"Jerk" is traditional Caribbean barbeque very different than the usual barbeque most persons are used to. Chicken or pork is covered with a thick aromatic paste made from scallions, vinegar, allspice, scotch bonnet peppers, and molasses and allowed to marinate overnight before being placed on a a wood or charcoal fire with the addition of pimento (allspice tree) wood. Smoking is done for several hours until the meat is thouroughly cooked. The meat is then chopped bone and all into bite sized pieces to eat with one's fingers. Usually served with rice and peas boiled in cocoanut milk. The best Jerk Chicken can be found in Boston Bay, near Port Antonio, Jamaica.
