I don't know the full ingredients for this product... but based on the front packaging, they have a point. The flavouring sounds Mexican at best... there is no chili in jerk seasoning recipes traditionally. There are specific types of hot peppers and such. So I do see why the question is asked... do you even know what jerk chicken is

But then don't call it what it isn't?
Looks and is seasoned as Mexican rice... call it Mexican seasoned rice

You just said you don’t know the full ingredient list...if there is a jerk seasoning in it he can call it jerk..it’s up to him, pretty sure he went through all the legalities before naming it

[smudgie]

He should just call it "The Jerks Rice".

Jamie's team
have every right to use the word Jerk.


[History

Jamaican jerk sauce developed as an adaptation by escaped enslaved
Coromantee Africans in Jamaica. When the British invaded Jamaica in 1655
the Spanish colonists fled, leaving behind a large number of African slaves.
Rather than be re-enslaved by the British, they escaped into Jamaica's mountainous
regions where they mixed in with the local Taínos.]

I don’t even like Jamie Oliver but i like that silly woman alot less.

Well said, Paul, but I think I could put it more succinctly if more subtly:

Why don't you just **** OFF out of politics you stupid whinging, TEDIOUS twat and stop stealing public money pretending to be working for the 'common good' when all you are doing is using your position to push your own ludicrous agendas.

And take the other dozen or so of your like-minded cronies with you - starting with Abbott.

Jerk rice... well, that's an interesting choice of a name for food

Always thought the cultural appropriation trend was an awful disaster, but this one is the funniest so far.
Don't get me started on what you sell as Humus in your supermarkets, Brits.

I think Jamie is getting carried away with the whole Caribbean theme , he knows it's a popular brand and it will gain him publicity and make money .

The mistake he's made is putting JERK as the label, it's not Jerk rice atall . He's false advertising so understandably people are irritated with him . There's nothing wrong with him doing Caribbean food , Levi Roots even taught him some Jamaican cooking .

But The ingredients Jamie has used DOES sound more like a Mexican theme , i think he should of just named it something else and put his own label on it rather that taking Jerk which clearly he's clueless about, the seasoning & ingredients are not authentic to what he's supposedly portraying .

He should of named it something like 'Jamie's exotic rice' or 'spice cuisine' , his name is famous enough so why not use that . Nothing wrong with having Caribbean inspired food but what he's dong IS misleading . it's just an instant rice with some spices .

Makes me laugh to think a black woman thinks Jamie calling his product 'jerk rice' is cultural appropriation... but I've heard not a word about them casting a black woman to play Emmeline Pankhurst at the Old Vic. Can you IMAGINE the outcry if they made a film of the life of Maya Angelou and cast Meryl Streep?
