Re: POLL OF THE WEEK - Which food should I try...

this poll took a little thinking....

the tripe, goat and oxtail might be a little too adventurous for first timers, so I eliminated them from consideration....

so I was left to decide between ackee and jerk

and then I realized that even though ackee & saltfish could be on Jamaica's coat of arms, there's really not a great variation in the recipe...if a chef/cook wanted to get creative with it, it would take away from the essence of the dish.....

so I'm going with jerk chicken...making a jerk sauce allows you to use flavors that are typically Jamaican (e.g: pimiento, thyme, scotch bonnet), but with greater flexibility that inspires much more creativity ....

and with that said, I'm moving this whole poll to the food forum!
