Some of very popular Jamaican foods probably would be included in Andrew Zimmern’s Bizarre Foods. Very popular dishes include curried goat, stewed oxtails, cow’s feet, mannish water (all different body parts of the goat are used in this soup) and mackerel run down. Of course the infamous jerked chicken (jerked anything actually) is quite popular but best cooked over an open fire smoked by pimento wood. Needless to say I have not included any of these recipes. However I have chosen to share recipes that are easy and quick to make in your own homes. When you go to Jamaica, you will have to try our cuisine 1st hand.
