- Mexican Dads try Jamaican food! 🇯🇲
Our papas were in for a treat when we asked them to try some delicious dishes from the beautiful island of Jamaica! 🌴
Among those tasty treats were Jamaican chicken curry patties which are a savory chicken pastry. Jamaica's national dish, ackee and saltfish, was a delicious one that surprised our dads. Spicy jerk chicken was served with fried plantains and festival bread. The dads had some comforting oxtail with rice and peas, as well as curried goat with boiled dumplings. To end the meal, we served the papas some sorrel and Jamaican black cake!

What’s your favorite Jamaican food? 🇯🇲🤤
I love the beef patties! Especially when they come from the Golden Krust brand.
Jerk Chicken
Acee and saltfish
I know I need to try cooking more foods, but for now, curry chicken is the jam. Out of the world's variations on curry anything, Jamaica's one of the best to do it
Curry chicken back or curry chicken real Jamaicans know and curry goat with lots of pepper know what's up
patties, festivals, fried dumplin, jerk chicken & oxtail 😋
They were so respectful and seemed honest in their opinions. I love how they carried themselves. Sometimes on episodes like these, the people go out of their way to be negative. Jamaican food is flavorful af.
You told no lies. Carribean food always hits ! JA specifically!
You guys know how to make some deliciously seasoned foods and amazing party food im Mexican but I love the Caribbean and the rest of continental north and South America because we have many diversified versions of similar dishes and some national dishes which are delicious, I made jerk chicken yesterday god bless Jamaica 🇯🇲
Exactly I get the same vibe they were very honest with their answers on what they think about each meal all I did was smile as I watch lol
You know why? They were women from the other Caribbean islands who seems like they have to compete with us. These men are not from the Caribbean so that's why they can give an unbiased review.
@@joanbowen3435 but why compete if your a very good cook and yet there's no love in what your cooking what's the point...and let's be honest why people giving Jamaican food shade when in fact if cook right and properly with love it's going to taste great anybody winning anything for it to be a competition?
Jamaican-Mexican fusion food would be really good
Jerk Chicken Taco, Curry Chicken Enchiladas and Oxtail Empanadas would hit 😂
We have that in l.a ❤
There is a restaurant in old San Juan, Puerto Rico that plays reggae music and does a Puerto Rican-Jamaican fusion menu! It's delish! I suspect that what you suggest would have a similar taste!
This place is like that in New York
there is a taco place in Kingston that makes great Mexican food, its called chillitos. U can get jerk chicken tacos there and ackee burrito
He said water it down with tequila ! that’s the most Mexican thing I’ve ever heard 😂
#Facts Lol
They do mix it with rum
Lmaoo.
He knows how to enjoy life. I'll enjoy a few drinks with him.
In Jamaica they water it down with white rum!
As a Jamaican , this warms my heart 🥹 I loveeee Mexican food 😭
As a Guyanese I love the love they give to Jamaica ❤
I’m a Jamaican too
Ngl dem shoulda Gwan easy wid the cornmeal inna the dumplings
I really love how they compare it to their dishes, then say what Mexican thing that would add. I'm a fan of Mexican too (and Tex-Mex). I just wish they could of had some spicier and fresher food, but I'm glad they enjoyed it.😊
My mom used to work with Jamaicans who were seasonal workers here in Dallas, & they got along so well even though my mom spoke no English. They invited us to a Sunday dinner at the church they’d attend and the food was unforgettable. They even made this red drink with ginger maybe? It was delicious.
And the strong flavor they were all tasting in the food, was probably from the pimento and thyme
And Scotch Bonnet
Thyme isn't that strong though. I feel like it was one of the "earthier" ones, like cinnamon, clove (which he noticed at one point ) or nutmeg
@LindaC616 the allspice berry or pimenta
Scotch bonnet
Pimento (alspice) has the flavour of nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon.
Respect to the Latino brothers for trying everything with an open mind and open heart. God bless
*This* is how you bring cultures together.
Very good.
They need to go to Jamaica and tried the authentic cuisine and dishes they tried. The type of firewood makes a huge difference in wood fire and coal cooking, that is the best. Plus try the roast breadfruit and jackfruit, niceness can't done. Love loved it.
