If you fancy trying Caribbean food and you're near Sheffield, visit Yabba! Don't be put off by the shop next door:
They sell a range of Caribbean seasonings and sauces, such as Coconut Rundown Sauce and unusual pickles and chutneys like Cho Cho & Aubergine Pickle or Red Sorrel Chutney and Spiced Sweet Potato Marmalade. They also have a range of no added sugar products.

You can buy Peanut Drops:
Or Coconut Drops:
You can try meals like Curried Goat, Bream Fish, Jerk Chicken, or Callaloo and Saltfish:
We tried Ackee, which they told me was the national dish of Jamaica. It's difficult to describe it's taste, - it reminded me of scrambled eggs and advocado pear! After I'd tried it, I read about Ackee poisoning but happily they must know what they're doing at Yabba and I wasn't affected!
You can also buy some items online and there's also traditional Carribean recipes on their website.
