The UK Subway Reggae Reggae Sub is advertised on TV as coming with spicy
*hot* Reggae Reggae BBG/Jerk sauce. But, strangely, on TV, the person
ordering declines Jalapeño peppers as if they're the work of the devil
himself!

Surely someone who orders a Reggae Reggae BBG/Jerk sauce Sub would be a
chili head and *want* Jalapeño peppers?

Or am I missing something...

You're missing something. They don't use jalapenos in Jamaica, mon.
Especially not the pickled crap they serve at restaurants and on
nachos (or "nachoes" in honor of Jerry).

Now, are you done with the the low-IQ trolling of these three groups
yet? AFF-F could always use another punching bag or two if you stick
around.

I'm sure Jamaicans don't have Subway Subs!

You're missing something, again. Jamaicans *do* have Subway subs.
There are three Subway outlets in Kingston, Jamaica.

I would not be surprised if the 'UK Subway Reggae Reggae Sub'
originated in one of those outlets. However, it is not included in
their current menu which can be found he

Jamaican recipes would normally use Scotch Bonnet peppers to add heat.
Jalapeno chillies are a reasonable substitute, albeit a comparatively
mild one, that is already routinely available in UK Subway outlets.
That probably explains their inclusion.

The basis for genuine Jamaican jerk seasoning is allspice, or the
dried fruit of the Jamaican pimento plant. The pimento plant is
uniquely Jamaican - it is hardly grown anywhere else. Don't confuse
it with the Cherry Pepper, also called pimento, or pimiento, which is
often used to stuff olives and is a long way down the scale of heat!

The correct, traditional Jamaican way to season meat, originally pork
but now including chicken, pork and beef, is to smoke the meat over a
fire made with the wood of the allspice plants. In my opinion, the
best jerk is still made this way.

However, the flavour can also be obtained by rubbing dry allspice into
the meat, and this is now the more common method. The meat is slow
cooked over charcoal (sometimes with chipped allspice wood added) in
an oil drum that is split in two longitudinally and placed on its side
on a stand. The lower half of the oil drum contains the charcoal and
carries a grill frame, the upper half acting as a lid.

The spice applied can either be 100% allspice (my favourite) or can
include a mix of other spices such as cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and
garlic. In my opinion, there is no need to adulterate the original
recipe as the complex flavours of allspice (which give it its name)
are more then enough, and already include strong hints of the other
named spices in any case.

More recently, fast food has been a strong trend in Jamaica, and the
slow speed of more traditional forms of jerk cuisine is a hindrance.
So a faster method has been developed using a jerk marinade, which is
smothered onto the meat before cooking over charcoal or in a
commercial oven. Jamaican branches of KFC offer jerk chicken made
this way. Much of the UK's "Jamaican jerk chicken" is also made the
same way, and although I am a fan of the more traditional methods, I
have to admit that jerk chicken made with a marinade tastes superb.

Real Jamaican jerk seasoning can be purchased in shops that serve the
Jamaican expatriate community. I buy my Jamaican spices (and some
particularly delicious cooked chicken) in Harlesden, London, and eat
in Jamaican cafes in both Harlesden and Shepherd's Bush.

Just because you can't answer someone's question to their satisfaction
(like Bruce did in his reply) doesn't mean you can accused them of
low-IQ trolling

Wow! Subway gets everywhere.