But to each their own tastebuds.
mi seh, them need some country rice n peas with the real coconut milk cooked over wood fire
We cook same weh in America! Yuh act like seh wood fire and coal did done from when dem lef Jamaica! Smh
@@DJXcaliburWhere do you get your pimento wood? I can’t find any in the states. Do you have to order it special?
Xd
@@Oudia777 google. It will show you the closest manufacturer
The dude who spoke good English was my favorite only because he said he wanted to try making everything at home for the fam
The dad with the glasses is my favorite.
Facts. I would listen to him do Anthony Bordain type travel shows about food.
Same here. He seems like a really nice person too.
This made me smile so big as a Jamaican I absolutely LOVE Mexican food, I'm glad they enjoyed it 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Is just like the crazy American food almost
I love the guy with the glasses.😂he gotta be from NY with his cute accent..I died laughing when he said taking a Uber home. Jamaicans sure love their rum cake❤😂
He sounds Californian to me
Cali for sure
@jugo1944 really? How can you tell?
@@tonior3574 really? how so?
@@Babitoswold There's just a particular accent in the southwest for first language English speakers that also speak Spanish as first language. Also the NYC accent is really distinct and he doesn't have the "o" sound in coffee they have, or the non rhotic r.
I’m Mexican and married a Jamaican man. Best mix of flavor, and music. ❤ truly 1 love when I go to Jamaica.
Girl I bet that’s a good mix! 😂 I’d love to go to a cookout at your house!
Tu tenga a hermana?
That's awesome!
As a Canadian Jamaican Trinidadian and Scottish glad y’all enjoy the food
🏴 🇹🇹 🇯🇲
Edit: my bad y’all 😂
🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Wow I am the same mix Jamaican and Trinidadan ❤
🥰🥰🇹🇹
@@ayishaablake4397 LETS GOO?!?!? My grandma’s grand father was also Scottish so we have some Scottish too
You are where you were born and I'm gonna assume it was Canada since you said it first.
As a Jamaican this was awesome to see and hear . Thank you !!
As a Dominican, I can tell you that Jamaica does the best oxtail in the Caribbean. Hands down. “Rice and peas” is better in other islands, but the oxtail lifts it.
Your bugging the Dominican oxtail is top tier, I would take a Jamaican jerk chicken. Or beef patty over any empanada or chicken
You're right. Jamaican oxtail is the best by miles.
Jamaica oxtail is original even the flavor isnt similar to anything else @@arose9871
Ox tail is nasty. Not enough meat for the price. You want some bang for your buck try turkey necks or fried chicken gizzards.. now that it real food
Jamaica does fantastic rice and peas.
they were so respectful. Often times on these types of shows, the ppl don't bring a good vibe and get insulting towards other cultures or say something tacky. These guys didn't. They also really knew how to explore flavour in the way they described everything. Love them.
this video was so cute! i loved their descriptions & when they compared it to their foods! Jamaica was ruled by spain at one point, so im sure there are parallels to other countries, particularly latin! 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲
Escoveitch fish and gizzada both have Spanish influence. Spanish as in Spain.
@@user-sk3tn2ek8q lies, we have a lot of Spanish influence but because we have such a wide variety of food its hardly noticed
@@user-sk3tn2ek8q We literally make Spanish rice, which is found in plenty of Latin American countries also 😂
Spanish town in Jamaica and also some can speak Spanish, I 🩷 Jamaica 🇯🇲 .
Jamaica was *stolen by Spain. It was the Mexicans that took our enslaved ancestors in when they ran away and gave them work, and refused to return them. The history is rich. Especially their aboriginals (Natives). These guys remind me of that. Our dishes, especially the ackee, originated in Africa. Africans traded with the Natives thousands of years before Spain came. Most of our dishes and Mexican dishes are deeply entangled in a culture long before 1400 Spain. Spain gave nothing 😭😂
Mexicans and Jamaicans go together so well! Unless it’s their national soccer teams playing against each other lol. The food though is so similar. I played in a men’s league with a team full of Jamaicans and we’d invite some of our Mexican friends to come over after the game to eat, play cards and play dominoes. Talk about people so similar and different all at the same time. ❤❤❤ love it
Im really happy how they were respectful.
I wish the history behind some of the food and spices was explained. Just like Mexico, Spain had its influence on Jamaica as well. It would’ve been cool for them to try escavich fish I’m sure they would have known that flavor.
