      Hey Jilly and Stephen .Thanks for taking me to a place that I only dream of. Now I see where some of our dishes orginated. I can say that most of our dishes are similar through out the West Indies. They are called by different names in every Island. The fish is done in a similar way that we in Trinidad do our fry dry 🐟.

      Fyi most Jamaicans ancestors are Ashanti Slaves from Ghana. 6 or 7 generations ago hence the similarities in culture. Kwame, Tackie and Nanny falls in Jamaica are named after Ghanaian warriors sent there in the days of slavery.

    Kenkey is like a large ball of fermented maize or corn flour which is like dumplings moulded into a large ball with the corn hasks put in it and reboiled after kneaded together. Eaten with ground pepper with tomatoes and onions and salt to taste.
    This kenkey dish is available in Jamaica by the Maroons and they call it Dokono just as the Asante/Ashanti people call kenkey. Because of their asante/Ashanti background they call it same name as them and the Kromanti's also call it the Domino. In Ghana the English name is Kenkey as we call it but the Ga people of Accra say Komi/Komey, Fante people also call it Dokon. James town looks just like Jamaica. I think its the people and the blood being one makes everything look the same. Rice and peas in Jamaica Ghana has Waakye which is the same style of food.
    We have Abom with ampesi (sauce made of Tarro leaves (kontomire), spinach, callaloo in Ghana and in Jamaica you have the same sauce sometimes eaten with yam, plantain potatoes and the Ghanaian eat it the same way as well as the rest of west Africa. Another version of this is called Pallava Sauce, and sometimes modified into Agusi/Agushi sauce by adding the dried ground Mellon seeds.
