You may remember Vanessa A. Williams from shows like Melrose Place and Soulfood.

Last month she attended the Caribbean Fashion Week and spoke to the Jamaica Gleaner about her favorite Jamaican veggie dishes.

“My favourite Jamaican foods are ackee and callaloo. I am a vegan, so I don’t eat saltfish. During my visit, I am, looking forward to plantain, rice and peas and, of course, ackee and callaloo. I even stopped at a vegetarian restaurant after I landed to get ackee but they did not have it, so I am definitely going back to get it before I leave.”

Besides talking veggie, she also mentioned she loves her “skinny jeans” and can’t do without earrings.
