Jamaica is world famous for its beaches, weather, music and people, but Jamaica also has some scrumptious dishes too. Although, major fast food chains like Kentucky Fried Chicken and Popeye’s are popular among Jamaicans (Yes, Jamaicans love chicken), nothing can “ramp” with the true Jamaican cuisine, so we decided to rank the top 10 Most Popular Jamaican Dishes. This list is in no particular order, but somethings ARE more popular than others, like jerk chicken. Forward!

1 - Jerk Chicken

2 - Jerk Pork

3 - Patties (Beef, Chicken, Saltfish, Ital, etc)

4 - Guinness Ice Cream

5 - Oxtail

6 - Curry Goat

7 - Dumplings

8 - Mackerel Run Down

9 - Callaloo

10 - Ackee

There a certainly things missing, but they just don’t make the top ten! Jerk Chicken is rightfully at the top because chicken is well loved in Jamaica.
