Binging with Babish: Jamaican Beef Patties from Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse

[@drs8922]

as a Jamaican, and growing up with these things, I am so happy to see it catch on in America. Beef patties are everything, crunchy, soft, creamy, spicy. Its nice seeing the love.

[@MatthewUrso]

We were served these for lunch in elementary school in the 80s. Didn't even know what they were back then. So many NYers grew up on these

[@Terahnee]

In the late 90s I spent 10 days in the Kingston area. I flew back with these being one of my favorite new things I tried. I still crave them but don't live anywhere that sells them locally. My option is to make them or get frozen ones.

[@hawkeyemadi]

Yea, you were waiting for white America. Black folks have been eating these.

[@Your-Least-Favorite-Stranger]

Sadly my only experience with these is dollar store frozen ones - but even those are delicious af.

[@Dell-ol6hb]

@@MatthewUrso when I was in school in nyc in the 2000s they were still a staple of elementary school lunch 😂

[@Wolfiyeethegranddukecerberus17]

At last, patties have gotten on the show! As a Jamaican, I'm very excited. Hoping Babish can make the curry shrimp patties. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

One of my favorite foods of all times. A bodega Jamaican beef patty is pure comfort. But knowing the home version is made by the hands of a New Yorker, I feel this is very well validated.

[@winstonedwards2014]

Babish is from Rochester :p

Babish isn't from New York he just moved there when he became a millionaire.

Don’t forget to make a little red dot with food coloring to mark the patties that have the spicy beef!

[@BugsyFoga]

It’s definitely great to see Babish handle a true Jamaican delicacy.

[@aquaabouttogetfunky]

Let me tell you, as someone from the Carribean who eats patties regularly, I was actually kinda gitty that it appeared in such a great big movie. Also even tho I am not Jamaican, it’s still the best patties. Especially the crispy flaky ones 😋

[@maggieholt6778]

Jamaican patties are available at pretty much every independently owned corner shop in my area of Toronto, I just hope people are aware of what a gift they gave to the world.

[@TomoDerp]

Awesome pfp

[@meagan.868]

Yessss

[@nomoretwitterhandles]

I think you meant "giddy", haha. But it's nice that you felt so happy about it, it's how I feel when my favorite niche foods make it into movies :D (edit: by "niche" I mean it rarely makes its way into big movies, usually we just see typical burgers and chicken and stuff.)

[@logandh2]

Unrelated but but it’s giddy, not gitty, just in case that’s a word you use regularly 😊

One of my favorite things to do with the store bought beef patties is to carefully split them open after cooking and add some irish cheddar. I know you can buy them with beef and cheese filling, but you can't buy them with my favorite cheese.

[@princeapoopoo5787]

I'm gonna try that next time I have one

[@lorddreemurr]

I've had a Jamaican patty made with a nice tender ground lamb. Absolutely wonderful

[@bl00dhoney]

lamb is my fave flavour

[@killpeoplewithhammersbrutally1]

for some reason, anything that isnt chicken makes me feel the weight of all the worlds guilt on my shoulders

[@ieuanhunt552]

I basically lived off pasties of all descriptions all through secondary school. Turns out squares of pastry is really versatile. You can take inspiration from any culinary tradition. Stuff it into an appropriate pastry and it will instantly improve it. You just have to be willing to experiment.

When I was kid in Harlem, some pizza parlors would also put pepperoni and mozzarella inside upon request. Also as the years go by, I’ve been more of a chicken patty guy. 😋

[@MatthewUrso]

Yeah man, this. Or pop over too the Bronx and grab one on some coco bread

Thank you for making me aware of that interview. That was a wild trip that got, and stayed, super heavy the entire video. Not sure it's what I wanted this morning, but I certainly needed it.

[@mr.m12345]

You are right, finding the suet is way harder then locating pre-made beef patties. It is totally worth the effort though, fresh made beef patties are amazing.

[@ryuhitsuya21]

Alright lets do this one more time

[@kcho760]

You did this justice! I grew up eating beef patties at my dad's deli all the time and it's still to this day my guilty pleasure. They look great!

