Why is Caribbean food so over-hyped?

[Nak-Muay-Kru]

I've tried pretty most of the Caribbean staple dishes. Jerk chicken, rice and peas, beef patties, curry goat, dumplings, achee and salt fish etc. And it honestly just taste like shit. Everything's just too peppery and feel gritty in the mouth. The avg Somali takeaway place blows it out of the water.

I get that Windrush generation and their influence on culture and music played a big role in this, but why is caribbean food still so over-hyped?

Watch for anything ethnic food with lots of peppery, usually the meat is something cheap and atrocious, like snake, dog, or frog meat sold as chicken. The excess peppery is to cover the stench and make it palatable to your delicate mouth. Chinese are notorious for this

Beef patties is the only decent thing they got going.

I've noticed that horrible peppery, gritty texture in multiple restaurants. Its like some schiziphernic mesh-mash of Chinese, Indian and African flavours all roled into one.

beef patties and coconut bread is amazing but the rest is pretty garbage compared to somali food .

somali baris and oven baked goat is better than any carib goat curry .

you know who has the best carib food it would be the trinis with their indian influence and ancestors they have amazing currys and a food called doubles pretty good food .

especially chinese food they do that with their food all the time . they reheat food from another customers plate that they left . they use months old expired meat use batter and spices to cover the stench .

when chinese people in my college tell me dont eat at certain restaurants you know its fucked . they say they give non chinese the worst food and give the chinese clean food .
