This is a creole language (See the lesson on creole on this web site) made up of an English superstrate and African substrate.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-jamaican-food-healthy\"><\/span>Is Jamaican food healthy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Jamaican Foods. Jamaican cuisine is healthy because it is made with many unprocessed foods, uses smaller portions of meats, has a high content of fish, beans, and vegetables, and, most of all, because it is an eclectic mix of the best that African, European, Indian, and Chinese cuisines have to offer.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-jerk-chicken-jamaican\"><\/span>Is Jerk Chicken Jamaican?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Jerk chicken, a spicy grilled-meat dish mostly associated with Jamaica but common throughout the Caribbean.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-the-name-of-jamaica\"><\/span>What is the name of Jamaica?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The island&#39;s name, Jamaica, is derived from the Arawak word Xaymaca, which probably means &#34;land of wood and water&#34; or &#34;land of springs&#34;.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-does-jerk-mean-in-jamaican\"><\/span>What does jerk mean in Jamaican?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Jerk basically refers to a type of meat, whether it is chicken, pork, beef, fish, goat, fruit or vegetables, and in Negril, Jamaica, a Jamaican jerk is referring to how the food is cooked.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-is-it-called-jerk-spice\"><\/span>Why is it called jerk spice?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Etymology. The word jerk is said to come from charqui, a Spanish term of Quechua origin for jerked or dried meat, which eventually became the word jerky in English. The term jerk spice (also commonly known as Jamaican jerk spice) refers to a spice rub.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-does-jerk-taste-like\"><\/span>What does jerk taste like?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>What does Jamaican seasoning taste like? Jerk spices are complex and pungent. Jerk rub has a unique warm and piquant flavor with subtle sweet, smokey and salty undertones.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"when-did-jerk-become-an-insult\"><\/span>When did jerk become an insult?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While the OED&#39;s earliest citation is from 1937 (for \u201cjerk off\u201d), the Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang has citations for the masturbatory \u201cjerk\u201d from the 1880s and \u201cjerk off\u201d from the early 1890s.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-jerk-chicken-good-for-you\"><\/span>Is jerk chicken good for you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Is Jerk Chicken healthy? Yes, this spice-rich dish is loaded with nutrients and vitamins from the natural and whole ingredients used in its marinade.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-jamaican-food-salty\"><\/span>Is Jamaican food salty?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Jamaican food features a diverse array of sweet, salty, and sour flavors. This type of cuisine uses spices and cooking techniques influenced by cultures from places such as Africa, Portugal, and India.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-shawarmas-healthy\"><\/span>Are Shawarmas healthy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Shawarma might be an easy snack or dinner to grab on the go, but it is far from a healthy one. The marinated strips that are shaved off from the rotating cone of meat already have fat running through them, and more likely than not, they will have been doused with yet more during the cooking process.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"whats-in-a-jerk-seasoning\"><\/span>What&#39;s in a jerk seasoning?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Ingredients In Jamaican Jerk Seasoning Spices \u2013 Cumin, nutmeg, allspice, smoked paprika, cinnamon. Heat \u2013 Red pepper flakes and cayenne pepper. Sugar \u2013 Just some brown sugar for a well rounded depth of flavor.
