"If you haven’t stood in Sainsbury’s Crystal Palace’s car park shovelling jerk pork belly into your mouth and sucking the meat of smoky chicken leg that would make the Marlboro man do a double take, you haven’t eaten jerk properly in London. Tasty Jerk, a takeaway-only joint opposite Selhurst Park, is the most elite Jamaican spot in London. Its pork belly marries a ludicrously charred and crunching exterior with melt-in-your-mouth fat, while the chicken surrenders from the bone almost immediately. Hunch over the counter if you like or find your own space in the big Sainsbury’s behind. Either way, get extra homemade jerk sauce. It’s better than water." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
