📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Festival is a Jamaican fried bread: a dough of cornmeal and flour with sugar and vanilla, shaped into long pieces and fried. Crisp outside and soft and sweet inside, it's always served alongside jerk chicken and escovitch fish at stalls and seaside shops.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a seaside jerk shack in Jamaica, long fried dumplings come out of the oil behind the charcoal smoke and land on paper plates with fish and chicken.
