ackee is legally restricted for export when unripe due to toxicity — an unusual national dish ingredient. I encountered it first in a beach seafood restaurant and that context helped me understand it properly. ginger beer is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Bammy is the dish to start with.
