JUICIE PATTIES JAMAICA

While in Negril we popped into a patty shop. Of course I had a beef pattie, but spotted that they also make Ackee, Cheese and Shrimp patties.

The fillings are becoming more extravagant to cater for more tastes. The snack has taken on a whole new role. Are you tempted to embrace this trend of diluting the traditional beef or vegetable pattie with new fillings? 

I still maintain these different fillings should be named something other than pattie. Any suggestions?

Maybe 'Jamaican pastries' could be an optional name/identity? Unlike Danish pastries that are sweet the Jamaican pastry could become the new savories wrapped in pastry. At least when you ask for a pattie you would know your choice is beef or vegetable. 

I have not diverted from the purpose of this blog to find the best tasting pattie  in the UK.

The hunt goes ever on.

Beef Patties 

Lots of pastry making the filling seem like a little spread inside of the pattie.

They don't make there own patties but when I asked who the supplier was the young lady serving did not know who they got the patties from. I suspect they get them from Taste Buds or the same bakery that supplies Taste Buds - very similar shape. Although the baker may of had an off day this time.

Pastry - the pastry was good, light, flaky, melt in the mouth. There was more pastry than filling. - 4

Shape - it was more like a Cornish pastie shape than a pattie. It just needed another fold on the edge to be recognised as a Cornish pastie.  - 2.5

Filling - it was meaty but a small spread of it.

Flavour - bland with mild Caribbean flavouring -  3

Total score 9.5
