In this Video I visit the home of jerk here in Portland parish Jamaica. This is one of the most famous jerk spots in the world because this is where jerk depending originates from way back in the 1700s during a time when the thiano Indians roamed this land. Join me as i eat a jerk pork and breadfruit, as well as a jerk chicken with the spiciest scotch bonnet sauce i have ever had along with my favorite, festival of course! If you are ever in the port Antonio area i suggest you try this spot it is world renowned and the food here is excellent! There are many shops you are able to choose from as well. Boston jerk center opens around 11am so make sure you get here early to beat the line.

Pork and Chicken aren't usually mixed together for religious or allergy reasons in Jamaica.
Understood 👌🏽
Breadfruit is delicious when it is semi-ripe, roasted, then fried with a little salt. Very delicious.
I will put some salt on it next time!
I love your vibe!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for showing Jamaica lots of love! Nuff love from Jamaica!
Thank you for the nice comment 👌🏽
Same here 👍🏽
Keep up the great!, your channel is going to grow exponentially. Because of your passion and authenticity.
Thank u very much for this comment it means a lot to me 👌🏽
@@morrisfletcher4201 I agree!!!
FESTIVALS 🤤🤤🤤
It’s my new favorite 👌🏽😂
Link him Jess
BLESSUPJESS!!! ❤️
Nothing says Portland like the rain. One of the many things I miss about home. The rain, you could hear it coming over the mountains. I would race it. Fun times. Sighs.
The rain was actually really nice here
@@PoJoTheBackPacker yeah. So calming as well.
Tell the people you meet to subscribe to your channel son. I really like your content.
I’m nervous to tell them but maybe i will try next time 👌🏽
I sprinkle salt on fried breadfruit. Sometimes the pork is so moist no sauce needed. You making me hungry. You're also in my favourite parish 😊😊
😂 the pork was so good! This is starting to be my favorite as well
Yea man agree pojo the Jamaicans in your videos and in comments have been great vibes 🤙🏼
Right haha
Nice to be in Jamaica
Such a beautiful country
Bread fruit slap harder when it is fried
Yea I’m going to try this seems to be the collective!
@@PoJoTheBackPackerroasted, then fried. You got the one that was only roasted without being fried after. Love the crisp on the fried breadfruit
My sister and I are Kingstonians and we only use to buy and enjoy 'turn'
(almost ripe) breadfruit at Coronation (currynation) market. We (mid 40s) still prefer turn breadfruit after 25 years in NYC.
I want festival. Your videos from Jamaica always making me hungry bro
The man seems like his intentions is to make me home sick.
In time though
@@prestonmatthews725 I can imagine. Your country is beautiful and so much culture. I hope one day to visit. Pojos videos convincing me. I hope soon you make it back 🤙🏼
people in New York try to replicate it but it’s not like back home in Jamaica. I live in Canada but I’ve lived in Washington D.C. and they try there too but they just can’t bring the authenticity of the Jamaican food their customers. I’ve never seen a restaurant in Canada nor the USA serve authentic Jamaican cuisine.
Glad i visited the island then 👌🏽
Festival is really good 😌 and I love your Jamaica videos and I just found u last wk 😅
Thank you very much 👌🏽
Your festival and chicken is done nice man! Great stuff Po Jo
It was fire
Wow bless up enjoy bro I love the pork with breadfruit mouth watering New York watching ur channel
Much love thank you very much 👌🏽
New subscriber here. Bless up for a great video. We’re looking forward to watching your journey. Blessings!
Plenty of more videos and more exploration on the way
First 😅😅I see that sun is hitting you hard!
Always when you spend all day on the beach!
@@PoJoTheBackPacker I only go to Jamaica in November that’s when the weather is absolutely perfect. Too hot now for me. Did you link with the creators that we suggested?
@Fitjamaicangirl I’ve messaged a few of them one got back I’ll make due I’m not worried plenty to explore
I love your vids! Great content… you have way more views than subscribers that speaks volumes ! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yea it’s crazy to me haha thank you for the support 👌🏽
Fry Breadfruit & Fry Eggs with Fry Plantain .. popular breakfast growing up in Jamaica!!
