The mamás were in for a treat when we asked them to try some delicious dishes from the island of Jamaica! 🌴
Among those tasty treats were Jamaican chicken curry patties which are a savory chicken pastry. Jamaica's national dish, ackee and saltfish, was a favorite among the moms. Spicy jerk chicken was served with fried plantains and festival bread. The moms had some comforting oxtail with rice and peas, as well as curried goat with boiled dumplings. To end the meal, we served the mamas some sorrel and Jamaican black cake!

@@MamahChannely las Mamahs de se van a disfrasar?? Seria interesante un video que nos hablaran de eso o de sus tradiciones en Halloween 🎃 Gracias Mamah
Curry goat is usually eaten with white rice and dumplings are eaten with the ackee & salt fish
I was wondering why the producers didn’t plate it correctly. They missing out on the full experience. The rice is a Must
@@JordieJoandme07that's exactly what I came to the comment section for, whyyyyy didn't they give them the Ackee & Saltfish with fried dumpling!! Smh
The fried dumplings help balance out the salt from the saltfish
That's what I said wtf
When I saw the dumpling with the curry goat I was like wtf
Rice and pea with plantains
As a proud Jamaican, I love seeing this
After seeing this video. I need to try some Jamaican food brotha
The moms really enjoyed it!
I am Jamaican 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲❤❤❤❤
I'm smiling from ear to ear right now! Jamaica, the land we love 🇯🇲
Jamaican food is so deliciously awesome!
As a Trini I love seeing Jamaican cuisine being so loved upon 😍
Love to try Food from Trinidad.
Yes trinis and Jamaicans have the best food.
As a Jamaican I love u my Trini sis ❤
Love from Jamaica. I love Trinis, your food and your accent!😊😊
As a Trini, Jamaican, and Panamanian big love to this comment.
Momma in the black shirt was loving everything ❤
I am Jamaican and my husband is Mexican. This is everything!
that's the perfect combo right there.
I just know Thanksgiving in yall house is lit! Lol jelly😅
Your kids are honorary Belizeans in that case, because that's basically our culture lmfao
U enjoy tacos ?
@@gram01 I do. I also make them.
As a Jamaican I’m glad to see the moms try our food.
Any recommendations for other Jamaican dishes to try in case of a part 2? 😋
@@MamahChannel gizzada, coconut drops, plantin chips, banana chips, peanut cake, jackass corn (almost like a chip) stamp and go (salt fish fritters) grater cake, fry fish with festival or bammy. Hominy (corn) porridge.
@@MamahChannelbrown stew chicken.
@@MamahChannelMackerel run-down
Need to try the drinks, Guinness punch, peanut punch, pineapple punch etc
"Congrats jamaica, your food is so good" I like that 🙂
As a Caymanian, im so happy to be the closest island to Jamaica. We have the best chefs because of Jamaica, memba DAT❤❤❤❤
Now get some Jamaican moms to eat some Mexican food 🥘
Honestly, You’ll probably hear a lot of “no sah” and “mi nuh like dat” 😂 they are not too open minded to anything out of the island.
@@NicaDolly876not all Jamaicans are like that, especially when they travel to places like Panama or Belize
@@Slick_777 I don’t care if it made you mad lol. Jamaican is a Nationality not a race. I’m Jamaican and I also live here. Maybe not all, but I speak facts. Jamaican ppl badmind yf. I wouldn’t change my island but it’s facts. Out of many one people.
When I went to Tulum in Mexico fried Plaintain was available as was Coco-tea. You can't get more Jamaican than that:)@@NicaDolly876
Lolol 😂 looking for trouble eh?
As a Jamaican, i love when sorrel is very strong with the ginger that you can feel the burn going down my throat😅 it just feels warm n cozy😊
i discovered, if you mix sorrel with seltzer it taste EXACTLY like Kombucha.
@@anonmon8550 that's interesting, never had neither of the later.
