Bammy

Bammy is one of Jamaica's oldest foods, dating back to the indigenous Taino people who inhabited the island long before European contact. Made from grated cassava that is pressed to remove the toxic juices, formed into flat cakes, and dried, bammy is then soaked in coconut milk and fried before serving. The result is a dense, chewy flatbread with a subtle sweetness that pairs beautifully with fried fish.
