Idk if its cuz Im from the Caribbean (Haiti) and grew up in Miami but I never met a black person that didn’t know what a Jamaican Patty was.
im a black american, nobody eats that, thats not a big a thing for us but like you said you grew up in miami where there is a gang of caribbean folks so that would probably explain it.
@@kareemabduljacandybar4558 when I say black person Im not just talking about Caribbean people. Black Americans on the east coast and Miami, Atlanta tend to know what a Jamaican patty is
@@kareemabduljacandybar4558 I’m from the north east and I say the majority of black Americans are well versed in Caribbean food.
@@mackstacks8913 oh aight im from the midwest its the opposite for me
@@noelaniasmara midwest
I wish they did more distinct foods. Yes, beef patty=Jamaica, but the smashed green plantain isn't uniquely Haitian nor is the beans and rice uniquely Belizean. So, the contestants could said other countries and technically not be wrong. I also think if they were to do a pt. 2, use people who have had Caribbean food so they'll actually have a chance at getting it right. Getting people who've rarely or never eat it doesn't really add to the premise.
Exactly
Facts, if they wanted to make the fried plaintain Haitian should of been served with the spicy coleslaw
@@wlynyoung including pikliz would have definitely made it distinctly Haitian 🇭🇹
agreed
Exactly!! I think the producers need to try a bit harder with the meals that they want the people to try! How about Soup Joumou/Djon Djon from Haiti, Sancocho/Mangu from DR, or even Arroz con Pollo/Ropa Vieja/Platanos en Tentacion from Cuba?
The plantain thing was kinda off to me. Most Caribbean nationalities I know smash green plantain, fry and eat it. Tostones, Patacones, Fried Plantain....same thing different name.
Yeah they should of added some griot at the very least some pikliz to make it distinctively Haitian but Im guessing not everyone there eats pork.
I’m from the Caribbean island of Antigua we use ripe plantains and fry them or boil them. U rarely see anyone using green plantains
Ehh but each country prepares it differently
Interesting I thought green plantain was more of a Spanish thing because because as a Trinidadian I didn't even know that there were 2 different types until I accidentally picked up the green one at Walmart and was like this thing so ripe and black why does it taste so bland??🤣
@@mother_prana 🤣🤣🤣🤣I'm of Jamaican and Costa Rican decent. I grew up frying both green and yellow plantain. My favorite is when the plantain is in between green/yellow color skin stage.
This needs a pt 2/do over. Fried plantain isn’t just specific to Haiti. Y’all should’ve had them try Soup Joumou or Griot.
Right.
I love griot
@@reginadavis7499 yes it’s sooo good 😍
i'm sure other countries they could've done better too. it's not personal
And some diri!! 😍
The guy was right, plantain is whole Caribbean thing.. including smashed plantain
Right!
They’ve even adopted it in parts of Mexico
Lol! Yes in my head I was like tostones!
Plantain isn’t distinct to Haiti alone, I’m from Grenada and it’s a staple in our dishes. It’s also commonly used among the other islands. Also, maybe the contestants should be familiar with Caribbean foods so they can actually have an idea of what they’re trying. The guy was spot on with his answers because he’s familiar.
Right! I’m puerto rican and we call them tostones
Thats common sense everything is everywhere 💀
Same, Trini here and fried plantain, boil plantain, it in everything
“I might be wrong but I’m going to be confident” 😂 number one rule to live by
I thought the beef patti would be the easiest one? They are soooo delicious. 🤤
Wow! I thought Jamaican beef patties are well known nationally. Well let me represent🗽🇻🇮🇯🇲
Im haitian and I looovee Jamaican beef patty but I feel like if I didn’t live in FL and NY I wouldn’t have known about them
Likewise, that was surprising.
Notice the person from the east coast got it . I think Jamaican food is more well known of the east coast because the largest portion of the immigrants settled there
I'm from 🇬🇾 and I love patties
@@TheSuperNats I live in Arizona they definitely have them here too delicious
Feel like u coulda left off the blind folds and got the same results 🤣
Lol dang its true. Its not the contestants fault though. I say the producers just organized this badly
Lmao, I’m only in the first 3mins. How on Earth can you not recognize a Jamaican patty.
