The Story of Bammy:

Bammy (also spelled bammie) is one of Jamaica's oldest foods, created by the indigenous Arawak people long before European contact.

Today, it remains a beloved part of Jamaican cuisine, especially popular as an accompaniment to fried fish - a combination that's been enjoyed for generations.