You’re very beautiful
@@user-sk3tn2ek8q so where does escavich come from because many of the islands Spain was in have their own version as well. And how can you say Spain had no influence when literally about a quarter of the towns are Spanish in name and there are areas where people are mixed with Spanish generations ago. … JA = Arawaks, African (Ghana, Nigerian, Ethiopian, etc), English, Irish, Jewish, Scottish, Spanish, Dutch, Chinese and East Indian and now some Japanese … all of which have had an influence in our culture to this day including our food.
@48mavemiss2 Stop arguing with idiots. You can not always enlighten the ignorant. You're wasting your energy.
@48mavemiss2 you're right in that the Spaniards and Portuguese took the idea around the world (south America and the Philippines as well). The name comes from Arabic. So I don't know where the idea originated...northern Africa?
There's a heavy Asian influence as well.
Puerto Rican and grew up on Mexican, Peruvian and Jamaican food🤤
What a mix, I am Jamaican and Trinidadian and grew up on Puerto Rican food too
Oh u grew up with good food! 😂
I love the spice Peruvians put on their chicken. The beans are also delicious! A lady use to sell chicken and beans in the neighborhood. Sadly she closed down! Got me hooked on Peruvian food!
As a NYC resident for 30 plus years ,Jamaican beef patty with mozzarella on coco bread tosted is by far the best ever combo for this Jamaican beef patty.
Ooh ama try that. Our patties are usually made with cheddar chz but ama try this one, sounds yummy.
lmbooo sis for reall im born and bred in nyc and im like errbody and they momma know about the beef patty lol
And I promise you- no patty in NYC tastes like a real Jamaican patty. The patty in Jamaica tastes far better! I live in NYC and travel regularly to Jamaica
Never had cheese on a patty. I can't see it.😅😂
@nca4794 it's so good! In Jamaica I always get the plain beef patties and freeze them and then put cheese in them when I'm back home cuz the authentic patties are the best but Jamaica isn't exactly known for their range of cheeses 😅
You can smell Jamaican food from all the way down the street ...so delicious 😋 😍 🇯🇲❤
We are so much more alike than not. Love when they draw the similarities to their own Mexican foods.
Really! 😍 How is Jamaican food similar to Mexican?
Both Mexico and Jamaica was once ruled by Spain.
@@FrancesWilson-dg6jl is that the only similarities?
Similarities, like plantains, rice and beans, goat in a stew, meat pies, seasonings, etc.
@@monzorella1There are these dishes called mole poblano and chile negro that kind of remind me of Jamaican food flavor wise, but maybe it depends on who makes it tbh. We also have goat stews and oxtail stews, but I’m not sure if the flavor palettes are the same. Rice and beans. Spicy stuff. Empanadas and patties. I’m not gonna put that as a sure thing though because it just depends on how things are made and the flavor palette. We also eat plantains depending on which part of Mexico, but a lot of countries have plantains too so idk if that counts. Anyways Jamaican food is my favorite in the world even though I’m Mexican. It’s a weekly staple for me. So thank you Jamaica, keep being top tier 🇯🇲
Thank you for this video, you’ve earned a Jamaican subscriber! Big up all the Mexican dads, VIVA LA MEXICO 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
This video shows that we are all 1... UNITED WE STAND 1 LOVE❤
I can eat Ethiopian, Mexican and Jamaican food for the rest of my life and be happy lol. Ok, Thai food too. They are all so flavorful and are always a hit never a miss.
Same
You all should take a trip to our lovely island Jamaica 🇯🇲 ❤️
What and get robbed , no thanks
They just have to go to the south of their countries and they have Caribbean influence. Look up san Andres - Colombia and Nicaragua it’s called blue something. They are Caribbean descendants who are discriminated by the European Spanish who came over. Interesting history.
This makes my 🇯🇲🇵🇷 heart smile. I always explain to latin friends that beef patties are the Jamaican empanada, and for Americans not familiar with island food: it’s like a Jamaican Hot Pocket lol
Hot Pockets could never though! Jamaican patties are superb.
Lol. I wouldn't compare Patties to hot pockets. Patties are much better. I never heard of hot pockets growing up. That came out during the 90's or early 2000.
I live for Jamaican Beef Patties.❤
jamaican, mexican, indian and east asian foods have flavor. which is the main reason they are more famous in western countries than their own dishes.
I love it! Best comment ever *You can water it down with TEQUILA" 😆😆😆😆😆😆 I love it!