Agreed😊
Yessss ✨😂
Burn and warm and cozy in the same sentence is funny. I like my sorrel mid string
Who paired these together? Lol. Why wasn’t the goat served with white rice and the dumpling with the ackee?! Also, maybe should’ve told them that the ackee fruit isn’t a sweet fruit so they shouldn’t expect to taste sweetness. Glad they got to taste and enjoy the food. ❤
Exactly lol
I do wonder what info was given to then beforehand. Seems like none, which probably isn't a bad thing. But some of their opinions would have been different if they knew the intent of the pairings.
Exactly
Right
"Out of many one people" as the Jamaican motto says. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲. Everyone can find a bit of themselves in Jamaican culture. That's why Jamaica's culture is so infectious in very good way and in this case a VERY FLAVOURFUL way. One love❤🇯🇲🇯🇲😃.
One thing y'all forgot was the fried dumpling with the ackee . My favorite Jamaican dish 😊😊😊😊
Or breadfruit
@@shania.-. yesss love me some breadfruit
yess ackee and fried dumplings is so good!!! or with boiled banana mmmmm
I was thinking that, I’ve never seen ackee and salt fish just eaten as a meal but maybe that’s just me
Yes I was watching like ah weh d fried dumplin?!? Bread fruit?! Some ting!😂
As an African American, I really enjoyed seeing different cultures of people enjoy good food. Reminds me that we arent all that different after all.
As an Afro Latino (I’m Mexican), I agree 💯. That means I am 100% Mexican, but I am racially Black (kinda mixed since most Latinos are mixed race). We have similar history as Black people in the U.S. You needa visit the places in Mexico where the people are majority Black, we Afro Mexicans make some good ass food and for my Black American brothers and sisters, I invite you to come explore the African diaspora in Mexico 😊
I’m Half Louisiana Creole and Mexican but everytime I visited Mexico, most of the Afro-Mexicans seemed black and Indigenous mixed. Very beautiful people!
I love the Mamah with the cast and the Mamah with the short, light brown hair. You can tell they are both great cooks. They are always spot on with the descriptions of ingredients. I'm glad everyone liked the meals overall, although I'm not used to eating them in these combinations. I'm surprised the Ackee and Saltfish was so well received, because ackee has a very distinctive taste and texture that isn't for everyone. And, yes, our sorrel is definitely stronger! I'm more likely to drink it from a Mexican or Peruvian spot than at home. 😂 Thanks for trying our cuisine. It's some of the best in the world, and I'm so happy everyone liked it!❤
I love my country big up Jamaica 🇯🇲
🇯🇲❤️
@@MamahChannel I live in Jamaica, and there is actually a Jamaican/Mexican restaurant called Chillitos. One of my favourite restaurants too. The combination of flavours is great. So I'm not surprised that our food was loved by the Mexican moms. 😊
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲as a proud Jamaican I love seeing this. The Fried Dumplings or Roasted Breadfruit was missing with the ackee and Saltfish
😮😮😢😅
Trust the breadfruit is a madness
Man they ain’t ready for breadfruit
Or bammy
Hardo bread too if you’re too lazy 😅
My grandma used to soak her fruits in rum for the Black cake for a year before making it for Christmas. She is a legend 🎉💕
As a Jamaican I can say I loved this, it made me smile a lot.
I’m so glad the moms are trying not only Jamaican food but other countries with the similar culture 🇯🇲🇹🇹🇧🇧🇬🇾🇸🇷🇻🇨🇬🇩🇱🇨🇭🇹🇧🇿🇰🇳
Once they try Belizean foods they’re gonna notice a deep overlap in Mexican food just slightly different names or coconut flavor added
Thats why i always say Jamaica represent the Caribbean, everyone eats Jamaican food. The patty, ackee, jerk, Jamaican boil dumplings, Jamaican rice and peas, etc.