Exactly. It's A Unique Taste.
Because it didnt taste good
@@tpexchange4290 didn’t taste like a real Yardie patty
They were blindfolded
It could have been the golden krust variety
"I feel good about my taste"
Girl you missed BEEF lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
this comment made me CACKLE ahahahaha so true
Soooo many other food items that could’ve been used for Belize that didn’t have to do with any ones allergies BUT I love that Belize was finally represented 🙏🏾💙🇧🇿 THANK YOU
I said the same thing!
Well she said that was all available.
Yes like grinaches, if they can eat fry jack , rice & beans, they could’ve had that
🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿
@@dessautentica8641 I said the same thing. Only the real Belize 🇧🇿 know . Or even milk cake
Who’s the Haitian that brought in that “Haitian” dish? Let me speak to them real quick 😂😂 could’ve at least made Akra or Marinade
I feel the same way about the Belizean dish lol
Yes they could’ve did something more specific for real
I really like this series 😂, it would be cool to see other spin-offs off of it like Africans guess Caribbean Food or Caribbeans guess Soul Food!
Plantain=plan-tin
Like mountain, fountain..... plantain ✨
I say plan-teen.
@@jow265 where are you from?
I say platano it just roles off easier
@@victoru918 the only other acceptable alternative 😄
THANK U OMG
The guy knew what was up! Even called the rice & beans rice & peas!! He’s def an east coaster
Lol he closer to the islands in the south. Probably got some geeche roots.
How is this the representation for Black Americans and you have two light-skinned women with very mixed features?
Are there no light-skinned Black Americans?
Something about hearing the instrument my country invented was relaxing big up our national instrument the steel pan🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 Spree Simon
Yes 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Ayeee love the representation of Belize most people forget about my little country 🇧🇿 🥺💕
Yessss! 🇧🇿
I had a friend growing up that made Panades, I hope I spelled it right. It was tuna in a homemade tortilla shaped like the beef patty with cabbage on top.
We representing! 🇧🇿 💪🏾
Yasss 🇧🇿🇧🇿
yes❤
People are expecting folks that said they barely ate Caribbean food to accurately guess a beef patty? How per se do you guess something you've never had? Lol.
It's beef. They would have had beef already. They should know the meat at least, yes Jamaican patties has alot of seasoning and pepper but I don't know how they could miss it's beef. Same with things like pastelles.
@@3lttlbrds They're guessing the dish, not the ingredients. Not all names of dishes have the ingredients in the name. Like.......pastelles.
💯people like to complain 😂
The 3rd girl said she's confident in her tasting skills 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 girllll!!!! anyway this was fun to watch
FR, she thought a beef patty was a squash and didn’t taste ANY beans, girl your tasting skills are not on your side 💀
you could've served the Haitian banan with pikliz since a lot of countries have a version of plantains, although ours is dipped in a mixture of vinegar and salt (some people put lime) before frying twice and finishing with salt. typically eaten along with griot (fried pork)
I'm sorry but no way you don't live under a rock if you don't know a beef batty. Jamaica is easily one of the most recognized Caribbean islands, if not THE most recognized.
Edit: Also how are you saying "plan-tain" in a Carribean episode??? We pronounce it "plan-TIN". And it's curry goat, not goat curry good heavens
Exactly 😂 I almost didn’t want to finish watching after that
people say platain differently i say plantain
Not everyone pronounces plantain the same way
Over here in California they pronounce it funny it irks my soul when people mispronounce it...😡😡😡
Calm down, buddy😂. It’s not that serious. They are plenty well-known American Black dishes Jamaicans don’t know & vice versa. The pronunciation difference is just a accent difference/preference. The same way Jamaicans pronounce some words “funny/incorrect” to us 😂
They don’t know something as well recognized as a beef patty??!!! 🙄
Can this channel open pilot locations somewhere other than California please?!!!! I always feel like the people are unreliable sources 😂
Yesss! They’re all always located in LA
The entire city of LA cannot represent black Americans 😭they always miss the mark
Doing this type of shoot in New York would've been better since the Caribbean and black culture cross paths all the time.
