The pâté is made with smoked red herring (although other fish such as mackerel and shad are also sometimes used[1]) and is minced and spiced with Scotch Bonnet peppers and seasonings.[2] The dish appears on the menus of Jamaican restaurants and resorts.[3] It is also sold as a packaged food for export.[4]
The term may come from the British word salmagundi, used to refer to a salad of many different ingredients. That term is originally from the French word salmigondis, which refers to a disparate assembly of things, ideas, or people forming an incoherent whole (ahodgepodge).[5]
