What festival actually is

A cornmeal and flour dough, lightly sweetened, rolled long and fried. Not a doughnut, not a bread roll: somewhere purposefully in between.

How to eat it

Tear, then dip in jerk sauce or oxtail gravy. It is a vehicle, and a very good one.

How we cook it

Lightly sweet, crisp at the edges and soft inside — made to be torn and dipped.

Feeding a crowd

Festival scales beautifully for events and is the side guests remember at a Live Jerk Grill. Catering.
