Try oxtail if they have it. We make them in the slow cooker...but we love them too much to wait it out. lol We just stop by our favorite Jamaican spots to pick some up a few times a month. 

I prefer curry goat over curry chicken. I like curry chicken with roti though. Comfort food.

I'll look for it. I think she's had it as a special a few times, noticed it on social media.

I felt like I had to say all of that because you'll get some people who were born in Jamaica, and moved to America when they were 2 or even 10. They didn't really engage in the native culture like that... but they claim it harder than someone who was immersed in the culture.

I can totally relate. I was born in Italy but moved to the states when I was just a baby.  So while my mom brought many aspects of that culture to our household growing up, I can't really act like I'm a native when I haven't even been able to spend much time there.  Definitely two parts of my identity that I've wrestled with.

I can at least speak from authority when I say Olive Garden is garbage

Cool! I'd still say you're real Italian and not EYE-talian.

Vetted by a true Jamaican who was born, raised, and part of the work force as an adult before emigrating to the US (my husband): https://cooklikeajamaican.com/amp/fays-curry-chicken/

The ketchup is a little weird. We just use diced tomatoes. Just 1 roma tomato is enough.

It's pretty much impossible to out-cool anything Jamaican.

The lobster is my new favorite thing.

If you zoom in, it's pretty freaky.

Ok, back to work. Keep fighting the good fight, spammers.

I'm in between you and @leggo PE lol. I try to cook things we'll both eat (&vice versa). He'll eat aspargus but he's not like "omgosh asparagus!". But if I only made things he was "omogsh!" about, we'd eat almost no veggies. So... 

I guess my husband and I are fairly lucky. We both don't mind eating less meat, though we're definitely not vegetarians. We have some really good veggie meals we make on the regular, and I've started to get more into my veggie friendly and veggie forward cookbooks (Oh She Glows, Love Real Food, and Dining In are my current fave's).

1. To keep the post count high

2. That was a hat-tip to @leggo PE

3. I miss speaking German to someone

Sollen wir auf Deutsch miteinander sprechen?
