What Do Jamaicans Eat?
Have you ever wondered what Jamaicans eat? The most popular food in Jamaica is Jamaican Banana Fritters. To me that food since weird, but to them it’s delicious. It’s mashed banana that is served all day around. It is fried with cinnamon and warm butter. Yum that sounds good. There is also a good drink and it is called Blue Mountain Coffee. It is good and if you don’t want to buy them, you can go pick some.Thats right the beans grow there. To me if I liked coffee I would taste that kind. Blue Mountain Coffee is famous for its non- bitter taste.Next its Plantains which are topped with butter, salt and pepper.They are fried green bananas just like potatoes. I saved the best for last Jerk Chicken. Jerk Chicken is chicken rubbed with spicy Jerk sauce. That must be luscious to taste. If I had it I would love it.
Having Fun In Jamaica
If you like Jamaica and you want to have fun. Go to Dunn's River Falls. Dunn’s River Falls is a famous waterfall near Ocho Rios. If I was there I would probably stay there for the whole day. Jamaica and a major caribbean tourist attractions that receives thousands of visitors each year. If that place is too far then try going to Kool Runnings. It is located in Negril. It is a five star
water park. To me that sounds like a good water park. It has water slides, lazy rivers, and bungee trampolines.
Montego Bay Attractions
Montego Bay is a major tourist attraction in Jamaica. It is located on the north western coast of Jamaica. It is known for its beautiful white, sandy beaches. Also, it has awesome restaurants and great shopping. Many visitors enjoy traveling on the glass bottom boat, sky-diving, and scuba diving in the warm turquoise water. To me that sounds like a good place to go. If you want to look for fish and crabs, I would recommend going near rocks.
