Jerk

[CraigC]

Ah, that spicy paste created in Jamaica! What ya think mon?

 

[Morning Glory]

As quoted in how-to-cook-perfect-jerk-chicken:

The New York Times reckons that "jerk is so ingrained in Jamaican cooks that the notion of getting a recipe is entertaining, something like asking a midwesterner for a hamburger recipe".

There are probably so many variations... but allspice is a key ingredient I think. And that is no bad thing as I reckon its a very underused spice.
