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 unus…

I spent an afternoon making Bammy from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting coconut milk right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks.
