tpiety2 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Are you a member of "Chicken Chokers Anonymous" ? You have the work permit etc? You like being beaten on by Thai's? Better off just calling it "I'm a Jerk." Why a Jerk??? More than likely his thai gf/wife would do it so no work permit or beatings and jerk chicken or pork is delicious. I've spent a lot of time in Jamaica and Thailand and I believe the Jamaican gai/moo is better. It's preparation and range of flavor fits right in with Thai street cuisine. I'll take a half chicken anytime I see your cart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I would love it! Even better, a Jamaican restaurant with good stuff like goat curry. But yes the jerk is the star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsiam Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Oh.....I thought jerk as in jerky....dried meat.....and the sauce being dried with it. Silly me.....still...if you play with it too much you'll still go blind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't figured that one out, I doubt you can do an authentic jerk. Edited January 29, 2012 by el jefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just sent me a link to "Rice and Peas"!! Beans may occasionally be substituted for peas but never, have I ever heard of a Jamaican dish called "rice and beans". On just about every other Caribbean island you can get arroz y frijoles, but not in Jamaica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiangmaibruce Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) Well you really do learn something new every day. Until seeing this thread I had never heard of jerk chicken. After noting some of the complimentary things said about it I used google to find/read the wikipedia entry and others. Certainly sounds tasty ... would like to try it sometime. Can you buy any of the jars of pre-mix powders or pastes here in LOS? Edited January 30, 2012 by chiangmaibruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWalkingMan Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Jerk chicken is real good. I had it only once in Jamaica from one of those guys selling it on the side of the street with an oil drum. Felt like I was walking through the hood. It was some tasty stuff.

Bruce, I've never seen it anywhere in Asia, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist, or that you can't make your own jerk marinade. In the US, my favorite is Walker's Woods. If you'd like, I can bring back a jar next time I'm there, but that won't be for several months. btw, buying pre-made jerk mix is no different than buying pre-made Thai curry mix rather than making your own from scratch.

ubuibi Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 As good as the jerk chicken is jerk pork is the real star and proper oxtail gravy for the rice and beans with a side of slo.. now your are talking rock star....or should i say raggae star..

CWMcMurray Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Popeye tried to open in Bangkok over 10 years ago. Thais just don't like beans etc. Sure they do.... but they use them in their desserts. But shouldn't be any problem to offer alternative side dishes more in line with Thai tastes for any of your Thai customers. Jerk Chicken is good stuff, so if you do open a stand in BKK, let me know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 It would be a new food for many people. As far as Thais, of course spicy food is popular, but I feel for a majority of Thais, they mean Thai style spices, and foreign spices are more of a Thai elite/trendy thing. Americans would usually know from jerk chicken, especially urban ones. I would assume Jamaican food is known in the UK due to immigration, isn't it? Hey, how about some spicy rotis and homemade ginger beer too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
