Believe it, guys! I handcrafted Jamaican patties for my Taiwanese friends. I wanted to share some grub from another small island nation half-way around the world.
I got all of the ingredients from a combination of the 7-11 and fruit/veggie stand across the street. Some improvisation was needed and is as follows...
ground beef → ground pork (often used here to make dumplings)
thyme → parsley
dry bread crumbs → crushed soda crackers
beef broth → instant beefs noodles seasoning packet
Scotch Bonnet pepper → red chili pepper
convection oven → rusting toaster oven

And I transformed the Restaurant Station at English Village into a cooking class.
My Chinese teacher, Zhan 老師, and I had a "cuisine exchange" before class. She treated me to cabbage pickled in passion fruit. Total sweet and sour goodness. Below she skillfully consumes her patty with chopsticks. 台灣 swag!
