Older generation Jamaicans are most times stuck in their conventional methods of preparing food. Before all the technology and prepared foods became available for purchase, they made their meals from scratch. They sometimes had to pre-prepare some raw ingredients before making the final meal and in some cases they had a specific method of cooking certain food . They believe these methods give to the final dish a more authentic flavour and adds the true meaning of homecook to a meal.
I am sure there are some cooking hacks that would make your grandparents turn up their nose. Below I’ll share a few.
Coconut milk is probably the most controversial of these. Back in the days coconut milk was prepared through a long and tedious process which included finely grating the coconut first. Hot water would then be added to the grated coconut, juiced and then strained. As technology improved, the size of the grated coconut was not a major issue, as the coconut could then be blended with hot water and strained. Even this method was acceptable back then. What will rattle the nerve of an older Jamaican now is preprocessed coconut milk in cans. They believe the flavor from the raw coconut milk is not the same as this processed alternative.
A lot of younger generation Jamaicans, may never know how to make Jerk sauce/seasoning from scratch as most people purchased the prepared jar from the supermarket. For older folks this is unheard of. For them, there is nothing more satisfying than making your own jerk sauce and to be able to personalize the recipe to their liking. So they would blend their onions, scotch bonnet peppers, thyme, garlic, scallions etc and any other ingredient they think will add “spice & flavour” to their sauce.
Whether it be gungo or red peas for dinner tomorrow, the tradition would be to soak the peas overnight, a process that helps reduce cooking time as the peas are softened. As generations change and in a bid to “reduce cooking time further” the pressure pot would be used and so it would not be necessary to soak peas overnight. And even with more modern day changes, canned Gungo and Red Peas became a thing; a thing older folks may never accept.
If you grew up with a grandparent or visited rural Jamaica, you would have known what a coal pot/stove is or how to make an open (wood) fire in the yard. You would have known that roast breadfruit is not “roast breadfruit” if it was not cooked via this manner. You also could say that roasting a breadfruit on a coal stove or open fire, gives a different flavour than when roasted in an oven; just ask your grandparents!
I can clearly remember my grandmother preparing to make that soul touching flavourful sweet potato pudding. She would get up early on a Sunday morning and have my cousins and I, grate/blend the coconut to make the coconut milk and also grate the potatoes for the pudding. I am absolutely sure that she would never agree with me blending the coconut to make the milk then using the coconut milk to blend the potatoes to make the pudding. I also am sure a lot of older folks would never agree to this method as well.

Passengers from Guyana and several other Caribbean nations have complained about lengthy flight delays which, in some cases, forced them to cancel flights with interCaribbean Airways.
And Director-General of the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) Lieutenant Colonel (Ret’d) Egbert Field on Friday confirmed that complaints have been lodged with his body.
“The Authority is looking at it, we’ve spoken to interCaribbean about the comments and complaints we’ve received and are awaiting a response from them,” Field told the News Room on Friday.
He added that “numerous complaints” were received.
It is expected that interCaribbean will respond by next week, Mr. Field said.
Meanwhile, the airline responded to some of the concerns raised via a release posted to its Facebook page on July 20.
“Over the past week, interCaribbean has experienced a number of interruptions that have caused frustration and inconvenience for passengers across the network.
“Due to unforeseen temporary staffing issues, it will likely take a few additional days for schedules to return to normal,” the release stated.
It also acknowledged that punctuality is a “key component” in air travel and as such, interCaribbean Airways promised to mitigate future disruptions.
The company’s Founder and Chairman Lyndon Gardiner also offered comments on the issue in the release.
He said, “While flight disruptions are not unusual with any airline, we take responsibility for the situation and are working to improve customer service and communications.
“… During these difficult times, we kindly request that our passengers show understanding and patience towards our front-line ambassadors who are working tirelessly to assist you. Our team is doing everything possible to meet your needs and ensure your safety and comfort during your journeys.”