Really imma have to find this
The shot of you by the beach eating is chef’s kiss! 🔥🔥🔥Lose the sandals next time so you can wiggle your toes in the sand while you eat. 😅😅😅Sorry that those chaps weren’t friendly. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Haha yea i was relaxed as it was, and no need to apologize maybe they just didn’t want the camera around which i get i ain’t mad at them at all haha 👌🏽
@@PoJoTheBackPacker Still a way to do things without being rude. Especially when you are serving food it’s a spiritual thing ya know. Bless up
I won't mention my Buffalo Wild Wings experience again but that Jamaican food all looks amazing man, I'd try it all
Man you got to get down here one day!
I can tell how delicious food is in jamaica just by watching you eat 😋.
😂 telling you it’s 🔥🔥
Eating well and getting a crazy tan bro 🤙🏼🤙🏼
You know me 👌🏽😂
I’ll be I JA soon and I can’t wait to have some breadfruit.
You’re going to have a great time
It’s even better when it’s roasted, sliced, and fried.
Here watching from Barbados🇧🇧
Appreciate the love
PoJo-we eat the breadfruit after roasting it on what we call a “coal stove” until the skin is black then we peel it. We either eat it after roasting it or we fry it after roasting it. My favorite is when it’s fried. So delicious 🤤 with pretty much everything! Breadfruit is a part of Jamaica’s national dish: Ackee and salt fish and roast breadfruit. We typically add the salt after we fry it.
Ok i will have it fried next time! 👌🏽
@@PoJoTheBackPacker
Next visit try the breadfruit with ackee and salt fish.
Bro love his festivals you know 😅😅😅😅😅I love em too not gonna lie when I go all I eat is ackee with Saltfish and fried dumplings. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Pretty soon i will be expanding my Jamaican dishes i keep here of this fried dumpling.. what is this they have pork and beef ones ?
@@PoJoTheBackPacker No the fried dumpling it just like a festival but no sugar and it’s round instead of long. Try it with the ackee and Saltfish for breakfast.
@@Sandramundy got it
Portland is your favorite Parish @Po'Jo The Backpacker. Admit it. 😁
And dat is it!
My Mum is from here Po Jo gorgeous! I love Port Antonio and Anata Bay, Coopers Hill area! I love the beaches around here and San San Beach 🏖️ as well as the Blue Lagoon! I love Durian and jackfruit! Love Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia! I like breadfruit fried! ❤️ Jamaican 🇯🇲
Durian is gross haha
They understand the customers wants and needs!
Man my birthday Sunday, I been telling my wife I want some jerk ribs and red beans and rice and cabbage. I love that Jamican jerk.
Tell her make it happen 👌🏽
I enjoyed watching PoJo!❤
I appreciate this comment you’ve always been watching thank you very much 👌🏽
Festival is fried dough.....they put a little cornmeal and sugar in it.....and Breadfruit, is even better if you roast it and then once roasted you slice it and fry it over, it goes great with anything even bacon and eggs for breakfast.....or better yet, with ackee and saltfish.......glad you are enjoying Jamaica.
I will try it with these dishes
im glad you enjoy the food in Jamaica,im still waiting for you to go to blue mountain,your goong to enjoy it trust me
Don’t worry my brother i will make it there 👌🏽
@@PoJoTheBackPacker Alright bro👊🏽
They sell the Jamaican festival mix in a pack in supermarkets as well as on Amazon.
Butter and salt is good with the bread fruit it is nice with curry chicken too
Yes, true
Salt fish and breadfruit enjoy the food bro I was there six months ago
The food is always good 👌🏽
When I was back in Jamaica, I enjoyed fried breadfruit. We typically sprinkled a little salt after frying it. We normally eat it with sauce or gravy. It’s not for everybody and has an acquired taste.
I feel like with gravy would be so good I’m going to look for this!
Breadfruit is so good. No way that can be an acquired taste.
Hey that's not Scotch Bonnet Pepper but another type known as Bird Pepper and it's hotter and is primarily grown in Portland & St. Thomas. The Goat you saw was actually tugging at the leaves of a Breadfruit Tree.