We add Wray and Nephew Rum
It's sooooo good
You know Jamaica Sangria sounds lush!
Oxtail is my favorite Jamaican dish
Curry chicken and white rice!
Yep❤
The “whoa” when he took that first sip of the Sorrel (SORR-el) I said, yup 👍🏾 i be stocking up come Christmas time!
Man, I had a great little Jamaican spot right by my work that shut down during the pandemic. I miss the Beef pies. Support your local restaurants so you don't lose them.
As a jamaican, I approve of this video. ❤ I love that you loved it. All your comments were so gracious, thank you.
Im not even Jamaican and i appreciated how they described each dish. They sound like chefs describing them.
Jerk chicken is amazing! Love jamaican food! 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲❤❤❤❤
Curry goat too 🤤
Glad they loved our food! And side note the dad with the glasses has the most soothing voice
As a Mexican I loveeee Jamaican food and I been to the country as well 🇲🇽❤🇯🇲
They were all so wholesome. I like how they were all very verbal in a soft way.
As a Jamaican this made me smilee as I adore mexican food, me and my family love birria. me and my mom really want a mexican vacation for us.Lots of love mexico we love you so much. Our cultures are soo similar this video felt like family 🥹🩷 Cant wait to visit mexico.
Big up the honest Mexicans. Big up Jamaica
Loved this! Very honest and respectful responses. And I love how they can see the similarities between cultures and appreciate the differences.
I love bringing cultures together like this. So cool to see and hear their thoughts
Like the one sweet guy said, if it's not done right, it's going to ruin the experience. The right chef and ingredients make all the difference. Hats off to them for giving it a go. Authentic 🇯🇲 Food will make you Praise Yah!!
Black cake is so good. It's basically alcohol infused cake.
Like they said really dense rich rum cake. It's so good with either grape nut ice cream or rum and raisin ice cream.
Soooo delicious
So proud watching this. I love how they appreciated our food and were honest but respectful. ❤
Yay now the dad are going to try Jamaican food. Love this
I love that they tried the best of everything Jamaica has to offer. I got hungry watching this video. 🇯🇲
Jahmaking me crazy. Love it🇯🇲
😂😂
Now I'm craving both Jamaican *and* Mexican food 🤣
I know a Jexican restaurant 😜
sorrel without the accent always makes me laugh, black cake and ice cream😋😋🤤🤤
I’m a proud 🇯🇲 🇲🇽 and I really appreciate content like this.
This was a great video! Being open to other cultures, etc helps bridge the gap! ❤
I like how this dads described the flavor very professional and respectful...have they tried rating their own carnitas? If not they should !
The best wedding I ever went to was a Jamaican Mexican wedding. Food, music, dancing, alcohol! I had a blast!!!! They never stopped bringing out food so much that we took food home. 10/10
Aww they was all so respectful and honest I loved it ❤❤
Jamaica 🇯🇲 respect Mexico 🇲🇽 💯 great video tasting our different Jamaican dishes I like the honest opinions!
video made me hungry!!!! I'm jumping on the train to Brooklyn 🏃🏾♂
I loved them. Respectful and genuine
I love how they are open and willing to try new dishes,
I wish my grandmother was still around to see this. She would invite all of them to her home (Anchovy, St. James Parish, Jamaica) and feed them until they couldn’t walk. Lol
Experiencing other cultures through food is a great way to minimize racism,,,it opens you up to things you never knew beyond the food and gives you a chance to think deeper about those you may have never really considered...loved this
I love all the interesting remakes. Their answers was delightful.
Y’all gave them a good variety of foods to try! I loved this!!
As a Black American I LOVE both cuisines 🇯🇲 🇲🇽 some really good eating!
Wash it down with a Red Stripe or Corona w/ Lime 😁
👍🏿✌🏿
Where are your parents from...which states
@@BigWhitePig Father OREGON / Mother GEORGIA
@@hapjoy16 So you're Black American
The coolest blacks 😎🤟🏾
This was so nice to watch ❤
Thank you for embracing our food. I’ve visited Mexico 5 times and love the people. Can’t wait for my next trip.
Classy. I like how they didn’t rush to tear the food down. They were open minded and gave thoughtful reviews
WHO told this man that there's CHOCOLATE in the black cake?????!!!!
OHhhhh my goodness who lied to him!! There's NO CHOCOLATE!!!!
