef. The network of cafe under the same name "Juicy Patties" - a peculiar Jamaica version of McDonald's, who failed to take care and turn around on the Black Island. Even in the yamayans, amazing taste of lettuce leaves (Local Lettuce), but show me someone who can eat for a long time, even if in the same leaves from time to time to focus the mentioned Patties. I want to note that these cakes are popular rather from local residents than tourists (and in vain).
Now I understand that in Mexico we knew if we compare with what I encountered on Jamaica. No, no, food, as such, is present, there is not a hungry edge, but personally, I categorically refuse such food, because even three times of magnificent sardines and natural chips from real potatoes for a long time you will not stretch: chips they are in Africa Chips, though natural, for our day with fire, you will not ourselves, and Sardines are canned, that is, an emergency power supply, but not everyday.