I forgot Grenada 🇬🇩
@@Den-gz4yo LoL I'm waiting for Trinidad to respond LoL
Damn you forgot the Bahamas 🇧🇸
My one criticism of this channel when trying another country’s food is learning how to eat them properly to respect that culture and get the best experience of that dish. I just see foods eaten the wrong way too often. Love you Mamah! Channel but you got to research that part. The salt fish and ackee was eaten wrong. They are meant to be eaten with plantains and other stuff. A similar thing was done as well when y’all tried Filipino food. You’re supposed to eat those dishes with white rice. It’ll be like eating a taco without onions, sauces, and other fixings that make tacos amazing.
Good point. Serving Ackee and Saltfish in isolation is like serving a hamburger with no french fries.
A hamburger with no bun! Edible but we want the bun!
THANK YOU!!! Like who the hell serves curry goat with freakin dumplings!!!??? Not Jamaicans!
And the patty!!! The classic is beef and its eaten from A FREAKIN PAPER BAG, ABSOLUTELY.NO.EXCEPTIONS!!!!
Unless we forgot to go buy rice and all the shops were closed then there’s no way we’d serve it with boiled dumpling 😄
I was like HUH?!?! curry goat with boiled dumplin? usually its curry chicken and boiled dumplin@@Yelkz367
So many positive comments. I can tell you that we Jamaicans love mexican food too!
Please like this if you're also a Jamaican and you were also dying of laughter at the host's pronunciations. I was rolling on the floor when she pronounced patty but Sorrel took me out 🤣🤣🤣
but nuff love stills. I appreciate the love y'all showed my culture and I'm glad they enjoyed the food.
I am Puerto Rican, but my husband is Jamaican and my mother in law makes ALLL of the food in this video (give or take a few different varieties...I dont think she puts dumpling with curry goat or makes her festival look like a garlic knot...but maybe that's just her). Jamaican food has easily become one my favorites with all of the flavors and spices that they use. My mother in laws black cake is soooo delicious and now that the holidays are approaching I'm excited because I know she will make some for me. The only thing I still don't like....Sorrel.
Don't worry, none of us make curry goat with dumplings- it's always white rice or rice and peas. And the festival doesn't have to look like a knot, though that's cute. Often people make them long. Do you find any similarities between Jamaican and Puerto Rican food? For example rice and peas/frijoles con arroz?
No I’ve never had any family or friends cook curry goat and boiled dumpling🤣 Jamaicans would cuss if somebody sat down eating that🤣💀
See if you can learn some of her recipes
Aww ..Sorrel is one of those things that everyone puts there own spin on. Whether it be a lot or a little ginger, alot of sugar or a little, and with or without rum. I hope you can find a flavor profile of sorrel that you like. 😊😊
The only festival I’ve had was shaped like a canoe
I’m surprised Mexican moms are complaining about the spiciness of the food but I guess Jamaican food is very spicy 🌶️
Well some have assimilated to think that anything stronger than pepper is spicy.
Yea we tend to use scotch bonnet in majority of our dishes and it's one of the spiciest so yea it's another level but I love it !😩
Wait till they try Nigerian rice 😭the spice and hotness is not for the weak
It’s also depends on what part of Mexico you come from.
I'm not sure it's complaining but more so describing, probably as they were asked to do for the video. I think they have a good tolerance for the spiciness.
Omg as a Jamaican I feel honoured by their love for our food!
They are so kind and respectful. That's nice of them.
Shout out to all the Jamaican ppl on this channel. I am Puerto rican and I loveeee Jamaican food, it's flavorful and delicious. Love seeing the wonderful ladies of mamah! trying 🇯🇲 cuisine🔥❤️
❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤
As a born jamaican i can confirm that Sorrel IS a type of hibiscus so their guess is on point.
Sorrel,the drink, is made with hibiscus flowers. The Mexican drink is also made with hibiscus but prepared differently usually with the hibiscus, sugar and water.
