<span style="font-style: italic">You have a point H_O, I believe that Jamaican canned ackees, especially Grace are relatively safe as long as they are not old (in tin) </span>

<span style="font-style: italic">BTW, I saw those Dunns River Ackee and was tempted to buy one to try but didn't. They look so Jamaican.. If Ivory Coast is passing off the product as Jamaican, then the Jamaican Govt. has a job to do and should waste no time... </span></div></div>

Serious ting.

I was in Jamaica last month when this story broke. I heard from a doctor in epidemiology that they are looking into this thing where people are either a) drinking ackee soup ... yes, there is such a soup ... or b) that people boil the ackee and do not pour off the water before cooking something else in that water.

Soh P, did him explain why boiling an nyaming Ackee (soup) is any different dan boiling an nyaming di ackee meat itself?
