beans n rice always a hit

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

You’re on your own with this one bud. A fire red bean& collard green dish with some honey butter corn bread is tough to beat.

You don’t like chilli cookouts famb? Jamaican red beans & rice? Hummus? Rowan Atkinson is rolling in his grave right now

Na beans just suck. I’ll take the greens and corn bread with out those trash beans, no thanks to hummus and I love Jamaican meats and seasonings no funny stuff b but their rice is terrible. They probably cook rice the worst outta all the Caribbean countries. They ain’t messing with Puerto Rican, Dominican and Cuban rice.

beans n rice always a hit

I’m Dominican. I been getting feed rice and beans in some capacity at least 3-4 times a week my entire life. Always throw the beans out or if it’s a moro I’m picking the beans off my fork idc if it’s at home or a restaurant.

Green bean casserole is appreciated too

 

[B Sox]

What kinda block party they serve beans at tho Should have left

Lentil, Red, chickpea, pigeon peas, boston baked, kidney, soy, fava, don’t matter beans just suck. I Can’t get with that mushy texture

I pulled up late after the 1pm games and my next door neighbor is an older Caribbean woman (not sure which country) that just started putting stuff on a plate for me

Given the number of drinks I had consumed watching the Ravens blow another game, I had no problem eating whatever she was putting in front of me.

I’m glad my Giants ruined your Sunday afternoon.

Some terrible takes in here today

 

[heelsandeers]

I'm late to bean appreciation. Never liked them growing up

But they are an elite food in terms of cost and nutrition

Versatile too. Just can't do "baked" / sweet beans

Brenda be having some awful ones

 

[lawdog1]

I eat beans is some form multiple times a week, mainly due to my affinity for burritos. But I eat them lots of other ways too.

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

It’s my preference. I don’t like extra mushy stuff. And if it’s mushy it has to be on something solid like peanut butter on some bread etc etc. I don’t mess with soup either. Just flavored broth water. Leave that for the sick and senior citizens

I usually scroll pass, but for some reason decided to read it today. You know how many rice options they have in Jamaica? Mans had it probably at one spot and just decided all rice from Jamaica is bad. #NTExtremes

Block Party Plate

Was this song playing during the block party? If not, the block party is incomplete. No offense.

Don’t hit as much as Puerto Rican, Dominican or Cuban rice at all with the slight crunch yet fluffy softness. Gotta be that dab(s) of oil they cook the rice with

Oil? I'm not saying you can't use oil in it, but generally, it isn't cooked with oil. Where you getting this rice and peas from?

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

Oil? I'm not saying you can't use oil into, but generally it isn't cooked with any oil.

That’s what makes it better in my opinion. It Gives it a slight crunch yet still fluffy soft.

Coconut is used along side butter.

 

[tupac jordan]

Jamaican food > Dominican food

I guess you can use coconut oil but from my experience eating, cooking and watching in Latino restaurants it’s vegetable or olive oil.

Find you a place that has some good shelly rice and peas and then make your judgement. It doesn't sound like you have too much experience with the Jamaican cuisine.

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

Jamaican food > Dominican food

Not with that garbage rice . Give me a plate of lechon or pernil with rice and tostones. But I understand the best Dominican restaurants are in the northeast (jersey, nyc, boston) and Florida so if you live in another state I can see why you would say that

I been the island but non the less give me your recs in the city.

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

Again i didn’t say Jamaican food was trash I just said their rice was. Especially considering their island neighbors.

I grew up at a young young age eating my great grandmas gandules rice. Never knew it was from my Puerto Rican roots until I grew up and started wanting to have it again. (I moved away when I was super young)

This is exactly what I’m talking about. Arroz con guanlules in Puerto Rico, Moro de guandules in dr. I just take the pigeon peas off mine

 

[darthska]
