Jamaican men and their love of cooking

[mountaingal]

Mi a read a thread wa day and saw where ((pz)) listed a love of cooking as one of the great traits of jamaican men. I couldnt agree more.

Although i have to say i came to this realization late in life, and long after being divorced (my ex tried to keep his love of cooking hidden in hopes it would remain part of my main role as wife).

but still - is there anything more wonderful than a jamaican man telling you how he cooks a particular dish? i don't think so.

so, jcans.com men, talkie truth - unu love cooking and have unu specialty dish, dont? who teach unu fi cook? unu see it as a manly art? come share....

This makes me laugh and remember my Grandfather He used to sell jerk pork in mandeville
On friday nights it would be him my uncle who is only 6 years older than me in the kitchen till all hours of the morning ..My grandfather would cut the fatty parts off the pig to throw away my uncle and me would take it and find lean meat from the fat LOL,while the old man was cooking we would be cooking too LOL
As for specialty beef soup ,curry chicken and of course jerk pork to name a few
So unnu saying there are Jamaican men who cant cook?

mg i post comments on cooking from time to time.....

when i travel i alway try and get a suite or flat with a kitchen....i never take hotel rooms if i can help it...Even in KL i was in a 5 star yet i prefered to cook...


I dont think the love of cooking is confined to Jamaicans men....ever hang out with Italian men__???? if a group of guys hang out they cook.....at least the guys i know.....Mostly because this comes from nessity....a week ago a colleague invited us over to his place and cooked Chilli....


I travel to Norway regularly recently the other week a couple of us was invited to a Norwegian guy flat for dinner... He had shot a raindeer... made a meal with sushi starter, and a raindeer for mains..... last year at another time in Norway a english guy from Croydon in London cooked us a curry goat meal... wasnt bad....Speaking of goat... We found an indian resturant in Norway that we regularly go to...we told him we wanted a curry goat for our christmas meal... he sourced the meat... the thing is curry goat is an amazing dish...a number of guys were skeptical but they


A group of us lived in Faroes for 5 months.... we had a guy who loved fishing... we all ended up with frezzer full of frozen cod,slaith, mackrels//// we spent more time discussing cooking that the job....We even had the danish special forces over....

when i lived in Libya, tripoli.. it has some of the best fish in the world look at the map and u will see y... ...every friday a multinational group of us guys, itlainan, me, egyptian, croatian, tunisian would hang out at my flat, watch the film Heat...We would go to the fish market near the former Whelus US base after the morning meeting , buy a bunc of fish. cook friday night dinner together. simple meals, baked potatoes, fresh fish and a salad..We had a Egyptian muslim IT guy who never cooked....his mother and sister looked out for him..When we invited him over, we told him we would be cooking to say he was skeptical is mild..... . We taught him how to make that simple meal... he went home and cooked a meal for his mother and sister ....note Friday is the muslim sunday....

not really a BBQ the past few years. but i do do pretty well all the day to day cooking in the house. Wife really only cook for special occasions(christmas and dem tings) Growing up i never saw my father in the kitchen and used to say yes when i grow up when i come home my food muss put in front of me.
when i lived on my own i learned to cook a few things i like and gradually expanded. I like my own cooking so i am happy

I cant remember when i never helped my mother cook.. from planting the food, cutting the wood, picking the veg, shelling the peas....helping her with her baking....my fahter cooked made his breakfast every sunday fried johnnycakes...


And on occasion we would go down to Malvern Well to eat cow cod soup in an all male environment....

Something that surprises me... my children all love shallowed fried potatoes... not chips... just irish potatoes peeled and thin sliced and shallow fried in olive oil sprinke of salt and some dried rosemary....it sounds simple but to get it evenly fried and not burnt takes alot of attention...

Now my 11 year old son scrambles eggs and my 13 year old daughter bakes every weekend... she makes amazing short bread... she made a Zebra cake the other day.... over christmas she and i were fighting over the main oven.... she wanted to make cakes i wanted to make savory pies....(one of her favourite things i bought her is a pink electric whisk)

I discovered a recipe for Tortuga Rum Cake and i will get round to making one in the near future...

When it is almost done add some red onion and bell peppers thinly sliced and invite me over ... Have you tried sticking them in the oven or that take too long?
