Panama Vs. Jamaica: Who Has The Best Patty?

This is the first time I see Panama being represented properly in any Buzzfeed channel ever. ¡VIVA PANAMÁ! 🇵🇦❤️ Btw, we also make them baked and they look very similar to the jamaican ones! This empanadas are mainly found in the Provinces of Bocas del Toro and Colón, where we have the most Afro-Caribbean descent.

[@jayla6975]

[@delirium129]

Yup, Jamaican patties are common in Bocas and Colon. I prefer baked empanadas over fried ones, and fried ones made with a wheat flour dough over fried ones made with a corn dough. Pero igual, cualquier empanada es buena 😋😋😋🥟🥟🥟

[@curiousone6435]

Team Colon!

[@armandobramwell5798]

An Afro Panamanian chef here! what about a 101 in all Panamanian empanadas: corn, flour, fried, baked, plantain tart!? everything! 🇵🇦

[@Sonny1065LV]

This is a great idea, Panamanian food doesn't get talked about enough.

[@Anyeeh26]

Plantain tartss!! Hands down my favorite empanadaa!

[@delirium129]

¡Ayyyy, plantintá! 🥟🍌🤤🤤🤤

[@mo9633]

Facts we be a mix wit it use anything lotta mixed cultures down there

[@sourcesandmethods]

In all fairness, a lot of our culinary influences in Panama come from the West Indies due to the large influx of workers from Trinidad, Barbados and Jamaica during the construction of the Panama Canal. I do love empanadas but I realize that there’s a heavy Jamaican influence in our culture and cuisine which is awesome!

[@candidreamy9685]

As a person of Jamaican heritage, I have a lot of family of Panamanian descent. Many people from Jamaica and other Caribbean islands emigrated to Panama to build the canal. So there are many Panamanians who are of Jamaican and Afro Caribbean descent. We are cousins❣️

So I'm Panamanian and my family is of Jamaican descent and the overlaps between both cultures is very extense. Everything from to the food, music to even Jamaican Patois still passed down to newer generations

This is great because Panama is hardly represented in the media. Thank you for this, shoutout to Jamaica though, black Panamanians and Jamaicans are very closely related!!

I’m Puerto Rican and Trinidad so I have the patties on both sides so one side calls it the empanadas and the other is beef or chicken patties

kalifa charles my family calls it patties ever since I was a young lad so 🤷🏾‍♂️ but thank you for the correction and I’m Panamanian

Next we should do Empenadas Vs. Haitian 🇭🇹 beef patties. My boyfriend is Haitian and their food is excellent as well! Quite a few Haitians actually living in Panama as well.

[@panamike6178]

Panama uses culantro in their recipes, and that's a game changer. NOT cilantro but culantro. Huge difference.

[@misspanama6963]

Very true...Now you making me think about Sofrito that my mother makes from scratch for me!

[@curiousone6435]

I grew up in Panama and I miss it so much. The corn-based empanadas are the best. The other empanadas I've tried from elsewhere are too dense -- you could build biceps just holding them and you have to chew so much, your jaw muscles get tired. To me, an empanada should be deeply fried, light and flaky, and the filling should be well-seasoned --- I agree with that is so important!!!!

[@maricarmenmontilla6284]

Great video 👏🏻 Love from Panamá 🇵🇦

[@skullfc4215]

I thought they were going for the traditional panamenian empanada which is made of corn 🌽. This style is from a province calle Colon which is basically an Afro decent place, that’s why the empanada looks similar to the Jamaican one.

[@studyandcoffee2211]

Guys you don’t know how good Jamaican patty is. The og ones from tasty man! The crust in the end that’s the best part 😭
