...some food questions please?
I've just got a Caribbean cookbook and I want to try loads of the recipes but I am unsure about what typically goes with what and the book doesn't say.
What would you typically serve with jerk chicken? Rice and peas? Macaroni cheese? There's a recipe for a jerk chicken gravy but is this always considered essential or would it usually be served dry, with salads etc, like barbecued chicken? Apart from rice or macaroni, what sides would you have with it for a complete meal?
Fried plantains: I've just fried one and eaten it with salt to try it out, but how would they typically be seasoned and what would you eat them with? Curries or stews? On their own like a hot finger food? I have no idea and the book doesn't tell me. The recipe is literally just how to fry a plain plantain.
Also I have questions about all the little breads and dumplings. I get that rotis will go with curries, but what about doubles, johnny cakes, festivals, bakes and coco bread? Some of them it's hard to see much difference, the recipes are very similar. How and when would each of them typically be eaten and with what, please? Hot or cold? With sweet or savoury? On their own, filled with stuff, like a bread roll, or eaten with stews and curries like a dumpling, or a naan? 
TIA! Much appreciated.
