Jamie Oliver defends 'punchy jerk rice' product after accusations of cultural appropriation

Jamie Oliver has said he named his new product "punchy jerk rice" to show where he drew his culinary inspiration from, after he was accused of cultural appropriation by Labour MP Dawn Butler.


Shocking news , does this mean I should stop eating Chinese food and destroy my UB40 record collection ?

Whilst I don't think there should be any outrage over this, that's a shocking distortion of the point. But you probably know that, unless you're seriously dumb.

It’s like we are back in the 1980s with the PC brigade. Cultural appropriation is nonsense, Jamie can jerk as much as he wants, and from what I see ihe is a full time one

 

[mothy]

cultural appropriation is nonsense. people should be entitled to wear what they like etc etc.

 

[Stat Brother]

and destroy my UB40 record collection ?

Yes.

You should destroy your UB40 collection because it's tedious, whiny shite.

Both dumb and confused I guess .

What happens when they find out he is not Italian?

It's not about not being allowed to enjoy food or music from other cultures.

Here Jamie has supposedly taken a concept from another culture and distorted it in order to promote a product - that appears to be what the controversy is about.

Did you have a bad night ? That's quite aggressive for so early in the day.

its not really, its a logical consequence of the objection. we want more multiculturalism, more integration, but when someone embraces a culture and integrates with it, they are accused of the new heinous crime of "cultural appropriation".

which is it to be, integrate or keep cultures in separate boxes?

Jerk and Jamie Oliver fit very well together.

 

[heathgate]

Can we just give up with the outraged claims of "cultural appropriation" over every little thing?....We're supposed to be a diverse and inclusive society/world... let's embrace sharing clothes/food/music from elsewhere!

WTF are you on about?

The distortion is that it's got nothing to do with not being allowed to eat a food from another culture. Debate it all you like, but at least debate the right point.

One thing I would ban straight away is Chinese curry. It's just meat with mild curry sauce over it - although the sauce goes well with chips.

Nnn

The people moaning about Jamie Oliver doing this really need to have a word with themselves. Utterly mental. Is it cultural appropriation when someone who isn't Italian opens a chain of restaurants cooking cuisine from that country?

Just because a type of food or dish is from a particular country/culture, it does not give that group of people sole ownership of it.

Jeez, this makes me so angry. Where does this end? Are Heinz appropriating ‘ketchup’ which is believed to originate from China? Originally, ketchup recipes used egg whites, mushrooms, oysters, mussels or walnuts so Heinz can’t even get the ingredients right according to the outraged Ms Butler’s logic.
