Street food Bammy — the authentic version
The best Bammy I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The boldly spiced intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. coconut milk was used without hesitation, the way it should be.
ackee is legally restricted for export when unripe due to toxicity — an unusual national dish ingredient. The a Kingston jerk pit setting meant eating standing up or on a low stool, which is how this food is supposed to be encountered. ginger beer was sold right next to it. Don't wait to find the 'right' restaurant. Find the street version first.
