8:00 AM – Start your day with a traditional Jamaican breakfast at a local cook shop in my community. Enjoy fried or boiled dumplings with curry chicken, saltfish and baked beans, or callaloo—an introduction to vibrant Jamaican flavors. 9:30 AM – Visit my favorite local patty shop for freshly baked Jamaican patties. Choose from fillings like spiced beef, curried chicken, or vegetables, all wrapped in flaky, golden pastry. 11:00 AM – Take a scenic drive to Trelawny. Enjoy fresh seafood including crab, lobster, conch, shrimp, and fish, prepared in escovitch, curry, or steamed styles. 12:30 PM – No Jamaican food tour would be complete without trying the classic combination of roasted yam with saltfish. The earthy sweetness of the roasted yam pairs perfectly with the salty, spiced fish. 2:00 PM – End the tour with a hearty dinner box to take home, filled with curried goat, oxtails, homestyle chicken, or pork, served with rice and peas. —the ultimate Jamaican comfort food, rich in flavor and history
