Love it but a few corrections: Callaloo is not collard greens but similar. The fried dough in the first dish is not dumping, it’s called “Festival” similar to dumpling but with cornmeal and sugar. The “egg” dish is not eggs but our National dish “Ackee and Saltfish” Ackee is a fruit cooked savoury and the sailfish is basically bacalao.
Because the food they were eating was not made by Jamaicans! Just look at how the food was presented on the plate, look at the so called jerk chicken…. Too many fakes out there, but I thank them for the acknowledgment that Jamaican food is tops!!
Hey actual Jamaican here it is a fruit. Ackee and Saltfish is the national dish in Jamaica. You can have ackee and saltfish with fried or boiled dumpling, yam, boiled green banana. So not an egg.
@@maeghanwint8564 Hi, thanks for your comment. I've had ackee & saltfish a lot here in London. I commented so they can add value in their videos for others who might not know!
Soooooo 👀...No one--NOT ONE SOUL on the production team took it upon themselves to tell these folks, "Hey, guys, ackee is not f~~~in' eggs!" 🤨 They're supposed to be LEARNING! 😆😆😆 Production team just were all like *shrug* "It's fine. We'll keep them ignorant." LMAO!!! TF?!
I love being Afro Latina, and being from Costa Rica. I grew up eating Costa Rican / Jamaican food at home. Every Sunday was cleaning day and my mom would cook rice and peas with oxtail, sometimes just ackee and salt fish with boiled yam, cassava and plantain. During the week we would eat food form my tribe in costa or typical Costa Rican food , which consisted of a lot of rice, beans, picadillo de papa, any protein like bistec encebollado. But im glad I can enjoy both of my cultures. Black ppl from costa rica cook with a lot of seasoning, and coconut milk, others don’t use much spices
being born in jamaica and raised in the states and being back in Jamaica and having alot of latino friends from back in the states. this puts a ridiculously big smile on my face.
I'm Jamaican🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 i love jamaican also american food but mi nah sell out fi otha food doe (if you jamaican ypu will understand this) 5:03 Love this❤shout out to them
We Southern Mexicans eat a lot of plantains. Just as much as Caribbeans do. Tired of hearing central, northern and Chicano Mexicans saying that we don’t. Learn your entire culture.
I wouldnt say just as much as them, we eat them as much as Guatemalans and Salvadorans do but def nothing like Caribbeans, I dont even think you are Southern Mexican...
@@carlitosway5748 I Don’t care about what you think. I am born and bred in Veracruz. My father is from Tabasco and my grandfather is from Campeche. How about you? Also, my mother is from Honduras and half her family is from El Salvador. Lastly, my wife is Puerto Rican. I know all these cuisines pretty well. Don’t speak on things you have no idea about. 😏
Really annoying that no one is explaining what they're eating. Bacalao is salted cod fish which is in the ackee..hence ackee and salt fish which is what Jamaicans just say - salt fish. The yellow stuff is not eggs. The sweet fried things are fried dumplings or festival as Jamaicans refer to them. Seriously if you're going to have people do taste tests have someone explain what it is after they eat each food item.
Bacalao = salted fish/codfish Ackee = fruit (not eggs) Festival ≠ Fried dumplings Callaloo(and salted fish) >≠ Collard greens Rice and peas ≠ Rice and beans Plantain is very common throughout the Caribbean but I think DR/PR like green plantain more than ripened like we do.
We have in puerto rico a similar dish to jerk chicken but it's not pinchos it's called Pollo al carbon chicken rosted above wood charcoal taste similar to jerk chicken it's sad that many puerto Ricans don't know much of its food or culture!!!!
We also eat codfish, and banana fritters just like you all as well. A lot of similarities because of African roots and also Jamaica as was a colony of Spain for 166 years.
If it's sweet, it's festival. Dumplin', boiled or fried, doesn't have sugar. Callaloo belongs to the same family as pigweed. Saltfish is just preserved (salted) codfish
If you are from the Caribbean, any part of the Caribbean, it is likely, and almost inevitable, that we all eat much of the same stuff, just with variations in how it is prepared. Plantains is a good example. They are very popular in Jamaica where they are eaten either fried, or boiled or sometimes roasted or baked. In Puerto Rico they do lots of other interesting and delicious things with them. Same thing with rice and peas (red kidney beans and rice), which is popular all over the Caribbean, with variations in its preparation. And, yes, ackee is NOT eggs even though it might look like it, and callaloo is NOT collard greens - different plant - though it might look like it. Tastes quite different, too. And saltfish IS bacalao ie. salted cod. Someone should have set these guys straight on those details.
Jamaican chiming in here! 🙋🏽♀️😂 Callaloo is different from collard greens and taste different as well. They’re not salty either. The saltiness that he’s probably tasting is from salt fish aka bacalao because we usually pair callaloo with Saltfish and eat it for breakfast. My Dominican sister is so right that we’re cousins!! Lol So many of our mannerisms match, one cousin speaks English creole and the other Spanish creole (don’t come for me)! 🤣🤣😂
Not eggs, Ackee, it's a fruit. You also should have tried several other dishes. Oxtail and butter beans, Curry Goat, Jamaican Christmas (black) fruit cake, Corned pork and whatever, Kidney and green banana and boiled dumplings etc.
A Puerto Rican never having Jamaican food is kinda wild to me. At least a beef patty?!..surprised they didnt have patties on episode either, they def need a beef patty w coco bread and cheese.
Lol this gave me the ick not gonna lie. I cringed every time I heard collard greens. Considering ackee and salt fish is the national dish I felt like it should’ve been explained what it is. Lol it may look like eggs but when you eat it it’s obvious it’s not. Also honestly never heard any Caribbean person pronounce plantain like that lol that also made me cringe 🤔 glad they enjoyed tho. Bout to go boil some banana and do some saltfish rn ✌🏽
It's only Jamaican Patties that I have tasted and those are delicious. I would love to try the Jerk chicken with plantains as it looks so delicious like Barbeque.
I'm shocked that every plate was served with Rice and Pease because we generally do not eat like that. Ackee and Saltfish is usually eaten with white rice, fry dumplings or yam, banana and boiled dumplings. Callaloo is also eaten similarly. The jerk chicken plate was spot on except we do not have festival (small dumplings) as a side on everything. It's often eaten with bread or just the festivals.
Based on the comments I’m not even going to stress myself out tryna watch this video 🥲 let’s do research on the cultures of the food we are going to try before we get on camera and make a mockery of it. Learning what Ackee is would take less than 1 minute.
I wish there was a Jamaican person explaining each dish to them. Ackee is not eggs and the fish with it is salted cod which is bacalao which is normally served with yam, green banana and boiled dumpling.
A a a weh di big komodo dragon deh. Hey sketel gyal netta or nesta come yah come look pon good clean people a eat we nice, delicious and mouthwatering food dishes.🤣🤣
First of all , black people Or not. originally from jamaicai Our people. were there indigenous Taino people Some things black people created , but some things they got from the taino people Like jerk
Either Taino or Arawak is what 15th century explorers speculated. And it's moreso the cooking technique they are speculating about (underground cooking as to not give away their location to the Brits). However, the jerk you see today/the jerk pork they ate in the 1700's is the creation of black Jamaican maroons ... the spice blend couldn't exist without their arrival to the island.
@@felixolmo8179 The Taino mixed with the Black Maroon warriors. They cooked together and learned from each other. We never denied that we learned the process of Jerk from the Taino. A lot of the spices we brought to Jamaica from the spice trade in Africa, that’s why Puerto Ricans (Taino) Pollo Asado and Lechon does not have the same taste as Jamaican Jerk.
The respectfully need to do the video again and add context they gave the tasters food with no information , history and no bev like not a sorrel, peanut punch or tings to drink in sight. Hit me up I can be the voice in the background 🇯🇲😊
She pr has a lot of Jamaican influence but no we share similarities because we all had people come from the same regions the whole Caribbean have the same or close to the same

