@@ishmilky6287 I don't think Haiti is not represented. I believe it may be harder to find alot of Haitian Americans interested in content creation at BuzzFeed, the same goes for Trinis and Jamaicans. I will add that there is someone at Buzzfeed with Haitian heritage who did a video on Griot. Ps Haitians are technically Latinos

I truly cringe when people say plan-taain. 🙄 It's plan-tin. Period. 🇯🇲

[@gyams]

I truly cringe when people insist their pronunciation is the only acceptable one. People who eat it traditionally from many other parts of the world (e.g., Ghana, Nigeria) say "plan-tAYn" because that is the standard English pronunciation. "Ai" makes the AY sound in standard English (e.g., rain, wait, sail, chain). It's not wrong nor is the jamaican pronunciation wrong. Just different variations.

It’s by far the best juice I’ve ever had

[@TheMariemarie16]

I know because I live near the border of Mexico and my husband be craving sorrel and we saw it in the taqueria and in the grocery store called Jamaica. This made my husband upset because he is not Jamaican and he thinks Jamaica try to own everything Caribbean but he still buys it.

[@Lava_splash]

@@TheMariemarie16 😂😂

[@lovevalentinelove]

That's why its called Jamaica

[@madrobin]

does it have the same meaning/pronunciation as the island or is there another word for the island of jamaica in spanish

[@Rheabreezee43]

Why the trinis pretending that they never had sorrel ????????

[@venom5809]

😂😂😂

[@vantaeguk9043]

Different tastes I believe. The Jamaican version is probably different.

[@FrancoisDouglas]

Because I don't think sorrel is a huge deal for you guys the same way ginger beer isn't for Jamaicans at Christmas. The traditions continue but it isn't passed down in every family or to all generations.

[@Rheabreezee43]

Dougie Christie honestly sorrel is a very big deal. I’ve never had ginger beer, didn’t know it was even a thing here.

[@FrancoisDouglas]

@@Rheabreezee43 its a thing all over the Caribbean, what you guys call sugar cake, is called grater cake in Jamaica.

When the lady said "it's nice when different cultures have different names for the same things" I literally thought of it right before it was said, that coconut cake she was talking of sounds like a coconut candy from PR , I know sometimes it shows as Dulce De Coco but it's like coconut with sugar cane in a ball, sometimes a block, or big round and a little bulky like a cookie, but it taste amazing. I wonder if it's the same! :)