[@HashimThaDream]

Arguably the greatest Caribbean street food of all time! Thank you for doing it justice Babish! Hope you try other Caribbean foods in the future!

[@VyceofMataMertha]

As a half Jamaican myself, I wholeheartedly approve of all of this. Thanks BCU!

[@superyaoigirl]

I used to get so excited when they served these for lunch in elementary school. The lunch ladies were so nice because they would give me two knowing I would only eat the inside 😅

[@GigaMarx4213]

The Golden Krust patties were my favorite thing in some of my childhood lunches. I look forward to trying this recipe since I always wanted to eat a (close to) authentic one.

[@sojourn5606]

As a Trini, I’ve never seen anyone put cheese in a patty, but you might like it with cocoa bread (with or without cheese)

[@Orion-xc9rk]

In Jamaica its very common we just call it cheese patty

[@tattoedpassport]

Chee-z patty is the BESTTTTTTT

[@Kingsnorelax]

It is more of Jamacian/NYC type of thing.

[@ChewiiCrumbz]

yeah they have cheese in some of them! i always order the spicy beef but ive seen some with cheese, i think a vegetable one, fish one, and we already know chicken

[@LanternsLight]

At a Jamaican place in Florida they used to have a Jamaican patty combo, it was a patty(chicken for me) topped with American cheese on a hot piece of coco bread.

[@DylanMurray360]

This looks delightful. Today at work (I’m loss prevention) I saw a 90 year old woman trying to dismantle a security device using a Babish knife. It was one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever seen. Just thought I’d share that.

[@brandoncruz64]

I love how you do a step forward to recreate the original experience!

[@m.lanzoni9306]

Jamaican patties are also quite common here in Costa Rica. We Costa Ricans call them "patí" here, and we make them with either ground beef or chicken. We also add it hot pepper. And definitely our patties do NOT have cheese, especially that American cheese that is not even real cheese.

[@seanharrison6162]

Tbh we rarely say patties. Patty is singular and plural

[@chads7796]

That was not a Scotch Bonnett that you used. Scotchies literally look like bonnets, have a shorter fatter shape, and are not as waxy/smooth looking on their skin. That was a Habenero! They are not the same. Scochies are fruity, spicy, and have an amazing flavor. Habeneros are just hot w/no true flavor. Habeneros are like store-bought mangos, they are just not the same. A Scotch Bonnett is like a Julie or Bombay Mango and full of tropical flavor.

[@d-gab2864]

As a Jamaican, I feel so recognized. Thanks Andrew

[@tomoehawk]

Jamaican patties have started popping up in UK shops all over in the last couple of years, but they don't seem super popular yet because I always find them in the reduced section. Have literally never paid full price for one. I am ok with this.

[@reece42069]

Agreed I am a big fan of patties available in the UK, if you ever find yourself in Newcastle go try the patties available at Levs!

[@bluesdjben]

I made the filling for this recipe and then tried using puff pastry as the shell. Also, since I wasn't making my own dough, I put 1.5 teaspoons of curry in the filling to make up for not having it in the shell. The filling tastes amazing. The puff pastry was too thick though, and the filling kind of got lost in it. I still have about half the filling left over, so I think tomorrow I'm going to just serve it with some rice and additional veggies so I can really enjoy that spiced beef flavor.

[@riusaldregan]

Mad props for attempting to recreate the inverted chomp, that's the level of attention to detail that keeps me coming back, rofl

[@rajvinder89]

Being from Toronto these were a staple snack growing up and today. I was lucky, since my HS was in a Jamaican neighbourhood so we had a bakery up the street that sold fresh baked ones. Very few things hit like a piping hot spicy beef patty after school!

[@merrychristmasreaper]

"Browning sauce" Is usually some sort of savory element, by the way. While you can use gravy master, my family's always usbstituted with yoshida's soy sauce!

[@little_leaf]

No browning is according to the bottle in my cupboard: caramel, water and some spices. So just browned suger water and spice. it's also used in Christmas cake/fruit cake making so not really savoy more so spiced.