They have a drink called Jamaica,same thing
Jamaicans bought sorrel to Mexico..it’s called flor de Jamaica in Mexico…
Salt fish is bacalao
@@davidscott3726flor de Jamaica because sorrel was bought to Mexico by Jamaica
Thanks Mexican Mom’s! We Jamaicans enjoy Mexican food as well
Arguably the (2) BEST cuisines not from Europe to be introduced to America
Much Love! ✊🏾
Yes because I also really like Mexican food. Spice is life. 🇯🇲
I love Jamaican cuisine 🔥
As a Jamaican when I travel America and can't find Jamaican food I go for Mexican food because I can relate to the flavors
Love these ladies. They give positive and honest thoughts.
I went to Jamaica in July. The food is so good. & the people are so friendly & nice. 🇯🇲
Everyone as so analytical… I loved it.
But they were so dainty with the oxtails.
C’mon, Mamas… you gotta gnaw on it!
Love this! ❤ Love our different cultures coming together and sharing what we love. God bless these tias. ❤️
I can’t believe how respectful all these women were.
Im African American n i can say i love my Jamaican brother n sisters food.
I love the Moms! And I love how everyone’s tastebuds are so different!
Thank you for watching ❤️
As a Jamaican, I'm glad to see the selection of foods you gave them for their first experience!
This vid literally brought tears to my eye. this vid represents the mix of my family. Caribbean and Mexican. For the holidays I am often asked to make curry Chicken Tamales.
I’m not Jamaican (west African) but I grew up around a lot of Jamaicans and went to their house parties. Watching this was so nostalgic. Now I wanna go to a Jamaican house party again where they serve all this food! ❤
Everyone should get the opportunity to enjoy Jamaican food. So delicious
Sorrel or hibiscus 🌺 is also a very common drink in Sudan 🇸🇩 too 🇯🇲
🇸🇩🇸🇩🇸🇩🇸🇩🇸🇩❤
❤The Diaspora is so beautiful
I think Ghana has it too 🤩
I love it! Glad they enjoyed the food with appreciation! I most enjoyed their commentary, they know food!
This makes me so happy since my hubby is Honduran & I’m Jamaican , fun mix.
What a unique/much needed mixture of cultures we needed!!!!🇯🇲🇲🇽 Imagine the immaculate things both cultures can come up with if they cook together 🤩🥰❤️🇯🇲🇲🇽
A Jamaican/Mexican restaurant? 🤯Can someone make that happen?
Being a proud Jamaican, it’s fair to say Mexican food and Jamaican was always my favorite. I feel like both cultures really know how to blend different flavors
In Curaçao we have similar black cake. We call it "bolo pretu" in our language. I think alot of the food is similar to other Caribbean islands. We make them too, but we have our own specialties too ❤
the recipes are different
My favorite thing about these videos is that in all cultures you can find something similar to a dish that your family eats. Proving that even though were all different we can still always find a connection.
Yesss I love Jerk Chicken with Rice and Peas and Beef Patties .
Yesss! So delicious 🇯🇲
@@MamahChannelAmén to that 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
to start with a curry patty is a scary begining to this episode. beef patties are the only classic
I was thinking the same thing especially after seeing the curry goat. Whoever made this video loves curry.
I never buy chicken patties I was surprised that they didn’t use beef patties.
Exactly beef patty is the classic and cheese patty is the luxury suh I don’t know why they choose curry patty
RIGHT! I didn't know about curry patty till I came to America 😅
I was wondering why they used chicken patties. Everyone I know in my family back home prefers beef patty!
I’m a proud Chicagoan 😅 but we’re big on Jamaican food and culture even as black Americans ❤so I really enjoyed seeing this 😊
I love seeing people enjoy each other’s culture. It makes the world a smaller more comfortable place
I love this! As a Jamaican my self, I love Mexicans and their culture so its a treat to see them enjoy my culture!
& as a Mexican I love Jamaicans , y’all food 😩 MUSIC , culture , soul
The Jamaican curry patties are to die for,lol. They're so good along with some Jerk chicken.
Beef patties too❤ plus ones with cheese 😋
Go Jamaica 🇯🇲! My country! One of the best cuisines & culture imo ❤
I love seeing my Jamaican 🇯🇲 culture and cuisine on display and other countries enjoying it.
