Jamaician food is something very delicious, the Jamaican cuisine ia a mixture of cooking techniques, flavours, spices and influences from the indigenous people on the island of Jamaica, and the Spanish, British, Africans, Indian, American and Chinese who have inhabited the island. One of the current popular dishes in Jamaica is Brown stew chicken, also referred to as stew chicken. The dish is called brown because of the distinct dark colour of the dish. The colour is achieved by browning the chicken in brown sugar, which creates a rich gravy to which main vegetable components like onions, garlic and carrots are added. This dish is often eaten with french fries.
