Spice level warning — Bammy is not what I expected

I underestimated Bammy. The fiery and aromatic description didn't prepare me for the reality. scotch bonnet brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.

ackee is legally restricted for export when unripe due to toxicity — an unusual national dish ingredient. The a roadside rum bar setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. Red Stripe beer cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
