Like the language spoken by the populous, Jamaican cuisine is a creole of African, Arawak Indian, Asian Indian, Chinese, Spanish and English colonial influences. Jamaican food has gained wide acceptance because of this eclecticism. Jamaican food is highly spiced. The main seasonings are allspice (known as "pimento" in Jamaica) , the very flavorful and hot scotch bonnet pepper, and ginger. Some ingredients, like papaya, goat, grouper, rum and cho-cho (a bland green squash also called "cristophane" and "chayote" on other islands) are common to all Caribbean cuisine. However, Jamaican food is best known for its famous jerk seasoning. This incendiary barbecuing seasoning is concocted from scotch bonnet peppers, pimento, and other spices. The delicious scent of jerked meat is always an inviting smell. Also, because the Jamaican Rastafarians, famous for their dreadlocked hair and reggae music, are vegetarians, it is usually easy to find meatless selections in Jamaican restaurants. The Jamaican national dish is very unique. It is made of ackee and salted cod. Ackee is the fruit of a large glossy-leafed tree. Ackee is cooked with salt cod and onions and spices. It has a consistency and appearance of well beaten scrambled eggs. People who try ackee and salt fish usually give it two thumbs up!
