Friday Spicy Island Lunch

Jerk is a method of cooking meats that comes from the original inhabitants of Jamaica, the Arawaks. They roasted meats over fires of pimento wood from the allspice tree. Pimento wood gave a distinctive flavor to the meat and is still used for jerk grilling in Jamaica. Jerk marinades and rubs are often quite spicy with Scotch bonnet peppers. Recipes vary widely, but true jerk seasoning contains allspice. This recipe is for chicken, but pork, goat and even fish are also jerked. [Recipes].

note: Fun little list for Friday and weekend. Ska and early Jamaican music by Laurel Aitken. Shake your feet and go have a really nice spicy lunch. :D In the meantime, the reason MdM program has been all over the place and sparse, well… Moka is battling her gigantic list. It’s monsterous, I think it ate her. And I am fairly useless at the moment, have been listening to too many rock albums. My head explodes. So relax and enjoy the little posts while we sort things out.
