The idea came about a long time ago, after the Indians brought curry to the island. The west African slaves took this curry, added a variety of spices to it, and out came the Jamaican curry powder. When used to season and cook chicken or goat, for that matter, the result is one of the most savory of Jamaican foods.
It is important to note that the key ingredient is the Jamaican curry powder...since not all curries are created equal Here is the recipe, if you are interested in learning how to cook it.
Ackee and Saltfish and Dumplings
Another sumptuous favorite among Jamaican foods! This one is so good that the government slapped the tag of NATIONAL DISH "pon" it.
