That way the flavor permeates the meat. I've been to Boston Bay and had it, and it's total bliss. And it's also Jamaica. I was standing on line to put in my order and a guy came up and asked me if I wanted a soda. J$1.00 for a can. I said no. Got my order, took a bite, and the offer suddenly turned into a need. I saw the guy and waved him over. Soda: J$4.00. Ah, but it’s not *really* jerked unless it’s cooked over an allspice-wood fire. That way the flavor permeates the meat.
