I was driving down 441 headed to Miami when the desire for some "immigrant" patties hit me. I knew there was a Taste Rite location along the way so I decided to pop in.
There are only two places where I buy patties, the Taste Rite location in Pines and Five Star Bakery in Lauderhill, which the latter wins hands down.
This location is tiny, and it's only take-out. They have some of the more popular items I'd find at a Jamaican bakery like hardo bread, bulla, gizzadas, puddings, and spice buns...but everyone primarily comes for one thing, the patties.
Their patties come in beef, curry chicken, vegetable, jerk chicken, seafood, shrimp, callaloo, lobster, shrimp, and fish.
I ordered a curry chicken, ackee & saltfish, and a curry shrimp.
I ate all of them pretty quick, one right after the other. They were all pretty moist & tasty, and each one had a nice flaky crust. Curry is my favorite spice, so anything with curry is a palatial circus for me.
But what came next I didn't expect at all, as I was headed down the I-95 I started to play my favorite Michael Jackson song," I don't know if I'm Black or White". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2AitTPI5U0
This only happens when I'm really satisfied.