Try the ackee and saltfish with fried breadfruit next time and the curried goat with white rice. 🎉
The way I'm feeling proud like im Jamaican 😂😂 Big up the Caribbean
I found it strange how there were SEVERAL different interpretations of the onion/saltfish/ackee dish. Some said they couldn't really taste the fish. Others said it "tasted strongly of fish." One person said it tasted like pickles (which I usually taste acidity), while another person describes it as "very savory."
I suspect part of that may depend on which regions of Mexico these ladies are from. They may be accustomed to slightly different flavors profiles.
We don't all taste food the same way. Even in a family groups, people have their likes and dislikes.
@@Jolene8I don’t really think that was the point they were making it’s not about if liked it or not it’s just interesting how they could all taste completely different things it’s just interesting
😆 👏🏼 We have a saying in Spanish. “Cada cabeza es un mundo.” It roughly means every head is its own world. Each of us gives a very personal twist to our perception of the world and all the things in it. Be blessed. 🙏
The mom w the compression sleeve and the red head are my favorites!!!❤❤❤❤
I liked watching the people of Mexico taste the food of Jamaica. It was fun and honest! Do another! 🎉😊
Loved this! As a Jamaican, I’m so glad the moms are enjoying our culture. ❤🎉
Thank you for watching!❤️
Should have gave them Ackee and Saltfish with dumpling! We don't eat it by itself
@@876LND Yeah, or the boiled dumplings, the spinners
I’m half Jamaican and half Peruvian. I’m a huge fan of Mexican food. My mom’s best friend is Mexican and she always makes me homemade Mexican food. I also love Jamaican food and Peruvian food. It’s no wonder I’m so food oriented.
I know dinner in your house is NICE
You must eat a lot of good food. Lucky you!
I'm Jamaican and my ex was Peruvian. And his other ex was Jamaican lol.
@@Sonjay718Always🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@jujutrini8412I truly do but gotta balance it out by working out 😅
😊my hands just accidentally sent on this video i love what i saw I'm a fun lover of cooking all these foods here i know the correct combination to go with them and can make them too my old parents teach me alot i learned from them thank you moms for enjoying our island food 👍🏾
I love how they compare our food to theirs they are so close to us we want more of their food in jamaica ❤
The boil dumpling or festival should be served with the ackee and saltfish.
The curry goat goes with white rice or boiled green bananas.
These dishes looked very well prepared, authentic and delicious😋.
Festival is serve with eschoveich fish, not ackee an saltfish, ackee is eaten with fried dumplings, bread, roast breadfruit or ground provisions, it can be eaten with rice also. It is the Jamaica national dish, which is mostly eaten with fried dumplings or roast breadfruit.
@dawnb12
Yes, you are correct.
But I was basically referring to the food they had in front of them and the food items they were talking about.
100% correct@@dawnb12
@@dawnb12 Ackee and Saltfish is Jamaica national dish, however, Ackee is the national fruit
@@Den-gz4yo sn't that what I said?
As a Jamaican I love this ! 🇯🇲however, I’ve never eaten curry goat with boiled dumpling or what we would call “food” aka ground provisions ( yam, green Banana etc ) with curry chicken yes but not curry goat…. Side note… black cake with white frosted icing ( usually made for weddings ) is 🔥🔥🔥🔥😂
I never had curry goat and boiled dumplin either! I was like what? Curry goat and white rice is a MUST with a side of sliced pear (avocado) 😆
Are you even Jamaican or just someone with relatives from Jamaica
@@Legend-lc9bv If he can make that distinction, he's Jamaican
@@Den-gz4yo if he never had a traditional Jamaican dish he isn’t
Jamaican born and bred and never heard of anyone pairing curry goat with dumplings!! Who did this? 😩
Alma makes the food look so appetizing! We need to see her in more videos, please.😋
love that they're enjoying it ! Big ups my home country ❤❤❤❤
As A Jamaican I love this our cultures are soo similar in many ways. And Mexican Moms and Jamaican Moms are so similar aswell literally felt like I was watching my Grandmas eat. Mexican food is definitely one of my favourite cuisines Love you Mexico definitely have to visit ❤️🇯🇲❤️🇲🇽
Sorrel is often drunk at Christmas, and often has more spices (e.g., pimento/allspice, cloves) than just the ginger. Well, everyone makes it to their own liking. It's even better with rum added
I'm glad you like our food!!!! ❤🇯🇲🙌🏼........... Bendiciones a tí ..... Blessings.
