I havnt had them in a minute, they used to sell them in the convenience store when I was a kid for like a dollar
I think the last time I got them was in the grocery store in like 2013 or something, I remember buying a pack of frozen ones years ago, and the grocery store had a microwave you could use in a little sitting area and I ate the whole pack there, but they got rid of the microwave/sitting area for more floor space, they sell sushi now
I just got a huge craving so I looked up how to make them, I found this https://www.thespruceeats.com/jamaican-beef-patties-recipe-2137762 but it looks a little complicated
then I typed it into walmart.ca website and they came up as in stock in my store, and almost sold out in surrounding stores, so I hope my store continues to keep them in stock for a while cause I dont know when im eating again, but maybe ill break my fast to eat a beef patty

I dont know if its just nostalgia or they are one of my favourite junkfoods

Never heard of 'em. Sounds like something I could get into on my few nights a month I set aside for gastric debauchery. What makes them 'Jamaican' ?

idk, I think they are a common item sold in road side stalls in Jamaica, maybe the meat is spiced with Jamaican spices too or something

Jamaican kids I knew growing up were into em so I assume they are somehow authentic. They said they had them with coco bread which I never tried.

Yeah I thought it was weird, the patty itself is made partly of bread. Or I guess pastry. But it's like a double dose of bread.

there is beef in the patty, what he was saying is they would eat a pastry filled with beef between two pieces of bread

Did not realize you had misunderstood, I thought you were throwing some sarcasm my way about the wording.

Re: Cosmic Eye I haven't been to a 7 11 in a long time. They use to make something called a 'Truck Stopper' which was a 6 inch long patty with gross gravy splat and onion bits. I can still imagine punishing myself with one of those under the right circumstances.

Oh no, not at all psi -this is the problem with text-only communication, there will always be misunderstandings. No probs -we're cool.

It's like a Sloppy Joe in a shell right? The people of Northern Michigan are called Yoopers and they eat something like that. I can't remember what they call it though. I'll look it up quick.
EDIT.............
It's called a Pasty. Very similar to a pattie, but has veggies and looks better.

Jamaican patties are poor food. They feed you and they are good for that. Ive never had a good one but i do respect them. Maybe there are good ones. I heard theres agood place in toronto that sells them with shrimp woah shrimp but ive only had basic ones and they suck other than the fact that they fill u up for cheap. Jamaican patties to me remind me of when i was broke and could afford nothing else.

Yep. I remember getting some somewhere as we were leaving Michigan one of the times we were up there to visit the grandparents.

Yeah I think you are right in calling them pasties (not the things my ex use to wear to work on her titties, it is pronounced differently). But a different ex use to buy them at this coffee shop that was owned by british/irish people. It was made up of ground beef onions and spices from what I remember.

I just thought of another food that is similar. The Empanada. Are these foods trying to mimic the empanada because empanadas are actually really good when done right, a pasty is not.

Beef patties are fire.
I was eating them while I was visiting a friend in Brooklyn.
Haven’t had one since. Been like 4 years.
