Being Jamaican…I gotta leave Roti to the Trinis and Guyanese. Their Roti’s are just top tier. It’s that direct Indian influence.

[@kaylajoyner8428]

Ayeee 🟢⚪🟡⚫🔴

[@antwonebeckford3506]

@Adam A. but still a lot of Roti is served in Jamaican not as a household thing but as a street food at alot of side shops in the capital When I first tasted it I was like what is this and my father told me and said he had this a lot growing up even. Even thou it’s hardly made now in modern day Jamaica

[@FlyBoiQ1]

I have to try a Jamaican roti but I have tried it from Guyanese and Trinidadian and I’ll give it to Trinidad

[@amerlv1]

Thank you!!!

[@AlwaysTubin9213]

Guyanese Roti is 🔥 my college roommate was Guyanese and one time she brought me a plate her mom made; and wow, I’ve never found food that tasted like that since 😋

[@baltimoreboy42]

Surprisingly the man was the most judgmental. How do you say something was delicious then give it a 6? I’m hungry for Roti now.

[@dymandmadison7320]

That’s what I’m saying. He was hating 🤣 like really a 6? You could’ve gave her a 7.5 or a 8 at least

There is always that one person that swears they are killing it but get scored low and they try overly critique others. Claude was that person this round lol. Congrats to Miss Daena on the win and the humble nature she displayed :).

[@melissamohan8603]

I am Trini and no disrespect to the Jamaican lady but curry and roti is two different things. She kept going on about the burning etc, that is not roti but the filling you put in it. Roti is the actual flatbread. In Trinidad we do various types- breakfast roti is usually Sada eaten with a vegetable talkarie* Dhalpurrie is usually wrapped with curried or stewed meats and a side & Paratha(buss up shut) is broken up so dipped into the curries and veg. Popular at weddings & celebrations such as Divali. It has others like Dosti, pepper roti etc but the top 3 are the most common.

[@LadyASolveg]

All this. It hurts my heart when people act like roti is one specific thing. Or don't understand anything surrounding it. Reading all that making me miss my aunt's sada with baigan choka. And she don't know anything about slight pepper lol 😆 😂 😋

[@umsami]

Thank you. I was confused because I consider roti just to be the bread. The other stuff can be eaten with roti... but actual roti is just the bread. Having said that, I'm up for a doubles throwdown.

[@hamidahamida5950]

Agreed. Poorly done episode.

[@user-dv3kq3rm4h]

You can clearly see she is a BLACK Jamaican woman. What you think she know about Diwali, Dosti an Dhalpurrie? - stop it, you're comment is too arrogant. Jamaica has it's own specific dishes and roti isn't a specialty. Yes the woman got the meaning wrong, it's just the bread- but everything else you mentioned is very INDO-Caribbean specific. Hell, even most Indo-Jamaicans don't do all that.

[@zochbuppet448]

Its trinis, or maybe black trinis who a spread wrong info...telling the rest of the Caribbean that roti name Roti skin. Why didnt you guys correct them. I can tell you that if you give Guyanese buss - up- shirt, they will ask you if you head mad, and if you dont know to make roti. And its Trinidadians who first sold roti and curry wrapped up for workers in Trinidad, so blame yourself. Selling Indo originated food at restaurants and take out places is a more recent thing in Guyana, except the snack which were always sold at the roadside by any race.

[@dandles2010]

I liked Addis. I thought she was going to rip on everyone, but ... she didn't. I love that she gave a 9.8. Great episode and now I want to try their roti. Looked delicious.

[@antwonlhaynes6581]

Right, I agree. I think they should bring more people on that give an honest opinion of the dish, without saying something back handed.

[@TheeJoieDeVivreGarden]

I thought the same thing! So proud of her!

[@Rosannasfriend]

She seems like a very honest person who wasn’t caught up in trying to win.

