“Pumpkin Everythang”
Pumpkin is such a widely used vegetable here in Jamaica; I’ve
had pumpkin dumplings, fritters, rice, curry pumpkin, in steamed fish and foil
roasted fish. You name it and pumpkin has been there. Now when it comes to
soup, there is no way one can make any soup here, without the addition of
pumpkin. It’s almost unheard of, an unwritten Jamaican rule. So much so that to
make the task of having a pumpkin soup quicker a number of companies most
notably Grace, makes a pumpkin soup sachet. The other day I saw a pumpkin and
beef and a pumpkin and chicken flavor too; I chuckled.
