Cooking For My Carribean Boyfriend???!

Cooking For My Carribean Boyfriend???

I'm hispanic, and therefore am clueless on what to cook for my BF. He's Jamaican and has his idea of what found should and shouldn't taste like based on his culture. We don't really agree much on what tastes good either. I love steak, and seafood. He doesn't like steak at all, and only tolerates seafood. He likes pork, and chicken though. The problem is my entire life I've cooked foods that he doesn't like.
I've been wanting to cook him something for a "Just Becuase" day, and I don't know what to make, or HOW to make it.

So my question is.... What foods does the average carribean/ Jamacain man like? ANd how do you make it, if you can describe that aswell. If not, just drop the names.

If you just know of some really great spicy recipes drop an answer too please =)

I am a former chef and worked for a time in Jamaica, and I eat at or from a Jamaican or West Indian place once a week here in Toronto Canada.

Most Jamaicans and other British based West Indians men, like a good curry, starchy veg like cassava, and all the yams, plantains. Rice and peas, more rice with spices and kidney beans added at the end.

Stewed meats, spicy foods are a must, and with either the scotch bonnet pepper or Habenero you have the heat taken care of. Try a curried chicken with a rice and peas side, fried plantains and most jamaican men love a nice pot of stewed greens either callalo or a combination of kale, spinach, collards and cabbage, cooked with a bit of bacon or fat pork.

It is similar to type of food in Puerto Rico, and try to find any similar dishes, things with coconut, spicy foods and a good balance of flavours is a good way to make him happy.
