Here in Miami I constantly get my fix of jerk chicken, jerk pork, and oxtail with rice and peas...got me some real good restaurants down here!
On one of my trips to Jamaica, I stopped by this popular food stand (don't know the name) and asked for jerk chicken and the guy started talking smack about how hot it was and treating me like a newbie to jerk.
To show him up, I said "Not only do I want the Jerk chicken, put more sauce". He obliged while kinda chuckling with his buddies. Then I asked him to pour some more sauce. The guy was wide eyed now "Mon, this is very hot, you sure you know what you doing?" as he poured some more. After he stopped I was like "You know what, give me a little more sauce" That guy started tripping out to some of the others there ..."Mon, he crazy mon! I don't eat that much jerk! This mon don't wanna live!"
And just to show him up....I started eating right there in front of him. I felt the effects coming on....my nose was starting to get runny....I continued and talked some smack. I pushed on, 'damn I feel hot' as I started to sweat. "You wanna drink mon? You turning colors" he asked. In the guys defense, that was some of the spiciest jerk Ive eaten! I turned him down, accepted my kudos and walked away. I was a mess LOL My eyes were watering like FULL waterworks, my nose wouldn't stop running, and my mouth felt so hot it would burst a thermometer.
To date that was the best jerk I've had! It was so delicious but omg was it hot
