Jamaica
Jamaican food runs far deeper than the resort buffet suggests: jerk chicken smoked over pimento wood, ackee and saltfish at breakfast, escovitch fish sharp with vinegar and Scotch bonnet.

About this place
The pilgrimage is Boston Bay near Port Antonio, where jerk was born and the smoke never stops. Skip the all-inclusive package entirely — book a guesthouse on the quieter east coast and eat at roadside pans, where the island actually cooks.
