Being in the hospitality business on our lovely island has really exposed me to a lot. I remember rafting down the Rio Grande and hearing about this lady. She had recently passed and her daughter is carrying on the business. The food was really good. Our creativity and drive will always make us succeed.
This is indigenous from the Tainos, also eaten in the Guyana's in South America. Jamaican food is a mix of Indigenous, African, Indian, Chinese European and Middle Eastern. Many cultures that live close to the land share similar things not just African. If you notice I use an African name, and I'm quite Afrocentric, but I'm also believer in truth not myths.
It is not a myth. Jamaica's motto is: Out of many, one people. It therefore stands to reason that the Jamaican cuisine is a combination of ALL the cultures you mentioned in your post. Jamaica is unique because we embrace ALL of the cultures that make us who we are. One ❤️ 🇯🇲🇨🇦🙏🏿
reminds me of my vacation video with mokko! he cooks just the same, on fire, same pots, same food lol even the dumplins are round shaped like the ones on there lol well he is from the east coast as well, maybe thats why. love how the breadfruit is just put right on the fire.
Man, bringing back memories of my great grandma cooking outside in the country side of Manchester Jamaica. Man she knows her ground seasoning and pepper. Her jerk chicken was superb jerking with some type of wood that she rest on tap that Allows the flavour to soak even to the bone.😜
Honest question. Are there certain groups of Jamaicans who have a pepper pot recipe? My father's side of the family is Jamaican and I've never heard anyone mention the dish. But my Guyanese side of the family eats it every year for Christmas. I did a bit of digging and it seems like the Caribs and the African slaves across the islands had their own variations on the recipe but I'm wondering if there are certain groups within those cultures who don't know that those recipes are a part of their heritage?
Teach Black Americans dignity? Dude, if Marcus Garvey was so great, why couldn't he end British colonialism in Jamaica? I guess he was ineffective at teaching colonial Jamaicans to have some dignity for themselves instead of embracing their status as colonial British subjects and mimicking their British colonial masters. Check your dirty laundry before you start examining somebody else's. And what does Marcus Garvey and Black Americans have to do with some damn soup, which is the subject of this video? Some of you island people are too full of yourselves, ignorant, backward and intellectually incoherent. Smdh!
This is why people need other research engine besides just one because there's some places that's telling you that pepper pot soup originated in Philadelphia and we know that's not true
@ilalfisto Thanks ialfisto...even eedyats should be given the opportunities to learn, and be encouraged to balance their views. The only way to get rid of a chip...or in this case, what seems to be a block on the shoulder...is to start chipping away. Thanks again! Cheers!
I can bet he's making a shitload of money off this soup as a stubborn and poor Leah still on the side of the river selling he should pay her for that recipe why people still taking from us
They have been making that soup in Philadelphia for 250 years. They didn't get the recipe from her, do you suppose she is 300 years old? Leah makes more money than he does, selling to the tourists on the river bank, pays no rent or taxes, no gas or light bill, other than the cost of ingredients it's all profit. Don't feel sorry for her she knows what she is doing.
@@markcollins1708 In that case everything is theft. You sound like a Communist who doesn't understand the difference between earning money and stealing money. Everyone uses things invented by others, some things were invented so many centuries ago no one knows who or when. We all learn from each other and all benefit. Pull your head out of your butt, you are getting a shitty outlook.
@@mrdanforth3744 ok so since you're an expert in intellectual property. When something takes something from a specific people or culture without properly giving them the royalties as well as the credit they deserve it is still considered stealing. I e Elvis
@miggy221 Not just Africa, also India, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Americas. In fact both pepperpot and jerk are indigenous to Jamaica and the cooking methods and spices (pimento(allspice) and scotch bonnet peppers which are indigenous to the Caribbean and Latin America were used by the Tainos (Arawaks) who passed on their traditions to the Maroons who kept the traditions alive. Also our famous, at least to Jamaicans,bammy made from cassava/yucca.
No where in this video do I make the claim that George Washington created Pepperpot soup...only that it is said that he enjoyed a version of it. This story was told to us by the curator of the restaurant, Walter Staib. Your claim that this is rubbish is offensive, as is your tone.
Breddren...what de are you referring to? Did you even watch the video? The only "claim" made here was "as the story goes" using the ingredients that came up on ships from the Caribbean Washington's aid de camp who was from the West Indies made a "pepperpot soup" and served it to his troops. You have very clearly missed the entire story man...take off your dark glasses next time, you may see things a bit clearer.
you people who commented bullshit before it's not why black people are so fast it's why Jamaicans are so fast it's in are blood. we have been running fast for a long time but Americans who were taking steroids got first place now that the steroid tests being given are harder for Americans to get around you really see the dominance that Jamaicans have over track and field yuh zeeeet
One Hart..He might be slipping her a check or sending her some funds...we neva know. It is true what u say, he probably is making a fortune off her recipes...Good comment that u stated
Yes jamaicans invented a jamaican DJ that came to the bronx started hip hop so just go read and study history and if you have been to any jamaican reggae shows in even New York the eighties rappers themselves tell you that just go and do your research stop hating on Jamaica because we are very creative people go do your own research and you will see I'm not even going to give you the jamaican guy who was the one who was credited with this just go look it up for yourself
This Wayne Blake is obviously a hater but just check your history and you will realize that it was a jamaican who started hip hop and the hip hop old timers will tell you that for sure if you're ever been to the shows as far back as the early 90.s and of course jamaican created reggae is not west Indian reggae is Jamaica reggae music and culture go check it out
but George Washington never went to Jamaica... To be accurate he should've went to Barbados and gotten the Bajan recipe... Every island makes this dish a little bit different.
What a beautiful story. Jamaica,s food is the best

We all know this since most of our ancestors were ship to JA on ships from Africa as slaves.
