No. 230 - Bammy

I have been eating a lot of jerk chicken this week. I thought I would learn something about jerk spice, but didn't. However, I did learn that jerked meat, usually chicken or pork, is often purchased along with a bread called bammy.

Bammy or bami is a traditional Jamaican deep-fried cassava flat bread. The round cakes are prepared by soaking the dough in coconut milk or water and frying. Travelers to Jamaica have described it as "fried cassava cakes dripping in butter."