Damn no wonder i was burning up.. i accidentally wiped my face and my forehead was burning so bad haha
@@PoJoTheBackPacker 😂
@@PoJoTheBackPacker yeah i normally don't add any pepper to mine, it's already well seasoned. I hate paying the price at the bathroom 🤣🤣🤣
Funny you mention the interaction you had at the Boston jerk place with the staff, i also had similar weird experience there last month lol 😅
I heard the jerk sausage is delicious so try it there if you can too
😂 for me i think maybe it was the camera lol next time im trying the sausage
Po Jo!
That’s Boston Jerk should be the best.
No Breadfruit is better than bread one of my favorite and in Portland you have the best Breadfruit there are different varieties all over the Island. Portland is famous for Yellow Heart breadfruit. Boston is outside of Port Antonio by a good few miles. Love your adventures spirt trying everything. Enjoy.
Yea i realized Boston was farther after i posted lol thanks for viewing 👌🏽
For the best festivals go to Helshire beach 😊
Okay i plan on it going there later in the month 👌🏽
Btw Po Jo, the breadfruit you ate was the fruit/leaves the goat was eating that you thought were mangoes. It is eaten as a staple, goes with any meat/chicken dish. Good with vegetable dish too, eg callaloo, ackee anything even fish. It also can be eaten by itself, roasted with a sprinkle of salt, roasted then fried sprinkled with salt. Ohhh, we also boil them.
I will remember this next time i eat it. And okay so even the goats like the breadfruit 😂
@@PoJoTheBackPacker yes. When it ripens (as it is a fruit), we feed it to pigs and they too love it. Some jamaicans use it to make breadfruit pudding and breadfruit juice, not me though. I'm good with it just roasted, fried or boiled.
We roast it or fry breadfruit and add salt to season it. Some ppl also steam it.
Ok thank you for this 👌🏽
Thanks bro!
Dude you made my night haha thank you so much i really appreciate you Craig 👌🏽🫡
The parish is so green
It’s beautiful
Actually the best jerk chicken and festival i tasted was in the town, evening time near the car park under a tent like set up
I will search for this place in town next time I’m around 👌🏽
Just salt we normally put on the breadfruit it can eat 2 ways roast or fry. There is even a song bout breadfruit done by the musician named ching ching and the name of the song is breadfruit check it on TH-cam
Okay thank you for this!
You could eat it dry or with gallons of gravy or sauce. You need to try it fried 😋
I will tried fried next
You got a serious sun tan. Don’t forget that sunscreen.
Haha everyone’s so worried about it!! I’ll go buy some thank you 👌🏽
Bro u really did get darker by few shades :))) that sun is brutal ehh
Lmfao the island sun does something different to me i swear
@@PoJoTheBackPacker I see that 😅
Big up Chucky!!! RIP😢
🙏🏽
Love breadfruit. What saved Europe from famine if I’m not mistaken
That’s crazy lol
@@PoJoTheBackPacker I believe what they brought was from Asia and the British ports in Caribbean transferred to Europe. I think how it came to Jamaica but don’t quote me on that. Mutiny on the bounty is famous movie depicting it
One thing with Island people it always amuses me now human body gets used to temperature climate notice he's sweating like crazy while all the Jamaicans aren't they chilling 😂😂this also another way how island people can figure out tourist 😂the way your skin reacts 😂even the whitest Jamaican skin gets red but not crazy red in sun like the Americans 😂
I do this everywhere i go lol
For me, really good jerk doesn't need sauce, as in it is juicy enough 😋 I eat the breadfruit plain, it's delicious!
Yea that chicken didn’t need the sauce but i don’t use it for the pork so i had to make up for it lol
We put salt on the breadfruit. I prefer fried breadfruit but roast is good too. 😊
@@Keri-Ann.Gomes29 i like fried
Probably it's the camera. A lot of Jamaicans especially men. Don't like cameras.they Think you're being exposing them, but you probably need to explain who you are and they will interact with you more. But I like my breadfruit, roast, fry and boil, and you have to drink The breadfruit will choke you😮
That’s 100% true i will try that method next time lol
🔥🔥
Thank you my bro
Po'Jo a lot of Jamaicans🇯🇲 don't eat pork for religious reasons mostly. The pork and the chicken should be separated on the fire.
