Also known as pimento, the allspice berry has a flavour that resembles the flavour combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. It is often used in Jamaican or Spanish cuisine such as Jerked meats like pork, chicken and goat. Allspice is also often found in European cooking in marinades and pickling as well as in cakes, fruit pies, puddings and ice cream.