[@sugakookies1710]

They should have more than 3 more to make it more fair

[@akindele13]

Roti and Doubles should be strictly left to Trinis and Guyanese folls

[@KevinFarrick]

A Trini enters the chat: Look, allyuh! First of all, allyuh get we flag wrong! 🇹🇹 dis is we flag! Next up, roti and curry is two different tings. And den, why you didn’t get some actual Caribbean nationals from Trini, Guyana and Suriname for this. I will end with this…Steups! 😂

[@vonmitchell3921]

[@lalarose5913]

[@erianjeffers4461]

Came to the comments just for the flag discrepancy!!!!

[@MrLylehammer]

I'm American (but my parents are Jamaican) and I feel as though they should have had more Trini and Guyanese people in this video. Those countries make the best roti in the Caribbean and that's what they're known for. Roti is not commonly eaten in Jamaica, it's not a staple of Jamaican cuisine. Also, having Indo-Caribbean people in this video would also be great, they are the reason why roti was brought to the Caribbean in the first place.

[@MsCinderella1989]

[@rumncurry]

That’s because we’d pull up with dhal phuri and they’d have no chance.

[@Fm4lg]

The contest was for Caribbeans not South Americans 😈

[@jas728xo]

@Fm4lg lol.... Guyana is CULTURALLY Carribean. It shares many more similarities with all the Carribean countries. You can also look up CARICOM. But, if we want to get technical, roti was taken to MANY other countries, especially Carribean countries by Indian indentured labors. In 1838, the first ship arrived in Guyana from India. That's why we know a thing or two about roti, and it would've been justified to include a Guyanese person in the video. That's all...

[@Fm4lg]

@@jas728xo I agree a Jamaican had no business in this competition and they should of had a proper full trini and a South American Guyanese 🇬🇾 😝

[@hamidahamida5950]

This competition should have been between a Trini, Guyanese and Surinamese. It would have then been an honest representation of a Caribbean roti competition.

Guyana and Trinidad. Those are the 2 that needed to the there. The rest of us just make roti and curry. It's not in our blood.

I love Addi’s attitude. She’s not gunning to win nor does she believe that her dish is the best and unbeatable. She’s just there to have fun and eat some good food (for clarification, none of the contestants in this video had that attitude, but often there is one person who does and then they unfairly rate the dishes of others. I’m just saying Addi is an absolute vibe)

Yes a lot of Caribbean (even African countries like Kenya) food is heavily influenced by south Asian cuisine cuz of slaves being brought over from South Asia. Surprised how many south Asians are ignorant to this.

As a person who grew up in the caribbean. The Windward Islands st. Lucia, Barbados, st. Vincent , grenada, Trinidad, guyana are very under represented in a lot of “Caribbean” videos. Especially when we share a lot of similar dishes which some other islands, Jamaica for example don’t make. So a lot of the “caribbean “ videos are very hard to relate to sometimes.

[@kelsiehaynes954]

Yes, i agree 100%. I was gonna comment exactly the same thing. I personally couldnt identify with the look of these roti.

[@rocksta201012]

Y’all have to remember this is filmed in the US. Jamaicans make up the highest immigrant population of all black people in the US. St. Lucia, Grenada, these populations are already small, let alone the number of immigrants in the US. Cocoa butter def seems to be trying their best.

@@rocksta201012 I’m aware of the differences in populations. But it doesn’t mean they’re that hard to find as ppl have been migrating and settling for years. It happens alot here in the UK where they usually use one country to represent/classify the entire Caribbean when there’s a lot of things the rest of us don’t relate to.

Just like how Trinidad and Guyana and other islands have Indians in it so does Jamaica every Caribbean island have Indian in it, and therefore they're going to bring their culture with them and their food which include roti so every island do make roti.

Its not Indian curry. Its Guyanese or Trinidadian curry. You get Indian curry from India. If you want a stronger tasting curry get the one from one of the two. You want a very light curry get the Jamaican curry. But I now even see Jamaicans putting whole spices in Curry which we dont even do in Guyana, like cumin

Only to realize that the Trini rep is not really a Trini and doesn't know how to cook coz she had to ask her Trini cousin on the phone how to cook roti and curry🤣🤣🤣. This is what you call a failed contest.
