How that takes me back. I worked on upper GA AVE in DC in the 80s in a crappy building with a little store in the lobby. The owner was Horace, a Jamaican guy whose wife made these patties every morning. The whole store smelled like curry. All these years later i still remember that scent. I just wish that they didn’t spice the coffee. That was undrinkable.

I think they’re kind of an ‘East Coast’ thing, in the US. I’d be interested to know if folks in the Midwest and West are familiar with them.

Minto Jamaican Market (Oakland, CA, Broadway near 40th) sells the patties. I tried one and was unimpressed. It tasted like a Banquet TV dinner Salisbury steak.
