NOT A PATTIE! 😀

At first glace you'd think this is a pattie. The filling is pumpkin. A sweet mixture of pumpkin with raisins wrapped in pastry. In a shape that I associate with Caribbean pattie, but it is a sweet pie.

Because it has not claimed to be a pattie I won't be rating it in The World of Patties.

I just had to include the pumpkin pie. It is an extension of my rant in 'Traditional Cuisine - Just Saying (April 2017)' about pattie fillings. So far fillings have been ackee, stew peas, callaloo, lamb, chicken, cheese, beef with cheese and shrimp and I would not be surprised if there are other fillings that I have not come across yet. As stated in past blogs I believe beef and mixed vegetables are the only two true pattie fillings.

 My question is when is a 'pattie' not a pattie?

TO MUCH PATTIE

When you find a good pattie - you might be tempted to have to much pattie LOL!!

I will be getting back on the hunt in the near future this is just a warning to Pattie shops to say I am back on the prowl.

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.

BAMBOO HUT

Bamboo Hut in Leytonstone caters for weddings and parties.

They also have a delivery service minimum order £15 within 3 miles of the shop.

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

Little shop packed high with food. So much food and different combinations and choices. I don't believe they won't have what you want. 
The food looks and smells good... and the queue is long.

Meanwhile the patties look like genuine homemade.

Lamb pattie

Pastry - pretty golden colour and flaky, but tasteless and bland - 2
Filling -  Questionable filling that has the meat colour but a smooth paste texture - 2
Shape - artistic - half circle, crimped edges with fork markings giving it the home made look - 4
Flavour - lots of pepper, but mild Caribbean flavour

Total - 8

I was drawn to this shop by the music blaring from a single speaker box placed at the front door. It is slightly back from the pavement so you will not see it by standing at the top of the road.
The pattie is the shape of an envelope and the pastry as thick as a jiffy bag! The pastry taste alright, but it's so thick and so much of it that it spoils  the balance of pastry and filling.
They display a registered for Halal food sign.

Pastry - thick! So thick that I couldn't  eat three quarters of it. The balance between pastry and filling was ridiculous. - 2
Shape - square-ish. Made worst by how thick the pastry was.  - 2
Flavour - both the filling and pastry had a flavour I would call it mild Caribbean seasoning nothing to excite the taste buds.
Filling -  taste okay, but not sure if there is any meat in the filling more of a thin layer of savory flavoued bread pudding .  - 3

Lets presume it is a family business because two enthusiastic children (I guess under 16 years of age) were answering the phone and taking orders and doing everything to satisfy the customers; as a woman barked instructions from behind the counter as she shared the food into containers.

Considering it was Sunday afternoon there was a line of shoppers nearly out the door and it wasn't because they were serving slowly. So the meals must be good - I hope!

No beef pattie on the day I visited, but I was offered lamb.

Pastry : The pastry is thick and cardboard like and taste bland - 2

Shape :  Half circle, but it's thickness made it look/seem more  squarish - 3

Filling ; The filling looked like meat, you could actually see the onions.

Flavour : I would call it a mild blend of Caribbean seasoning, but it was surprisingly tasty. The score is more for looking like meat as well as the taste. - 4

Total 9

THE TASTE BUD

The Taste Bud.

21 Silver Street,  Enfield Town EN1 3EF.
thetastebud@yahoo.co.uk

The food heater had several patties neatly packed. Plus they actually had beef patties which is a rarity now-a-days.

The lady that served the food made me feel very special. You'd think she was handling the most precious substance in the universe. She was also friendly and helpful.

Pastry - the pastry was good, light, flaky, melt in the mouth. There was more pastry than filling, but the quality made up for it. - 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 paste.  - 2.5

Filling - The darkest brown filling I've ever seen. Someone must have been happy with the browning! More of a smooth bread pudding texture.

Flavour - Excellent flavour. Caribbean and pepper flavouring -  5

They also have a Halal guarantee.
