Jerk Sauce? Quite Frankly, I Beg to Differ!

Where did Marks & Spencer get the idea for their Jamaican jerk sauce? They could never have gotten their recipe from anyone who knows anything about real jerk sauce. Their sauce looks like the kind of doo-doo that babies release when they’re fed on breast milk and it doesn’t smell much different either.

They’ve added coconut milk as one of the key ingredients as well as lime and white wine vinegar! What a frigging liberty to call this concoction JERK? Who do M&S think they are? Just making up stuff and chucking in any old thing and then giving it a name that’s a total lie? I’m not very happy about it!

Who did they consult when they put this mish-mash of ingredients together? Not a Jamaican, surely not. M&S are welcome to approach my old man for his recipe, he’d be happy to advise them for free! Or maybe M&S should go to the Papine Centre or Cottons Restaurant for some advice on their ingredients – there’s no shame in asking for help. Better still, they should have sent one of their representatives to Jamaica so that they could sample the Boston Beach Jerk Pork (or Chicken if their rep is a Rastafari). At least M&S would get an idea of what authentic jerk is really supposed to taste like.

When I’m on my death bed, I want my last meal to be my dad’s jerk pork, even if I can't eat it, just smelling it would be good enough. If I’m given that M&S bull**** to sniff, I’ll pull the plug on the life support machine myself!
