Caribbean / Jamaican Individually-Packaged Meals Catering
Caribbean and Jamaican cuisine is rich and flavorful, with dishes that reflect the region's history and influences from around the world. Native ingredients like scotch bonnet peppers, sweet potatoes, cassava roots, and more have been transformed by Spanish, West African, Indian, and East Asian influences over the centuries. Today, Caribbean cuisine is known for its spicy flavors, although other nearby islands like Puerto Rico and Cuba tend to be milder in taste. Whether it's jerk chicken or oxtail beef, there's something for everyone to enjoy in this vibrant culinary tradition. You and your team can enjoy this kaleidoscope of flavors from the comfort of your own office with individually-packaged Caribbean and Jamaican meals that are sure to satisfy even the most adventurous palates!

Best Practices and Tips when Ordering Caribbean / Jamaican Individually-Packaged Meals
If you're looking for a truly authentic Caribbean/Jamaican dining experience, then be prepared to get messy! Traditional dishes like jerk chicken, curry chicken and oxtail beef are usually served with the bones still in, so be sure to request extra napkins! And remember, each restaurant has its own unique way of preparing signature dishes like curry chicken - one might use a dry rub while another might make it more stew-like with lots of sauce. So definitely explore different restaurants to find your favorite but don't expect different restaurants to prepare each dish exactly the same way!
What can I expect from Caribbean and Jamaican cuisine?
When it comes to Caribbean and Jamaican cuisine, spice is definitely the star of the show. If you're not a fan of spice, no worries - rice, vegetables and roti are typically served alongside the spicier dishes to help balance things out. Just be sure to let your guests know if they can expect any fiery flavors in their meal!
How much should I order?
Fortunately, individually-packaged meals are portioned to be the perfect size for one person. But if you're worried that your guests might have a large appetite, you can always add additional sides. We also recommend ordering a couple of extra individually-packaged meals because you never know who might decide to pop in the office unexpected!

What goes well with Caribbean / Jamaican Individually-Packaged Meals?

But if you'd like to order additional sides for your whole group, the most popular sides are plantains, steamed vegetables, mac and cheese, and rice and peas. Keep in mind that in most cases, "peas" refers to red kidney beans, not what most of us think of as peas!
