Mmmm - delicious. It is great to hear that you enjoy this Jamaican treat. I am sure that I had their patties in NY and there are mouthwatering for sure. Last year, I was in England and brought some home with me. I have tried making them - they were delicious but not exactly as they should me. Empanadas are nice but different from patties due to the spices.
Seems as athough you worked in a great multicultural environment - how fun.
