Best Rice and Peas I've had — and I've tried a few

Having eaten Rice and Peas at several restaurants over the past year, I can say this version is the best. The boldly spiced quality is more pronounced here than anywhere else I've tried. scotch bonnet is handled with real knowledge — you can taste the difference.

This is proper a roadside rum bar cooking, not an adaptation for foreign tastes. Red Stripe beer was the obvious choice and the combination was perfect. Jamaican jerk cooking traces to the Maroon communities who preserved meat with allspice and chilli. Would return for this dish alone.
