worth a listen if you give a f*ck whether they thi k its cultural appropriation , and i dont im afraid.

It's a good job nobody gives a flying what you think then isn't it Bushy :lolol: You moan on and on and on about being a minority in your own country and all this other nonsense but really it's just the case that no one cares about your ignorant and ill-thought-through opinions.

Cultural appropriation is getting so over-used.

This is just a crap product and basically break trading standards.

It's like selling curried chicken and opening the packet to discover lemon sole.

It's not cultural appropriation, it's cultural assassination.

Not really... "Jerk" has no restricted meaning (whereas "Champagne", "Melton Mowbray" Pork Pies, "Parma" Ham, etc do have restrictions - you can't just use those words whenever you like).

Its like selling 'Yorkshire Dessert'... some people might expert to get a Yorkshire Pudding but its not a breach of trading standards if its Lemon Sole.

I kind of think that Jamie knew he was tapping into the Jamaican Jerk cooking though, which is a style of cooking. Don't you?

It sounds like he's just misused the word.
