kapkomet Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Go get some jerk seasoning. Good stuff. We bought some in St Maartan last summer (hmm, it was THIS WEEK last year, come to think of it.) I need another vacation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Jamaican food? What the deuce? Perhaps you can watch "cool runnings" and look for food/culture in there, lol. That's weird though. Of course, you could just drink away regardless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapkomet Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Naah, I've used it in a lot of different things. What can you eat anyway, ms. allergic? it's great on steak, chicken. I know you can't have shell fish right? It's good on that too but since you can't eat it, you better not cause you'd go from a size two to a size 5 real quick.

I told them if there was shrimp involved I was out of the cooking/serving detail. I guess I'm in on decorations. I'd prefer to be on bartender duty... that's still in deliberation.

zach61 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Gotta love this Steff: The only unique function of the Jamaican food culture is the drinking that occurs during the reggae concerts. The concerts occur almost everywhere in smaller, more rural areas, and the Jamaicans drink a great deal of rum. Rum is an alternative income for the estates when the sugar production is not good. No religious feasting seems to occur in Jamaica, oddly enough, since a great deal of feasting tends to occur on holidays. Rum consumption is the Jamaican's main way to celebrate a festive occasion.

FlaSoxxJim Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Caribbean food rocks. Jerk-seasoned meat is the tip of the iceberg, but good for BBQ. Cracked conch caviche with lime juice and Jamaican bird peppers and conch chowder are yummy, but not really BBQ food. You could do some nice curried goat on the grill (or plain old beef if you want to be boring). How about roast pork with a good caribbean spice rub? Serve that with a garlic mojo sauce and some Kalik beer and you'll be set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steff Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 Give me a week and a Charlies Angels marathon on TV Land! LOL... Thanks for the help guys. I got several ideas from the links and I think myself and a co-worker are going to dress up as onw of those people with the fruit on their heads (do they have an official name..?). At first I thought this was going to suck.. but it looks like it's going to turn out OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