It's mixed fruit, raisins, and an unhealthy amount of rum (if done right LOL)!
There's NEVER ANY CHOCOLATE IN BLACK CAKE! I need to know what they were told before they were given the cake LOL
Also, What did you guys tell them before giving them the ackee dish? Why were they looking for fruit??? LOL I think they were thinking the dish was going to be sweet after hearing that ackee is a fruit!
I loved this! I'm going to watch more of these videos! Subscribed! 🤩
Ackee is like a tomato 🍅
It's a fruit but in the vegetable group 🧄🥕🥗🥘🥫😂 how did they not know?
Because it looks like chocolate that's why 😂😂😂😂😂 this guy, I tell you
I loved the man in the khaki shirt reaction when he tried the curried goat! It was awesome. And the other man in the gray shirt who said he would compliment the curry goat with a tortilla also made me laugh out loud. The same dude in the gray shirt knew how to use deductive reasoning to answer the first two questions right. He answered all of them right!
Loved this!!! They obviously have very sophisticated palates. Really cool to see their perspectives.
Love how respectful they all were❤❤❤❤
These gentlemen seems like they all have great experience of flavour profiles ❤❤❤❤
Here in Jamaica, we prefer fried dumplings or roasted breadfruit with the ackee. Boiled green bananas go well ackee and saltfish.
The fried ripe plantains go with the rice and peas. Green plantains (tostones) go with jerk chicken.
That gentleman was right when he said tortilla would go well with the curried goat. We use 'roti' here in Jamaica. It is basically the same as tortilla- light and thin. The goat should've be presented with white rice.
As a foodie and who loves both cuisines this is amazing. 🇯🇲 ❤️
When they were eating the beef patty and saying "open it up and put Tapatío on it", all I can think of is... give him a Tastee or a Juicy Patty from anywhere in Kingston where you can get it with plenty Scotchbonnet in it...
I did love seeing this, and how respectful they all were and that they loved the food. Thank you, Mexican Dads!
So cool seeing them try food I’ve never seen!! Now I wanna try lmaoo
You should Jamaican food is delicious
LOVE papahs and this channel!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Awww bless them all, we love our food and to see others try and enjoy it too is really nice 😍
This warmed my heart so much as a Jamaican-American because I absolutely love Mexican food so damn much❤❤❤
As a Jamaican I was dying laughing hearing some of the ingredients they thought were in those dishes. I hope you told them sorrel is what we usually drink around Christmas or New Years. The black cake is made with Sorrel and not raisins. The sorrel is soaked in rum for months before the juice is pressed out to make the cake. If someone makes your black cake with raisins run! They are making a cheaper version that will have way leas flavor!
New Years? I drink Sorrel straight through!
@@SlangScientist that’s up to you! Most of us Jamaicans drink it for Christmas and New Years.
❤ im so glad the dads said it correctly. Ox tail no (s) its ONE tail cut into pieces!! Good job Daddies! 🥰
This made me so happy! I’m glad they liked it 😊🇯🇲
Them dads know their cooking... They explain each dish like experts!! So wholesome!!
These brothers were so humble . The first brother had me laughing. Bless up yourself. Taste the rum cake and said can i get a uber home ? HAHA
Bro said can i get an uber home 😂😂 ❤️ bkack snd brown love how it shoukd be. 💯🔥
Thank you for this video ❤.
I love ackee and saltfish (I miss it so much).
And rice and beans with jerk chicken and plantains.
As a Jamaican this makes me feel good to see different people in the world enjoying our food😍
I've never seen a festival like that...usually they are long. Thats how make them, at least. Love these videos!!
It's probably not festival.
It looked like fried dumplings to me
@@monzorella1 same thing some people did the plantains, cut them different
Circles!😖
Your guests are so honest. I love it. I don't always agree. But they are honest and entertaining.
Great job. Nice job with the food and I really like these guys.
I watched the entire video with a big grin😁This video is wholesome 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
As a jamaican let me just say i love Burritos so i'm happy to hear the curry goat and beef patty won your hearts. Jerk chicken isnt the only thing we we are great at.
Jamaican and Mexican food are the best foods on the planet .
I loved this video, so wholesome
My man with the glasses just appreciates and knows how to identify well prepared food!!
The Jamaican Beef Patties looks like one of the Vietnamese cuisine (Pate Chaud). You can get Pate Chaud at Lee's Sandwiches.
