In this very special episode, Chef Walter takes us to Jamaica to show us how Caribbean cuisine and ingredients greatly influenced American Colonial recipes. Chef Walter prepares classic Jamaican dishes, such as Mannish Water (made from goat’s head), Akee and Saltfish (the most famous of Jamaican cuisine), Curried Goat, and Festival – a cornmeal fritter. We also tour the Southern Coast of the island, learning about pirates and being serenaded by a Mento band playing Jamaican folk music.
