“The Jamaican Dutchy” is a rather large food truck that claims to serve “authentic Jamaican cuisine.”
I came across this truck yesterday and couldn’t resist trying some Jamaican fare. After all, I haven’t really had good, authentic Jamaican food. I’ve tried “jamaican patties”, jerk chicken and the like but never really enjoyed them or considered them authentic.
So I was hoping the Jamaican Dutchy would change my opinion of Jamaican food. Thankfully, it did.
I ordered a “mini-meal” of stew chicken and some red bean soup. It was all
served in styrofoam and wrapped in plastic. The stew chicken reminded me a little bit of adobo. Stew chicken supposedly uses scallions, garlic, thyme and lime juice and something called “browning sauce”.
The red bean soup was thick, heavy and hearty – perfect for a cold, damp day.
Next time, I ‘ll try their cow’s feet . . .
