Jamaican Sunday dinners are a renowned tradition kept by Jamaican even if they have migrated to other countries. The Jamaican Sunday dinner is characterized by the traditional main course of any Jamaican chicken recipe and the famous Jamaican rice & peas recipe. Get Jamaica has investigated what are the heritage and the tradition of the Jamaican Sunday dinner and found that it goes as far back as the early 1700’s.

The Sunday dinner was actually a British tradition that was adopted by afro-Jamaicans. On particular sugar plantations the master would send leftovers from their Sunday dinners to the slaves. These leftovers were at times enough to feed an entire family three or four times for the week. This practice was carried on when slaves were freed and moved off the plantation. The slaves prepared grand meals on Sunday evenings in an attempt to mimic their slavers before.

Jamaican Sunday dinners are usually focused on the main course, individuals will title dinners as a fish Sunday dinner or a chicken Jamaica Sunday dinner. Undoubtedly the most popular dinner is the Jamaican Sunday Chicken dinner recipe. This dinner recipe is undoubtedly used by most Jamaican homemakers on Sundays; however there are several other less orthodox recipes that are used by chefs and cooks across the island. Get Jamaica has listed five of the more popular main course Jamaican recipes in our Jamaican Sunday dinner menus.

The most neglected aspect of the Jamaican Sunday dinner is the side dishes. Usually the main one is rice and peas and a healthily serving of gravy. However over the years Jamaican cooks and chefs have become more ingenious about what they prepare as side dishes for Jamaican Sunday dinners. Using most of Jamaica’s staple foods such as Jamaican green bananas, Jamaican cassava, Jamaican potatoes, Jamaican callaloo, Jamaican breadfruits, Jamaican yams and even Jamaican cauliflowers are some of the great and new trademark Jamaican recipes. Coupled with the main course and side dishes, some Jamaican homemakers make it there point of duty to prepare appetizers and desserts. If the Jamaican Sunday dinner main course is the gala of almost all Jamaican dinner recipes then the Sunday dinner appetizers and desserts are no different. These are also built on great tasting Jamaican appetizers and desserts.
