This is a classic Jamaican Sunday breakfast: Ackee and Saltfish, with Festivals on the side.

 

Ackee, if you don't know, is a fruit. In its unripened state, it is poisonous and was once banned in the US.

 

When prepared with salted cod fish, Ackee and Saltfish is Jamaica's National Dish. Savoury and yummy!

 

Festival is a fried dumpling originating at Hellshire Beach, a small fishing village with a nice beach on Jamaica's south coast. What sets it apart from regular fried dumplings is the addition of corn meal, giving it a nice texture, and the use of cream soda because they had no running water. Delicious!