as a dominican, jamaicans have the best oxtail hands down.
I remember when oxtails were like $5/lbs now I see it for $15/lbs, that's more than the prime cuts for what is considered the offal.
@@GrAdeAjAmAicAncrazy right

It is NOT Bacalao.
@ Bacalao/Bacalhau literally is the name for salted cod fish

I love me some Jamaican food any day any time 🙌🏼 from Brooklyn NY
I’m Dominican and I LOVE JAMAICAN FOOD!
Thank you
Thank you for loving our food I wish to visit D R one day.
I’m glad u love it ❤
Why didn't anyone explain to them that the yellow stuff is Ackee and bacalao is salt fish 🤦🏾♀️
That is what I was saying too, where is the research personnel and person who knows the Jamaican dishes.

You know about soul food 🥰👏🏾
It’s not egg it’s ACKEE people !!! Jamaican national fruit and dish with Saltfish.
Yes ackee grown in jamaica salt fish from northern europe and scandanavia... colonialism..
Where is the curry goat, the oxtail, the beef patties,
Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. They didn’t really get into the staples of the Jamaica cuisine.
Not even close 😢
This is my two worlds colliding lol being a Jamaican of cuban heritage 😊
That's so 🆒️ , you have the best of 🌎 🌎 🇯🇲 🇨🇺, & i have tried 🇯🇲 food its 😋 , & some dishes are similar to 🇨🇺 foods. 🇨🇺 ❤ here.
I'm jealous!😂😂
Its ackee, the NATIONAL dish of Jamaica. Made with salt-fish (bacaloa, codfish)
Usually ackee and saltfish is not served with rice and peas so that was an odd pairing
One of the best pairings, that you can realise
Underrated pairing that mon
@@AdrianNicholson-pr4if Callaloo and Ackee underrated pairing too.
Much love to y'all people that tried Jamaican 🇯🇲 food

Female with the gray was the only one who got busy, the rest were apprehensive imo
Bacalao = salted fish/codfish
Ackee = fruit (not eggs)
Festival ≠ Fried dumplings
Callaloo(and salted fish) >≠ Collard greens
Rice and peas ≠ Rice and beans
Plantain is very common throughout the Caribbean but I think DR/PR like green plantain more than ripened like we do.
Jamaica land we love.
😂 So glad to see you guys enjoying our cultures food 😋. Big up Jamaica 🇯🇲 and Big up my Latin American peoples.
❤ Jamaican food. My fav are patties

It is not eggs it is called Ackee. It came from Ghana.🇬🇭🇯🇲
They gave them festival and said fried dumplin

We are Caribbean’s 😂
Awww they think it's eggs 😂 the first time I remember that i saw ackee and saltfish as a 3-4 year old i said, "yaaay egg" and my family laughed😂
