This famous Jamaican Cuisine called "JERK" is a cooking process born of the outdoor cooking of meat or fish . The food is usually marinated in a spicy blend of home-grown Jamaican seasonings such as pimento seeds, escallions, thyme, scotch bonnet pepper. It is placed on flavoured woods laid over hot coals. When these pits are prepared and large portions of fish or meat are laid on, once the cooking begins, the tantalizing aromas fill the air.

You just can't resist the haunting desire to taste the food, to sample the succulent meat is such an experience, so what starts out as a just a taste soon becomes a "belly-full". The native Jamaican especially in some parts of the island have become pros at it, and can be credited with first creating this delectable fare.