@@711g Or Miami because, hell, we right there....lol!
@@711g or even dudes hometown of Atlanta
I have never seen representation of belizean food. I’m not close to my culture but this was really cool to see! 🇺🇸🇭🇳🇧🇿❤️ also how they didn’t know it was a beef patty? I’m vegetarian but I’ve had it before lol! 😅🌱
I’m Belizean too!!
me toooooo
How you don't know about a Beef Pattie! talking about a hot pocket. Good Lawd! LMFAO
I was like, not a hot pocket. The disrespect, lol
We need more Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 representation😭
and Barbados😭😭😭😭😭😭
Bruh.. even a white person coulda guessed the beef patty🤦🏿♂️
Bruh I actually got a little mad at that. My 3 year old nephew would have guessed the plantain and patty
YAAAAYY!!!! Loved this episode! Glad to see our REPRESENTATION!!! These foods could be from a lot of the countries of the Caribbean. So I'm impressed they got some right ahahhah
This video slightly annoyed me because they had to guess the country… most if not all Caribbean countries eat fried plantains it doesn’t belong to any one country and most Caribbean countries eat beans and rice or rice and peas so it would be really difficult for them to pinpoint an exact country. I think we need a do over with more dishes that are authentically from a certain country.. there are tons.. please do it over. If done the right way this could have been a fire 🔥 video
With the plantains I think it was more the smashed effects of it because in Guyana 🇬🇾 and Jamaica 🇯🇲 we don’t smash it so that’s the difference
@@aleshasinclair8529 lol well they might need to kick a couple of us out of Jamaica tomorrow because I smashed mine this morning for breakfast , we just don’t call it smashed we call it pressed.
@@dumpzz I’m Jamaican born and raised and I’v never had a smashed or “pressed” plantain in my life.
@@DatActiveGuy I am as well, still living in the country as we speak and I have. They even sell it at Island Grill and many Jerk Spots. Pressed plantain is a thing here
@@dumpzz I’m going down in July, I will have to keep an eye out for it because that is completely new to me.
Fry jack could’ve been served with some black beans though.. but stew chicken rice & beans with the potato salad on the side or grinaches yesss big up Belize 🇧🇿 💪🏽
I feel like this should've been done with more unique dishes for islands. The Jamaican patty was pretty much the only unique one since patties I've had from Antigua, Haiti etc all differ so that was an easier pick.
With the plantain, rice and peas, and fry jack (they remind me of fried dumpling/ johnny cakes) ; just like the guy said, pretty much every Caribbean nation has a version. Them naming any island would've been right honestly
Where they find these "Black" Americans.
😬 lol right
It's obvious that ACTUAL Caribbean people didn't pick these dishes. 😂
As a Belizean, I'm super proud to see them try rice and beans and fry jacks
The New York guy would know.
Facts! This channel needs pilot locations cause these California people are unreliable sources!
They could not have given this test to a Black American from South Florida.... Carribean food is apart of our comfort food spectrum - just like Southern foodstuffs.
Most of us would have been calling the foods by their island names.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol!!
I said the same thing lol
You all did Belize and injustice! That’s not a typical fry Jack either
LMfaoo! Not the fry jack and rice n beans!! 😂😂😂😂 they did us dirty! 🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿🇧🇿
"Goat curry" 🥲
LOL I know
Curry goat 🙂
@@jodimatthews2755 yes, I know dear..
As a Belizean I don't think anyone actually eats fry jacks and rice and beans together...also I feel like rice and beans is universally Caribbean so they coulda picked smtn else
What do you eat fry Jacks with?
They had a disclaimer about allergies and explained that. Lol.
@@deb1920 So you’re telling me that an allergy made it so they couldn’t have picked anything else…?
@@jow265 It’s usually eaten at breakfast or for tea(dinner) so with cheese, fried beans or jam, things like that.
@@danewalton4838 I'm saying they explained what you already said. That those things aren't eaten together.
