JUCIE PATTIES

I mention Juicie patties and you know I am in the land of the original pattie - Jamaica.

Juicie patties lives up to expectations - Pastry, flavour & taste! I hope to try out Mr Tasties patties (the islands other popular pattie makers) before I leave, but I wouldn't have the audacity to compare these to the English version 's and English deviations of the pattie. On saying that Jucie Patties  have changed there fillings - the most noticeable is the ackee. 

Without saying anything my followers will know that I am disappointed that the home land has gone off in a similar direction of changing the filling of there patties but maintaining the same name as the original beef or vegetable patties. See my article "TRADITIONAL CUISINE - JUST SAYING"

So Jucie have made ackee patties to cater for the vegans. I have one question: is the pastry still made with beef suet?
