Chapter 18 : Jamaica

One region we had not gotten to yet was the Caribbean. Jamaica seemed the best place to start. The cuisine of this little island is wonderful, a blend of America, Central American, African, and Indian that is unique.

Scotch Bonnet Pepper

The Scotch Bonnet Pepper is easily ignored. Its cousin, the Habenero, made its way to America and Mexico from Cuba. Nearly identical, the bright orange Scotch Bonnet Pepper is equally hot, but far more flavorful.

You can replace it with Habenero, and the flavor will be close enough, but still far less wonderful.