He was confident and he won
Dominicans call the second dish tostones. Next time you should choose distinct dishes from specific countries because the 2nd and 3rd dishes have variations in several parts of the Caribbean
Exactlyyy I’m from PR n we call them tostones too. The 2nd n 3rd dishes r definitely something eaten all ova the Caribbean with variations n ppl tht rnt familiar wit Caribbean food wouldn’t know the differences
If they would have added pikliz to the plantains, then if would have been a Haitian dish , but just only putting a plantain it that isn’t very distinctive
They didn’t choose black Americans from South Florida for a reason. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Or NY. I wanted to see something from Barbados.
Glad you guys included Belize 🇧🇿 🇧🇿🇧🇿
In all the types of foods in Belizean culture they get fryjack and rice and beans???Yall could had got tamales, meat pie, escabeche, relleno negro or chamole, salbutes, garnaches, hudutu and sere, panades, and etc. Smh
It's so sad to me that people have such a limited knowledge of Caribbean food. It's very clear it hasn't "arrived" like I thought. Every country has similarities but still very distinct and unique dishes and desserts. West coast Caribbean people, y'all don't have restaurants or invite friends over to try run down, bake and saltfish or provision? This just confirms NY is home forever just based on the food accessibility.
Here in Vegas It's been popular, we even have a Caribbean food truck at my work regularly ❤️ it's a staple out here
New York and Vegas are more multicultural than California by a lot, they have a huge Asian population in CA (there's a history of concentration camps there after pearl harbor)
The Caribbean communities are much smaller outside NYC. It was hard for me to find anything from at least Jamaica in other areas.
@@laurelshade Carribean Food Truck ? Where is that 😳 ? I'm in Vegas too , but not very familiar with other regions food .
Not many ppl actually want to make food for other people let alone a restaurant and finding a place too with all the stuff and equipment would be hard. In the state I’m at I think there’s literally only like 2 Caribbean restaurants and both are super expensive
I’m mad and insulted my man said I love Caribbean food and then said Golden Crust.
The producers are the ones needing a cultural knowledge of Caribbean Islands foods, fruits, cuisines and how each are made based on the Island traditional methods; i.e., plantains are widely cooked, fried, baked, smashed, etcetera ..
Before inviting contestants to guess any Caribbean Islands dishes
There are green, yellow, overly ripen plantains, moreso the different varieties
Last, the plantain can also be from Dominican, Granada and parts of Jamaica, maybe other islands to how they are exact in their preparation, minus the oil used and the seasoning on it
Plus is it crushed or smashed using a fork only or placed in its skin and pressed, or maybe a tortilla empanada presser equipment
The second girl had me lol when she was trying the Belize dish 😂🤣 that def would’ve been me too if i was trying it
Dude said yea I love Caribbean food I’ve been to good crust 😂😂😂😂
West coast vs east is why the women have no clue here
I love the guy. He seems so wholesome ❤
Not the Golden Crust patty! Lmao That's why they didn't care for it 😂
You should do doubles from Trinidad and Tobago for part 2!
Big up Belize! Come through with the fry jack yesssss. It still looked pretty good even though the recipe had to be adjusted. I eat mine with refried beans and cheese.
The Best!
@@blue12night2 for sure!
I put honey on mine 😩
@@WhatsBrooklyn that sounds good too! If I want it sweet I do jam. 😊
I eat my fryjack with refried beans, egg, avocado, tomato, and of course with Marie Sharpe!
Let's just take a deep sigh for Cali girls LOL *ATL stand up!!!* Let me go find his IG 👀
Bro man is a great taste tester, he knows his foods!
Plantians are done all over the caribbean.! Jamaicans, cubans puertoricans and DR all do it like this too so evryone should hv been given the point for plantains.
We need a part two with some classic Caribbean meals
How do they not know beef patties 🥲
I like that the contestants were open to trying new things. That first lady looks like some of my cousins. I wonder where her peeps are from?