I'm Jamaican born with African, Hispanic and German/Irish ancestry.
As a half creole & islander, I'm glad their enjoying our food and I'm glad your like it.
I love how they enjoyed all the meals🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
I love this! I wish they gave the moms some fried dumplings to eat with the ackee & salt fish thou..
I love seeing other people try our food❤️.
They give such detailed and positive feedback. Moi bien mi hermanas.
Miro estos videos todo el tiempo y estoy muy feliz de que las mamás estén probando comida de mi país 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲. Nuff love and blessings🖤💛💚
Loved the sharing of our Jamaican cuisine. One question though, which Jamaican told you curry goat is eaten with boil dumpling? That’s not a thing.
I was thinking the same thing. The dumpling should have been paired with the ackee and salfish
I was quite confused myself. 😂 never had it with dumplings
Yes it is, there r some meats that’s served with rice or cook food such as yams, green bananas and dumplings. Different people from different parish do different combos.
Loved the lady in black with the bandage on her hand. She was so positive about everything and trying to eat it all.
These moms are everything.!! I am Jamaican and happy to see such good reviews, no bad mind!!! Love it!!! Curry Goat is better served hot with piping hot white rice (jasmine even better) and Ackee and Saltfish served with fried plantains and fried dumplings / johnnycakes and thinly sliced fried breadfruit sprinkled with salt or butter! omg!!
I am Black American and jamaican food is one of the best meals in the world especially brown stewed red snapper. I love all jamaican food.
Thank you for uploading my suggestion! 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
As a Jamaican myself that's makes me really happy😊to see other cultures trying our food's and i would love to eat some Mexican foods from a traditional Mexican restaurant when i get the opportunity to travel one day.
This is such a great idea. Love u. One Love from 🇯🇲. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love this video! I'm so glad they actually enjoyed the food.
Yes they did! Jamaica has amazing food!
I love trying food from different cultures especially because the food is similar but different Jamaicans have beef and chicken patties and Puerto Ricans have empanadas de pollo ,Carne molida and empanadas de queso.
I love the lady with the arm bandage thing, she's so kind
Ty for trying our Food in Jamaica! We worked hard to make them😊
This is exactly how it went in my house with my Jamaican father and Mexican mother. Awesome seeing it from a different perspective.
I love how they related a lot of the dishes to dishes from their own cultures!
I love these lady that's for trying something different. It sounds nice to hear you talk about west Indian food 🙏🏾 it's made with love just like you make it 🙂
My dad's side is from the Caribbean, I've never seen a dumpling like that with the goat...my grandmother made the dumplings rolled and thick cut then boiled in the gravy of the goat...yum
As a Jamaican this makes me so happy ❤. I will says sorrel is made from "Jamaica"/hibiscus and different people make it different ways, some with a strong ginger taste some without, and we add rum but you can have it without. We also normally have ackee and salt fish with something else not by itself, it's better as a meal.
Lots of love to my mexican peoples❤
Very fitting as both countries are known for their spicy food
Am new over here loving this great content Am supporting from sweet Jamaica 🇯🇲
Nice content love seeing other people try other country food
As a Jamaican,loved this.
As a Jamaican with a lot of paisano friends happy to see the moms enjoying Jamaican food .
The boiled dumpling is served with the ackee you can serve it with other boiled or fried food like breadfruit or plantains. The curry goat can be serve with jamaican rice and peas or white rice with plantains. I really hope they jerk the chicken with pimento wood and lot of walkerwood jerk sauce .Love my island so much!!!!!
