</div></div>There are lots of Jamaicans who don't like Curry but not many I know who don't like Pepper. As for jerk it was not very common to all of Jamaica until say about the late 80s...my guess.

I love curry and pepper, I even put both in rice!

But the problem I jave is that Americans have not been able to recognize my accent. some refuse to believe that I am jamaican. that some tomes unclude Jamaicans though.
until I prove that I know more wbout jamaica than them. </div></div>
I'm with you guys on this one (we were 'forbidden' from speaking it at home, though my siblings are fully &quot;bilingual&quot; now).

All Parishes have their own versions, but Kingston and Montego Bay for obvious reason must be the places with the most varied.

Cow foot, cow skin, and any parts of the cow that isn't steak-looking makes me cringe and I can't swallow boiled dumpling.
