>make Jamaican beef patties
>everyone at work loves them
>the only Jamaican guy says I put too much curry and they are not authentic
How exactly am i supposed to make authentic ethnic foods if I'm not from there?
>make Jamaican beef patties. >everyone at work loves them
This never happened. Why do incels of Culinaly make up these fantastic stories in their heads of how they've been wronged by ethnic minorities?
It's the incel equivalent of getting likes on a selfie
I guess a reasonable person would aks the jamaican for advice on how to improve, perhaps even his momma's recipe
Jamaica is a shithole. Use rotten meat, the cheapest ingredients and be as unhygienic as possible if you want to be "authentic".
Beat him until he tends the sugarcane.
Why didn't you punch him in his ugly ethnic mouth for bitching about free food
>ask him how to make it better
>he has no idea, he's never cooked in his life and also has an iq of 74
>ask him how to make it better
>he tells me to “ear” him
On the other side of it OP it’s not like the guy is the world’s top beef patty expert, and it’s quite possible he’s just butt ‘ert about being shown up.
Also it’s very nice of you to cook for your colleagues.
>everyone at work loves them
I wouldn't worry about it.
Good taste > authenticity.
Remind him that he should simply be grateful for being allowed to escape his native hellhole, and ask him how "authentically Jamaican" your rapes, murders, and ransom demands are.
If they are NOT jamaican style, then you made what exactly? Do you need to be from Jamaica to understand? No.
I've had Jamaican beef patties my whole life, and never once traveled to Jamaica. I didn't need to go. I lived in Miami, and the diaspora of Jamaicans with groceries, bakeries and restaurants specialize in patties, fresh coco bread (which is used to sandwich the pattie to prevent flakes of crust on your shirt or hands) and the delicious import sodas like Ting. Coco bread is similar to "hard dough" bread.
Made patties myself, nope, nor would I. I am not making pastry crust most days. It is not fussy, just needs cold lard and shortening with cold water and is flavored with turmeric I happen to know they are too much trouble to do well and they're easily sourced at local joints. I like them mild or hot (scotch bonnet enhanced), and if lucky you'll get a local specialty of curried lobster, curried vegetable (tastes like collard greens), or Hispaniced sweet plantain filled and yes, the curry component is quite minimal, ie mild, overall in Jamican style curry powder and it is not the same thing as "garam masala" curry powder blends. It is tumeric heavy, for one thing.
Did you use Caribbean style curry, ie Jamaican curry powder?
>maybe take his advice
>eat more beef patties to get an idea of what their supposed to taste like
>take a trip to Jamaica
>>take a trip to Jamaica
Different guy but I've done that and I'm never doing it again. Granted it was 2001 when I went so maybe things are better now but it was a madhouse when I was out there.
Everyone in Miami knows Jamaica is a dangerous hell hole.
at work
>at work
You cook for your coworkers ? Are you a cuck or something ? Also, they are just being polite. Stop being a creep by pressuring people to eat your mystery food.
jamaicans have an obsession with dry chicken and cant cook for shit
>cant cook for shit
t. never had curry goat + dhalpuri roti
Tell that guy that "Jamaican me crazy"
sounds like he was being a homosexual contrarian just to be one. ive noticed sometimes uppity blax do that shit on white people thing to make themselves feel bigger. like the black version of "well ackchually" and then proceed to make some obnoxious uppity statement to belittle you. i can almost visualize this exchange in my head.
sometimes i use more curry powder or less in the dough. sometimes more or less in the filling. there isn't a set recipe for how to make them. ive had them with curried chicken filling, curry lentil filling, bully beef filling etc. as long as the dough is a flaky yellow pastry crust and the filling is tasty, its authentic. i've been eating them my entire life and only had a bad one here and there. they used to fucking serve this as a lunch meal at school. if any patties were close to being inauthentic, it was probably those but nobody would fag out about it.
You gotta work with a Nigerian sometime
The shit they say about black people doesn't even begin to match what they have to say about israelites
