The heat from Jerk Cooking comes chiefly from Scotch Bonnet Peppers, which are also used to delicious effect in the Jamaican National Dish, Ackee and Saltfish. The salted cod is sautéed with the boiled ackee fruit, those fiery Scotch bonnet peppers, tomatoes, black pepper and pimento. Look for it served with Breadfruit (roasted, fried or boiled), Hard Dough Bread (aka Hardo bread), Dumplings or Plantain (Green Cooking Bananas). It can also be eaten with Jamaica’s favourite accompaniment of rice and peas (without the queues, via the Just Eat app). Jamaican Chicken Pumpkin Soup is a traditional Saturday soup – a quick one-pot meal with carrots, yellow yam, Irish potatoes, dumplings and, of course, Pumpkins. Oh, and it doesn’t have to be Halloween – but it just has to be the Just East app.

Jerk Cooking is Jamaica’s greatest culinary export. Get it through street vendors, upmarket restaurants and, with less hassle, through the Just Eat app. Jerk Chicken is the most popular. Jerk Pork comes in second. But the fiery magic of Jerk lends itself to anything, especially Jerk Fish, Shrimp, Shellfish, Sausage, Lamb, Tofu and even Jerk Conch. Nowadays, meat is scored and marinated or dry-rubbed with the Jerk Sauce – a spicy blend of Allspice (Pimento), scallions (shallots or spring onions), thyme, garlic and Scotch Bonnet Peppers. It’s then smoked, but kept from direct flames by a sweet wood like pimento, as getting just the right amount of charring is crucial. (As is getting the Just Eat delivery app.)
