Jamaican Food at Home

As you may have read, we spent Christmas in Jamaica and had the opportunity to try some authentic Jamaican dishes.
The jerk pork/chicken is quite good and not too spicy – just full of flavor.
The best ‘fast food’ item is the Jamaican Patty. It’s basically a corn pastry with meat filling – kind of like a Pizza Pop but less gloppy.
In Jamaica, you can buy these at Mother’s or Juicy’s and they’re about $1USD each or less if you use Jamaican money. They come in traditional chicken curry, beef, beef & cheese (process cheese slice), ‘The Works’ (beef with lettuce, tomato, and onion), fish, or lobster (in season).

Here in Canada, you can buy fresh patties if you go to Caribbean Days in North Vancouver (usually around the 3rd weekend in July) or at the following shops:
> The Patty Shop (4009 MacDonald St / 604.738.2144)
> Pizza Jerk (2707 Commercial Dr, Vancouver / 604.876.3343)

Other places where you can get Jamaican food but may be more restaurant style rather than take away are:
> Riddim & Spice (1945 Commercial Dr, Vancouver)
> The Reef (4172 Main St., Vancouver / 604.874.5375)
