Both sweet and savory dishes can be found served for breakfast in Jamaica. Porridge is a common filling breakfast food made with a base of grated banana or plantain simmered with milk, vanilla, and sweetener until smooth and creamy. Jamaicans also cook their national dish of ackee and saltfish for breakfast. Ackee is a tropical fruit in the same family as the lychee that is cooked with fish (often cod) with scotch bonnet peppers, tomato, garlic, and other peppers. Yum
