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.
