AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
“The Jamaican patty has a crusty, super flaky pie dough. The dough is spiced with curry powder and turmeric, giving it a nice yellow color. Inside is a spiced beef mixture that tastes like pepper beef or chili con carne. It's only £2.50. I've been waiting 3 years for this moment — I used to buy 50 patties and store them in the freezer. This is one of the things I missed the most about London.”
