No visit to Jamaica is complete with trying the national dish of Ackee and Saltfish. This dish is so well-loved it has been named one of the top ten national dishes in the world. It is prized for the combined salty and spicy tastes of black pepper mixed with local spices. The ackee fruit was brought to Jamaica from Ghana in the 18th century. It is a member of the soapbettery family and is related to the lychee. The dish is lovely to behold: bright yellow ackee contrasting with green peppers and red tomatoes. Generally served at breakfast with dumplings, yam, green bananas, or breadfruit, lovers of the dish are happy to serve it and eat it at any time of the day. And you will too!
