Things that made you KISS YOUR TEETH

[PatricksRum]

When a family member (white) tried to order egg on toast in Turtle Bay as the food "looked disgusting."

[quote ImitatingAdulthood]@PatricksRum Kelloggs factory 🤣 that one got me. Definitely canerow though.[/quote]

Corn row hurts my head.

I like hard food! 😳😂 although there's always lots left after I've finished eating everything so perhaps not as much as I think. I pick at it when it's in the fridge though

Also... there's plantAin and plantin, but does anybody else get the rage when they hear "PlarntAin"

It's PLAN. Not PLARN!! It makes me think of a man with a monocle saying that he's got a few plarntains in his gar-aarge from the locals he met on his cruise to the ca-ribbean 😂

It's CARIB-BEAN!!

I need a cup of tea.

Oh my

I remember I was on a bus once. A middle aged white man came and sat beside me.
For some reason he started telling me that he'd just been to the Carib-eanS. When I started talking about my culture he then told me I'm pronouncing it wrong. 😒

I stay well out of the plantain row, but pre Covid, my mates BBQ (African and Caribbean) descended into chaos when someone asked for it.

From origins, how to pick, cook, pronounce and pass on the legacy to the next generation was discussed.

Great ice breaker at any party 🤣🤣🤣

I know this guy.

He's half Nigerian and half Ghanaian. His families are always beefing. Apparently they can't have dinner together 😂

"When I started talking about my culture he then told me I'm pronouncing it wrong."

😂🤣😂🤣

If I'd read that a few days ago I would have been shocked, but after everything now I'm thinking 'yeah, that makes sense'

@PatricksRumive images of a man sitting at the table picking. Up a fork and stating ‘who cooks the best jollof’. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

That caused also caused chaos at the BBQ, but I could join in with that one

Have any people on this thread seen Famalam on BBC iPlayer? It's a comedy sketch show with black actors and I think it's amazing (sometimes a bit on the nose). They often do African family sketches and then every day examples of stereotypes, sometimes they do Caribbean pisstakes as well.

I can easily get carried away, I'm going to link one more clip here and then back away from YouTube

Hadn't seen it before AMeme but will be watching it now.

The different ways of saying Caribbean. The english way or the American way. I grew with the american way. I had to get used to saying it differently. Carib- bean or
ca -rib-bean. Like coriander.

The best plantain is roasted like cassava on a BBQ.😁 followed by deep fried.

@creativecringe that's the way I say it! I think, spelling sounds is difficult 😅. The emphasis on the 'rib' part is what makes me kmt. Carib, as in the Caribs, not ca-rib. Like a skeleton 💀

I discovered famalam after the Drillagram went viral - hilarious!

We started watching Real McCoy returns too 😁

DH (Nigerian) always had a love/hate relationship with one white guy he worked with (this guy went to Oxford and acted like posh royalty). So, this guy invited DH to his backyard BBQ. Well imagine the shock on DH's face when the guy pulled out a mountain of plantain to roast . He apparently grew up in Venezuela, so of course, he knows plantain very well. It's all love/love since then... because of plantain 🤣

The real McCoy! I love Auntie and Hyacinth!!! I sent the restaurant one to my sister in law because since Covid that's exactly how she's been

Who isn't like this now? (the video I've mentioned above)

You see @JayDot500 , plantain can solve world conflict! 😂

I had no idea the drillogram went viral, but I must have watched that video about twenty times already so I'm not surprised, it's hilarious!

Omg @Jaydot that YouTube clip is do relatable now during corona virus 🤭

So re the plantin v plantain debate, as someone of Ghanaian heritage I grew up pronouncing it plantain. DH is Jamaican heritage and after 20 odd years, he’s won, it’s plantin in our house. I feel like I’m disgracing my ancestors every time I say it. What we can all agree on is kelewale is the BEST way to have them. Fact.

Only people I hear saying cornrows often also call them say corn rolls...that makes me KMT.

Lol I know a guy like this. He admitted Ghanaian jollof was the best and it almost ended in death.

Love Famalam the vegan skit 🤣🤣🤣

Came on to share the Famalam love. Look it up on bbc iPlayer - I’m a big fan!
