Otaheti Travel North Coast Jamaica Foodie Trip
Want A One-of-a-Kind Foodie Adventure? Venture on an Otaheti Travel North Coast Jamaica Foodie Trip
Are you dreaming of the ultimate food lover's vacation in Jamaica? Yes, Jamaica is a foodie paradise.
Jamaican cuisine reflects the people and cultures that have inhabited what the Arawaks called, “The Land of wood and water”; the cuisine is African at its core, with English, East Indian, Chinese, Spanish, Lebanese, Syrian influences and flavors. The iconic Jerk may have been a barbecuing technique used by the original inhabitants of the island, the Arawaks (Tainos). Who is responsible for Jerk remains a mystery.
Jamaica is the perfect destination for Foodies, to learn about the cuisine, while satisfying their curiosity and taste buds with spicy, juicy jerk chicken and pork, Ackee-n-Saltfish (The National dish), johnnie-cakes, delicious pastries like gizzadas. You will have a wide assortment of exotic fruits to sample -- mango, naseberry, guinep, guava, sweetsop, soursop, June plum and many more to try. And of course let's not forget the world-class Blue Mountain coffee with its well-balanced flavor, excellent body and medium acidity. Slowly slip your Planter’s punch, savor the distinctly flavored local rums while watching the sunset; quench your thirst with a cold Red Stripe or a Ting or two.
Sign up for cooking classes and meet other Foodies. As you immerse yourself in the delightful Jamaican cuisine, you will have ample time to go snorkeling, swimming, hiking, rafting, fishing, birding; learn to identify medicinal plants, climb waterfalls, spelunk, and more!
