why isn't Jamaican food as popular as Italian? What is it with white people and Italian food? Is Italian cooking the most seasoning they can handle without ruining their culinary experience

I know this is bait but:

Jamaican cuisine is made out of lots of external influences, both European and Asian using local ingredients.

The dishes and cuisines that influenced Jamaican cuisine are also common in the rest of the world, but usually not in the specific Jamaican form.

There aren't many Jamaicans around in the rest of the world, but there has been lots of Italians immigrants that started restaurants. I'm sure that if done well, Jamaican cuisine would be popular in bigger metropolitan areas that can support such niches. But it seems to lack some dish or dishes that are unique with broad commercial appeal and that doesn't exist in other forms around the whole world. Pizza was such hit for Italian cuisine.

A lot of Italians ran away to the US so they had the opportunity to spread their food in more places. Jamaicans aren't as widespread in the US are in concentrated areas. I do agree that Jamaican food tastes way better though.

I had a trinidadian friend growing up, their food was alright, but quite spicy

My neighborhood had a good Jamaican place that came in. You could smell them smoking the meat everyday. I got the jerk chicken with rice, beans, and cabbage. They had a ghost pepper hot sauce too. It was really good. Started out at $7 and three months later it was $13. They're the Jews of black people.

3rd: Is weed involved in your reasoning?

>> No.14383971

Jamaica is third world island with third world ingredients and variety. Everything is jerked and grilled until dry and rubbery. To compensate for the poor quality of the vegetables and meat, they cover it with heavy hot spices and then serve it over rice.

What's the big fucking deal? Just pass the boof and get over it.

italian cuisine has an immense history, and contains both peasant dishes and high cuisine. it has also travelled with the italian diaspora to the US and has been estalbished as a commercial success worldwide. thats why its more popular. jamaican is great for peasant food, really great with spicy and filling dishes, but its range isnt as great, its not a white thing: other great cuisines include turkish, persian, indian, chinese, japanses, french, and at one time roman. i dont know enough about some others to call them truly great cuisines, but perhaps greek, middle east/muslim, southeast asian. great peasant cuisines are mexican, brazilian, new orleans/soul food, etc.

Listen. If you actually cooked anything other than roadkill you wouldn't have to overcompensate with a metric shit ton of spices to cover up for the fact you can't cook.

I had some jerk chicken and dirty rice once and gotta be honest it was better than any pasta I've ever had in my life. Caribbean seasoning is the shit
