What I Learned Dating A Jamaican Woman #shorts

Everything I've learned dating a Jamaican woman. One word: seasoning. Growing up, I was fed well, but when I met my partner, I discovered the true meaning of flavor. Sorry, Mom. I remember all the herbs and spices she was pulling out the drawers, thinking she was about to cast some kind of spell. It might as well have been a spell, cuz after tasting her fish, my taste buds were officially born. It's plantain, not plantain. For God's sake, do not go into a Jamaican household and say this incorrectly. I remember being at my partner's house when we were much younger, saying, gah, I love this plantain. All All of a sudden, the room went quiet. Her mom and her sisters turned their heads and looked at me like I'd just spoken profanity. I'm pleased to tell you that not only can I say plantain with the correct pronunciation according to Jamaicans, I can actually cook it now as well. Family gatherings can actually be fun. Now, I'm not saying I don't enjoy meeting up with my family, and I love them all dearly, but when I go to see my partner's Caribbean family, it's a proper party. I'm talking rum, mac and cheese, plenty of dancing, and a special punch made by one of the cousins that's so potent it could get a horse drunk. It is always a good party at Auntie Pam's house.
