the istry guide
to jamaica.

The deep east. Maroon country. The food here predates the British.

Where jerk was born. Full stop.

The parish you drive through on the way to Portland. Your loss.

Garden Parish. Birthplace of Marley and Garvey. The bammy here is worth the drive.

Rum country. Hampden Estate lives here. Proceed with respect.

Montego Bay. Tourist Jamaica and the real thing exist fifteen minutes apart.

The parish next to the party. Lucea feeds you better for less.

Negril. Seven miles of beach. The seafood comes off the boat the same day you eat it.

The breadbasket. Jamaica feeds itself from here.

2,000 feet up. Cooler air, different soil, underrated food.

Flat, hot, built on sugar. The rum tradition here is older than the country.

Spanish Town history. Hellshire fried fish. Sunday done right.
