Jamaican Jerk Hut Description:
Nicola Shirley, high priestess of island food, presides, ladling out her famed goat curry and spicy jerk chicken. From English rule there's oxtail stew with roti (a chickpea pancake used to wrap varied fillings---another Indian influence), and, of course, jerk chicken that's the island's own. Start the meal with conch salad or mango salsa, heated by Scotch bonnet peppers and cooled by cilantro. Try salt fish fritters or calaloo (a spinach-like vegetable) tarts that are one of many vegetarian offerings, such as sides of spinach with groundnuts (true African) or okra. Make yourself some rum punch, enjoy reggae tunes and chow down, but don't forget to include a slice of Shirley's carrot or coconut pound cake for dessert.
