I’ll have to think about what I’ve gotten from convenience stores besides Linden chocolate chip cookies and Tasty Kakes.
I first learned about bacon and egg sandwiches (on a roll) from a deli in Grand Central Station back in the mid 70s when I worked as a secretary (18 years old!) at J. Walter Thompson. Dee-licious. But pretty ordinary.
I wonder if the Jamaican beef patty is a variation of Cornish pasties brought from England. I can’t take Scotch Bonnets but those beef patties are delicious!
They’re exactly a variation on Cornish Pasties - they were developed in the Caribbean after the Cornish Pasties had been introduced there.
Traditionally, they’re made with Scotch Bonnets; but they’d be good with Jalapenos, too.
