/Sounds like "hah-meh-AHR"/

A Peruvian, Venezuelan, and Caribbean verb meaning to eat with gusto, devour a good meal. "Vamos a jamear" means let's go eat seriously. Comes from "jama" (food) turned into a verb. Used without ceremony, casually: when someone proposes jamear, it's understood as a full meal with pleasure, not a snack. A word that survives across several generations of Peruvians and Caribbeans.

Example

"Vamos a jamear al chifa. → Let's go eat at the chifa."

"Jameamos bien rico anoche. → We ate really well last night."
