look behind u

im sure they will want some ackee and saltfish, callaloo (steamed greens) plaintain, dumpling (fried or boiled) breadfruit, green banana, coconut, yellow or white yam, fried chicken, potato etc. the best thing is to ask your wife to help you make the best decision esp. when it comes on to what they are accostomed to eating.

Ask your wife to assist you in preparing the meals, you both will teach each other your individual taste.
Jamaicans are accustom to fresh fruits and vegetables, canned foods may not be as appetizing to them. Our foods are also spicy.
You didn't say where you're from.

Don't worry about a thing,
cause every little thing,
is gonna be alright.
Bless up.

Jamaican people have a very different diet and unusual spices. They eat a lot of fish, use spices like curry and use fruit in many dishes, especially coconut. Try some of the recipes that are included in the link I provide. Make it a game thing and ask the children which foods they'd like.As a cook myself, I notice you don't mention that you make things like salad or veggies.

start cooking more chicken, beef and pork maybe. Rice and peas, fry fish and all tipes of curry- shrimp, goat etc. meatloaf and macaroni ain't gonna do it.. just learn some new dishes.

You know the best thing to do is simply ask them what they like. However, Jamaican cooking is easy to learn so the best thing to do is ask your wife to show you. Not every Jamaican likes all the Jamaican food thats around so don't go buying everything they sell an the market!
Jamaican kids eat different from English kids, and vise-versa. Its all new so enjoy your life together don't sweat your self over food, just ask them what they like and ask them to show you how to cook it.
If that fails ALL kids love ice-cream!!! lol

You need to let her cook and purchase the Jamaican ingredients. You will soon find that their diet is rich in veggies and protein, go with it and let her cook!
