I have had "Oil Down" before when some University students from Grenada came to Jamaica one summer, and we had a nice send off when they were returning home, it was so delicious. I loved it. I have never seen it cooked before, but I hope to make it in the future. In that same send off, the Trinidadian students cooked 'Pelau', which was also very delicious. That summer school was the best ever! We had so much fun, eating different meals from the Caribbean, and dancing to different Caribbean music etc. It was a blast! Love my Caribbean brothers and sisters, the culture, the music and the food.

Hello I visted a community called Effort in Clarendon Jamaica many years ago. They cooked yam and other ground provisions in a huge pot and it was flavoured with corned pork and coconut milk. I guess that was the Jamaican version of the Grenadian Oil Down. I cant remember what they called it but it was tasty. I remember meeting a Grenadian friend on mission to Haiti. She called Oil Down a work of art. I would definitly agree with all that went into the pot. Keep our culture alive through food.

There’s nothing quite like oil down. It is indeed a work of art. Many islands throughout the Caribbean have similar dishes, but none are quite the same. In fact, even in Grenada many people do it a bit differently. Nonetheless it’s a magnificent dish.

Thanks a lot, now I’ll have to find a Grenadian restaurant here in NYC. Most likely in Brooklyn or Queens. One love from NYC.

Yes for sure. Give it a try. And maybe you can even try the recipe one day when you’re feeling a bit adventurous.

It’s also a Trini dish so check our restaurants in NYC. We all have breadfruit. I miss it here in California. I’m going to check on Hawaiian shops. That’s where I find calloloo. We do get great crab as well.
This is the first time I've ever seen oil down done this way. I am so happy that I finally got to watch this video. Will definitely try this recipe. Thanks so much for sharing!!!

Yes you were very late to the party but definitely better late than never. I think everyone does it a bit differently but it came out really really well. You’ll let me know when you try the recipe.

We call in run down in Jamaica but we don’t put any vegetables in it. We cook it with salt fish or salt mackerel. We don’t call it gut we call it the heart of the breadfruit 🇯🇲

Yeah we have a lot of similarities between the islands yet we maintain some differences. A lot of people have drawn the similarity between oil down and run down. I’d like to try run down one day.

Yes we do have a version of this. Maybe you are too young to know it. You cook down the ground provisions into the coconut milk with salt fish. You should try it.