Okay this was the best response i got on this. Interesting about the religion i thought the only religion that didn’t eat pork was Muslim? But the more you know. Thank you for sharing this comment with me i will do my research 👌🏽
@@PoJoTheBackPackerRastafarians, Seven day Adventist and a few others don't eat pork. Most places that sell stew peas meals also cook the stews separately, 1 with pork (and sometimes beef) and without pork usually beef.
@@deidrehector3643 yo that’s crazy that’s actually super interesting
❤
Beautiful 😍 ❤ 👀 where ur sunscreen at ?
At the store 👌🏽
Boston is in Portland, the capital of Portland is Port Antonio.
Thanks
The video was too short I wanted more content. The first guy should have offered the sauce. These people have zero customer service skills, they are not even trying to upsell you lol, do you wanna try our sausage lol. I personally like jerk barbecue. You tan very well. I love scotch bonnet pepper in everything. You need a drink to wash it down with like a Ting Soda, which they should have also offered you!?
I had a drink on the side of the camera 👌🏽
@@PoJoTheBackPacker oh ok what was it? did you try a Red Stripe beer?
@@MikaMile-tp3kp i use a gopro 12. And nope no alc for me
In my youth we put butter on roasted breadfruit.
I could get behind that 🫡
Normally a little Ketchup on the chicken is what is required as the spices used to season it is sufficient. The Ketchup balances things out.
Ay but i don’t like ketchup lamo
@@PoJoTheBackPacker , I get it.
Boston jerk festival will be on the 7th of July, that day you get everything jerk 💯
Bro are you serious ?
@PoJoTheBackPacker yes bro it's gonna be dope bro
@@PoJoTheBackPacker
Are you going to be in Jamaica to be able to attend that event?
@@PoJoTheBackPacker
Are you going to be there to attend the event PoJo?
You can eat the breadfruit like that with a lil salt but I rather it fried wit ackee and saltfish 🤤
I will have it fried next time 👌🏽
At the start of the video where the goat was eating it's not mango its breadfruit..the same thing your eating..... it can be fried with salt on it very nice that way
Ok sorry for thinking it was a mango
You should have been given some ketchup with the hot sauce. That will mello the heat a bit, plus make things a bit more moist.
To be honest with you ketchup would have made it taste worse for me. I’ve actually only had ketchup one time my life just not for me
How much was dee Jerk pork and festival and dee Jerk chicken?
I think first meal was 1500 cuz i got a drink second meal i think 1000-1200
You eat the breadfruit with the meat like how you do with the festival
I did not know this thank you for the information
Ive been there three times and to be honest I don't like the roughness of how they treat people. No customer service at all, and they will try to overcharge. The only person ill buy from is the young rasta selling natural juices. Im glad you enjoyed it. Portland is nice.
😂 yea these places had the price on the menu so i was okay. And as far as the customer service i don’t know I’m different it would be NICE if someone was friendly when purchasing but where im from people are rude everyday so i don’t expect much from anyone anywhere i am lol. All in all it was good.. i missed the juices but no worries im going to double back around all of Jamaica and go to the juice spot next time 👌🏽
@@PoJoTheBackPacker 👍
That festival so good made you pound your chest. 😅 Way too much scotch bonet bruh. Ask for some jerk sauce instead next time. Your melatonin is soaking up all that jamaican sun my brother. How you handling the heat and humidity?
Lmfao you peeped that?!? My mouth was on fire it was absolutely ridiculous i swear! I love festival it’s my favorite side honestly. Yea imma ask for the jerk sauce next time too.. the heat for me honestly is fine I’m from Miami so the humidity in Miami is worse i don’t feel humidity here i don’t think.. i feel it’s more of dry heat kind of like but the sun BEATS like it’s HOT HOT HOT as hell outside!!! But I’m not hating it i enjoy it very much!
try Jamaican Indian and Chinese Food
Do you have any place you suggest? I just saw this the other day Chinese Jamaican food lol i already know that’s got to be fire
Yea bro yuu need too
@@PoJoTheBackPacker
The best Chinese food I ever had growing up in JA was on Old Hope Road but they’re all gone. 🥲 Haven’t been able to spend time traveling around to scope out the new Chinese restaurants. I had been gone from JA for 20 years when I finally visited in 2023.