I would like to say that oxtails isn’t strictly a Caribbean thing. It’s more about how it’s prepared that makes the difference. My family is mostly from Alabama and my great grandmother on my dad’s side used to make it a lot. She was born in late 1800s and never visited the Caribbean. My family still cooks oxtails but not as much because of the expense. But it is also a traditional dish for Black Americans. 😊
Thank you for being allergy conscious!! I've always wondered how that went(having allergies myself). That's dope that yall brought that up
That dude was just there to eat lolol. But yea the plantain could've been from any of the countries. They all share smashed plantains
Yes!! Finally get see Belize in one of these videos. It was so weird to see rice and beans eaten with a fried jack though lol
When she said empanada I almost fell out 😂
Jerk chicken, roti, pepper pot, saltfish, curry goat. So many missed marks 😞
"Im bout to win!" 😂😂
Let me start trouble 😂 Plan-Tin is how you pronounce it. Like Fountain and Mountain. 😂
Smashed green plantain is eaten from all Caribbean countries and Belize is not really a Caribbean country 😭
Not hot pockets😭😭
Thought this would've been fairly easy 😳
I like Caribbean food- Golden Krust lol girl bye
cubans have smashed fried plantains too, we call them tostones. so the third girl was not wrong
Right!
Puerto Ricans make tostones too. I don’t care much for them but maybe the Cuban version is better. Usually I only like unripe plantains thin sliced and made as chips. I like the ripe ones for the sweetness.
@@anndeecosita3586 well i've tried the puerto rican version and they're pretty similar, so I guess u wont really care for the cuban ones either. but i agree, plantain chips (chicharitas, as we call them) and maduros are also very nice
you all should do trinidadian foods like doubles, saheena, alloo pies oil down, peleau and bake and shark
I want a redo for the 🇭🇹 dish. Smh!
They added Belize here! 🇧🇿🇧🇿
Plantain isn’t uniquely Haitian. Many belizean make foods like rice and beans with plantain
Ummm blaack Americans, know Caribbean dishes Vince the guy knowing the foods y’all needed more black people from the east coast
When he used his hands!!!!! Definitely can come to Nigeria
Yes , now Caribbeans guess black American food .
I’m glad someone at least guessed Haiti. And btw she wants too off. We do Pattie’s too but ours are not soft, they’re more hard and flaky 😋
Caribbean ppl pronounce plantain as plan-TIN 🇹🇹
Thank you!!! I cringe every time I hear somebody say it the way they've been saying it.
It’s PLAN-TIN!!!!
There are two pronunciations in English. I also say it as plan-tayne
Lmfaooooo I’m so disappointed in them the guy is the best
Not all of them saying planTAIN 🤣🤣🤣
The guy was spot on. Soooooo many countries have plantain in their dishes. You need some specific things unique to the countries I think
Same for rice and peas.. he said Jamaica and that is right
Thanks Isaiah for doing Georgia proud.
plantain? ah Plantin!!
I don’t understand because they say fountain, mountain but why plantaaain 😂😂
They’re not mispronouncing it. Look it up and you will see there are two pronunciations for plantain.
@@timmyturner8724 we also say maintain, complain and gain.
@@anndeecosita3586 as a Jamaican.. we say plantain, we get flung out the country and kick up
@@christopherthompson1011 omg 😂😂😂
I know they tried to make it harder, but once the other two didn’t know what beef Patties were, the conversation was over.
Oh, so these are hollywood "black americans." Got it.
My boy from the A on point
Um these people aren’t black Americans
I live for these videos!!! Can’t believe I’m so early
Jamaica is known for beef Pattie’s but why not ackee & saltfish? We also eat a whole lot of fry plaintain, smashed, boiled😩 PT 2 please
Them saying Plantain the way they’re saying it is making my heart cry 😩🥴
This is the comment I was looking for!
Right?! It kills me.
It's plan-tin 😭
How they supposed pronounce it though...
Do they need hold the pronunciation of the o and say plátano lol
@@_kingjo_ I mean some people say plan-tin but any one can say it based on where they come from 🤷
na they better get me on how tf do they not know Jamaican patties? do better cocoa butter casting team
the platains aren’t exclusively from haiti miss ma’am, i’m from DR and that’s also a very dominican dish, and they’re also very known in pr
