Ackee and saltfish isn't just a Jamaican breakfast,
filling meal. This necessity became a symbol of Jamaican resourcefulness. But it's more than that. By making this dish their own, Jamaicans took ownership of their past, transforming a symbol of hardship into a celebration of resilience and cultural pride.
What to know before trying it.
Ackee can be toxic if the fruit or pod hasn't ripened and opened naturally on the tree. Locals are knowledgeable about this and skilled in preparing it safely. Jamaicans love spicy food, but you can request adjustments in the spice level to suit your taste. Enjoy!

If you’ve done any research on Jamaica’s vibrant popular culture you would have come across the annual celebration known as carnival.
For about a week each year carnival-goers, or revelers as they are popularly known, participate in parties, concerts and costumed street parades of dancing to Caribbean soca music. In Jamaica it may be fair to say that carnival is a pop culture event but it comes from other areas of the Caribbean where it has deeper cultural, religious and historical significance.
