we'll do that seal peel test that's come off we'll stick that there what we'll do I've got the other one in the microwave now I'll get this in here we'll have a look at this one while that other one's doing if you can see I'll get you in shot better that's better so get the rice out on one side yeah authentic what does it say authentic Jamaican recipe made in Britain I'll tell you what I was thinking about when I thought of this Levi roots the old reggae reggae sauce could um maybe get a dollop of that on the side reggae reggae sauce right there it is that's what you get it's absolutely piping hot it really is let me see if I can get a bit of better light for you yeah take you around being a bit of natural light coming in is that any better you can see better now with better light

it's like when it's done yeah right I'll get that off I won't lick it promise and I'll put it in for another two and a half minutes right this is the barbecue uh beef and sweet potato mash get that put that there have a look that's what you get look there's your sweet potato mash and there's your yeah your beef in there I better not mix it too much that beef might just fall apart and look like there's nothing in there but there is beef in there look you've seen it before didn't you when I stirred it so I'll what I'll do I'll put this I'll show you in a bit of a better light now there it is and uh I'll get it in a dish I'll spare you that and I'll join you at me table two dishes today so I'll try I'll try this one first because it was out first this is the um jerk barbecue chicken with rice and peas let's see what this is like so chicken chicken is like long and thin it's thigh isn't it it's all like yeah it's sort of shredded it's a two chili rating so that's medium spiced oh oh that is that is beautiful wow it is quite sweet yeah it is sweet but that is that is good them spices are not hot go there lovely you can taste them that is really good yeah the chicken there's not a lot of chicken in it no there's not a lot of chicken it's all the rice is a filler isn't it oh that is moorish that is good that that's a good one I'm suspect well I hope that this one is as good you've got to like sweet potato with this one though haven't you oh that is really good I'll tell you what I forgot I'll get a drink of water um before I try that one I'll go and do that now oh I got me water yeah that was very very nice let's try this one um there's me it's stuck all the sweet potatoes stuck so I'll get in there with a bit of beef um and the sauce as well um that's nice as well um there's another bit of beef there I'll just try it as it on its own I've got a lot of sweet potato there oh that is nice as well where's it gone I've got three three normal size and the other bits it's just all falling apart but it is tasty it's sweet as well they are both sweet mildly spiced um that potato is is is gone very dry yeah you can mix all that into that potato obviously and then it won't be dry um not overly salty very sweet though yeah let's have a look I'll just be interested in the sugar um I've got my glasses I was like straight I was thinking where my glasses are on my head um per pack you've got 29 grams of sugar yeah two grams of salt 56 carbohydrate that's that one and this one I would imagine this this is a bit sweeter yeah 31 grams of sugar in this one um 2.1 grams of salt 70 grams of carbohydrate yeah sweet they're sweet but they are tasty they are very tasty I'm going to give this one because I prefer this one more I'm going to give this one and I'm going to give it a good nine out of ten and this one I'm going to give an eight out of ten the beef one go I'm going in again with this one that's for sure it's a rich flavor as well yeah just get some you can I mean you don't need any reggae reggae sauce to be honest that's sweet enough as well isn't it but it um if you like it hot you can maybe stick some uh chili in there if you want it you know give it an extra bit of heat but it is tasty them spices are lovely it's authentic Jamaican made in Britain says on the more information there flatebox.co.uk if you want to have a look and you can they can be
