Jamaica has plenty of fruits and it uses them even in appetizer recipe. Papaya is used in Papaya Ice Cream Patch, while bananas represent the main ingredient of Banana Fritters, and Banana Porridge. The appetizers have a very important role in the Jamaican cuisine, as they have a great role all over the world. The only difference is that here the spices are used in low quantities and sweet appetizers seem to predominate. These too increase the appetite.
