July 25, 2017 15:04Visitors to Jamaica who want to keep kosher can now enjoy a vegetarian version of the local speciality — jerk-spiced food — at the newly opened Kosher Hot Spot.
Chabad of Jamaica launched the cosy eatery, which seats 16, earlier this month. According to Rabbi Yaakov Raskin, of Chabad of Jamaica, “This is the moment Montego Bay — and really, Jamaica — has been waiting for.”
On the (parev) menu will be Israeli and Jamaican falafel — in a pita sandwich or salad; french fries (with various spice options) and tehina. Rabbi Raskin explains that Jamaican falafel is made with jerk seasoning, which is packed with all spice and hot chillies.
