It's Wednesday so it's time to talk about a Jamaican Main Dish, so let's jump right in!
Ackee and Saltfish
This is a traditional Jamaican dish that in which salt cod is sauteed with boiled ackee, onions, peppers, tomatoes and spices. This could either be served as breakfast or dinner alongside breadfruit, fried plantain, and/or dumplings. XP
Oh, and if the name ackee sounds familiar to you, it's because it's the famous Jamaican fruit that is poisonous when it is unripe. Eating an unripe ackee can result in Jamaican Vomiting Sickness, so handle this fruit with much caution!
