Yesterday while wrapping up a show at the mango ranch restaurant and sports bar in kingston, i saw a rastaman walking by with one of my favourite snacks a peanut cake. While this cake is not actually baked in an oven but rather done by, boiling the peanuts in sugar and water usually along with a hint of ginger untill the mixture thickens and begin to caramelize. After the mixture thickens the heat is removed and spoonfuls seperated to cool and form small some what hard cakes more like a candy texture and appeal. A sweet savoury delite enjoyed by many persons througout the jamaican society. Peanut cakes can be found almost anywhere in jamaica more easily found however on the street sides or inside bus parks. Try some if you have'nt already p.s. The ones on the street side usually taste best.
