I am in need of Jamacian.Caribbean food help

[Capt.Flannel]

So I ran out of the bottle of Jerk sauce my parents got me in Jamaica and now I cannot find a jerk sauce that tastes like actual jerk sauce. HELP! What brands actually taste like the real thing?

jerk sauce is the shit

 

[*monsterskier*]

wat's jerk sauce?

 

[Capt.Flannel]

it's a spicy sauce/seasoning from Jamaica that you put on chicken, pork, or fish and it's the greatest thing in the history of the universe. It's ingredients include: Habaneros (or other equally hot peppers), allspice, nutmeg, and some other stuff.

 

[=FLO=]

piccapeppa (sp) you can get it at most grocery stores and it is the shit

 

[Capt.Flannel]

have you had jerk chicken at a Caribbean restaurant or in Jamaica or anything? Cause some of them that I've tried are good, but don't taste like the real thing.

 

[RudyGarmisch]

I dont know about Jerk sauce, but theres this amazing Caribbean place down the street from me.

depending where you live, i suggest going to a west indian grocery store to aquire such a product. im not super familiar with jerk sauce brands in particular, but i know for other hot sauces and such things i go to a west indian store. ( rather get a friend to go for me, since i dont live anywhere near one ).

Ya I searched all over downtown Burlington today for a Caribbean/West Indy grocery store and I couldn't find one.

So yes, part 2 of this thread: Does anybody know of a Jamaican/Caribbean/West Indy grocery store in Burlington, VT?

 

[artfullydodged]

there is a store near my house that is nothing but hot sauce and similar sauces, there is even an adult section!

make your own man, it's the only way. and once you make your own, buy an oil drum and make yourself an authentic BBQ for cooking the jerk. My dad makes his own jerk sauce and it tastes exactly the same as off the streets of Jamaica. Best jerk is with chicken marinating a whole chicken and then BBQing the whole thing. Trust me though, unless you know a Jamaican that makes his own, best is to keep trying to make different recipes until you have a good on.

 

[Capt.Flannel]

is there any way you can get me that recipe? I've made 5 different recipes and nothing has come out well.
