Description
Jamaica’s national dish is ackees and saltfish, a favorite in Jamaica and abroad. A bright red fruit that opens to reveal three large black seeds and a soft, creamy white flesh, ackees are often prepared like vegetables. When cooked, ackees are similar in texture and appearance to scrambled eggs, and they are a popular breakfast item – and a tantalizing delicacy.