I prefer my breadfruit fry with a little salt 😊
Copy that i will try this next time!
Some Jamaicans put salt on the breadfruit. But it's fine without the salt
I will try it with the salt
Po Jo first and 2 things, 1 you walk in a place with a camera the place going to be tense, try introducing your Channel and see things becomes, 2 Breadfruit is like Bread in a Fruit most People eat it and whatever meat your eating together and the meat will compliment it.
I will use these tips next time!
They need to use separate disposable forks for that jerk sauce
Lol
I usually add ketchup to my jerk chicken just as good as I don’t like hot sauce
No ketchup for me lol
Bro. No you eat breadfruit with other proteins. I like my breadfruit fried. My grandparents liked theirs boiled which it was a hit or miss for me.
Everyone seems to like it fried so imma try this 👌🏽
@@PoJoTheBackPacker
It’s better when it’s freshly fried when the outside of each slice is crispy. Mmmmm yum 🤤
Fry the breadfruit and put salt on it
Okay i will do this 👌🏽
I’m surprised they didn’t give you a jerk sauce with it.
Maybe i should have asked sometimes i get shy and intimidated to ask things lol
Why you werent gaven a box for the food i can eat at these places dont looks clean
Watch out for the street food. No sanitary conditions, and there are some problems. With e. Coli.
Don’t tell me that 😂😂😂
That’s it I’m done with street food
It is said to be the original pork spot
Yes that’s what i read
We put salt on fried breadfruit....
Okay thank you for this 👌🏽
Breadfruit from Asia
Ok i will do this 👌🏽
Interesting 👌🏽
From the pacific islands not asia
The British Captain Cook discovered breadfruit on Tahiti, and his description of the fruit caught the public's imagination back home in England. The first tree in Jamaica was brought to the island from Tahiti by Captain William Bligh in 1793 on the ship HMS Providence.
@@MikaMile-tp3kp that’s crazy now it’s everywhere lol
$1,500 for Quater Pound.Wow.I usto pay $1,500 for a Pound & a quater.
I'm from Portland.
Respect
Breadfruit is pana
Breadfruit eats better fried 🔥
I will have it fried next time 👌🏽
🙌🏾👌🏾🤎🤎🤎
Was so good 👌🏽
@@PoJoTheBackPacker I once lived in Jamaica and have never been to most places there... this place looks good though 🙂
You won’t find food like that back home. If you’ve never been to Jamaica you would not know what the food there is like. You can’t find anything like it outside of Jamaica
Not even on the streets of New York? Come on got to be someone lol
@@PoJoTheBackPacker
You’ll find REALLY good Jamaican food in NY, FL, and even in TX. You just won’t find everything. You can find the roast breadfruit frozen in some Korean supermarkets in Westchester County NY. South Koreans really cater to a variety of cultures. In NY city, especially Brooklyn and the Bronx, you’ll find a lot of Jamaican food and groceries. Same in Florida.
You can find it but it wont be fresh@PoJoTheBackPacker
I am jamaican and I cannot eat that pepper sauce
It was unbelievably hot I’ll never do it again haha
Loool. Gotta put some Ketchup with it on the side and just dabble with it. Mek sure u have drinking water with u tho😂
@@Zae_Milli copy that 👌🏽
Ppl wear sunscreen blk ppl need protection to
I will purchase some!
Do u have a tripod for ur 📷 or body cam alot of trying hold the 📷 I know u r backpacking will stay in a resort and film?
@@88gyalchloe no i won’t be going to any resorts it’s not my type of thing. I use a gopro with a tripod 👌🏽
If it wasn’t for your accent no one would know you are not a native Jamaican you have the colour from being in the sun.
😂😂 i was told i look like a local i don’t think so but ill take it i get the local price 😂
@@PoJoTheBackPacker sorry no local price that does not exist.
Do have a safe journey home wherever home is I am in Florida but born Jamaican Peace and Love Bro.
Make sure you're wearing sunscreen bro
Yes i got to get some
No gloves!
At all!
