FFXIV Write Entry #16: Allspice or Nothing

Prompt: jerk || Master Post || On AO3

A/N: Listen, I see the word "jerk," I automatically think of the jerk chicken from my favorite Jamaican restaurant, and I get hungry, and I write some minor food porn with character interactions. You're welcome.

--

It was a warm day in Sharlayan, almost unusually so, and so G’raha decided to walk to the harbor from the Baldesion Annex rather than take the aetheryte. He had offered to pick up from Customs a crate of artifacts that the Students of Baldesion had been waiting to receive, since Krile was running herd on Dancing Heron and Alakhai during their treatments and Ojika was neck deep in cataloging an earlier shipment. And taking a detour for lunch at the Last Stand was a happy bonus.

The joys of no longer being limited by a student’s stipend.

A flash of familiar pink caught his eye as he turned onto the Last Stand’s open patio, and G’raha turned his head to see Rereha, Synnove, and Urianger clustered around one of the tables. Curious; Rereha and Synnove were supposed to be on limited bedrest, though they had greater freedom of movement than Heron and Alakhai. Of course, things could change day to day, and the healers must have decided the pair were physically hale enough for an excursion out into the city, especially a relatively short to the Last Stand considering the hospital’s proximity to the harbor.

“Hello, my friends!” G’raha called out as he approached. The trio turned, all three smiling, and Rereha waved him over, patting the spot in front of the empty fourth chair at their table. He pulled out the chair and sat, leaning forward to rest his forearms on the table. “It’s wonderful to see you in the sunlight again. What’s the occasion?”

“Today,” Rereha said reverently, “is the first day we are allowed flavor once again.”

G’raha blinked. Sharlayan hospital food wasn’t that bad, as the nutritionists were well aware that palatable, even tasty, food made long-term convalescence less of a struggle to endure for patients. He turned to Synnove, bewildered, for a translation.

“We’re being allowed to eat spicy things,” Synnove said with equal relish.

“Oh!” G’raha smiled, then said to Urianger. “I suppose that means you’re the adult supervision.”

Urianger inclined his head with a smile, ignoring Rereha and Synnove’s grumbling. “Just so,” he said. “And to provide succor should today’s meal proveth too much for their constitutions.” He rolled a gently glowing light between his fingers for emphasis.

“Also he is a fellow spice demon and wants in on the goods,” Rereha said.

Urianger merely smiled as G’raha laughed.

“You want in, too?” Synnove said.

“I wouldn’t say no to lunch,” he said with a smile. “What are you having?”

“A spiced chicken dish!” Rereha said cheerfully. “We’re getting a big platter to split, should be plenty for four.”

“The recipe’s from one of the island nations northeast of Yok Tural,” Synnove said, “at least per Dickon, which was per the trader he got the recipe from.”

G’raha’s tail flicked with interest. “I think I’ve heard of this dish,” he said slowly. “Didn’t Dickon build a new grill just to smoke it correctly?”

“Aye,” Urianger said. “Master Dickon hath always gone above and beyond to ensure as much authenticity as is feasible for his menu. Though he hath also created a milder blend for those of Sharlayan without the…experienced palates for a full dose of bonnet pepper.”

“Which we are not having, thanks,” Rereha was quick to interject.

Ooooh, Turali bonnet peppers. Those didn’t often make it from Tural to the Old World markets, similar as they were to only-slightly-easier to acquire Meracydian bonnet peppers, but the Turali variety were much hotter. G’raha suspected that the physicians back at the hospital had no idea what Rereha and Synnove were about to subject their tastebuds to. Not that he could blame them; the Crystarium’s botanists did not have hot peppers high on their list of cultivars to breed back into existence, and he had perhaps been a bit unwise himself in indulging in heavily spiced foods when he had returned to the Source.

It had been well worth it, and Rereha and Synnove would likely the same about their escapades today.

Soon enough, a heaping platter arrived with large platers of the spiced chicken, steaming rice, and fried sweet plantains. The waitress quickly fetched G’raha dishware and utensils, plus a tall glass of raspberry shrub, and soon enough the four Scions had filled their plates with plenty still to eat as their appetites allowed.

G’raha hummed with delight at his first bite of the chicken. Perfectly tender and juicy, the skin charred and smokey in contrast. The spice itself was exquisitely blended; he could pick out allspice and nutmeg and garlic, and the heat from the peppers deepened the taste. The peppers themselves weren’t an immediate explosion of pained heat, either, rather slowly building up with every bite. He was careful to alternate bites of the chicken with rice and plantains, or a sip of the shrub.

Synnove and Rereha, however, were attacking the chicken with gusto, and quite frankly didn’t seem to give a single damn about the heat, heedless of the tears that were streaking down their cheeks. Urianger kept an eye on them even as he sedately worked through his own plate.

“I am,” Rereha said after swallowing, “in so much pain right now, and I am so happy about it.”

Synnove made a noise of agreement, then swallowed and said, “Heron and Alakhai are going to be furious.”

“Well it’s not our faults we didn’t get disemboweled or had our ribs caved in.”

G’raha winced at the reminders of the extent of Heron and Alakhai’s physical injuries from the Final Day and last battle with Zenos. “Perhaps we could sneak them in a bite or two of the chicken?” he said around his current mouthful. “And the plantains won’t be too harsh on their digestive systems, either.”

Rereha, Synnove, and Urianger all looked at him.

He resisted the urge to flatten his ears, and merely raised an eyebrow instead.

But then all three smiled, and he relaxed.

“Gonna turn you into a rebel yet,” Rereha said cheerfully, then glanced over at Urianger.

“I hath heard nothing,” the elezen said primly. “Certainly, I knoweth nothing of the extra take-away containers you inquired of with the waitress whilst I claimed our table.”

“Fucking ears,” she hissed, as if her own long pair weren’t twitching to catch every stray bit of gossip around them from other patrons. Urianger merely hummed his amusement.

Synnove and G’raha exchanged looks, and burst into laughter.

For those who like it 🔥, Scotch Bonnet is the pepper of choice in the Caribbean and often made into pepper sauce.⁠

With a heat rating of 80,000 to 400,000 on the Scoville scale, these peppers will add a kick to any dish. A key ingredient in Jamaican Jerk Chicken, Trinidadian Callaloo Soup, and the perfect heat pairing for our Trinidadian Chickpeas.

From Beats to Eats: Exploring Hip-Hop's Flavorful History with Food

Introduction:

Hip-hop culture has always been a creative force that transcends music. It has influenced fashion, language, and even culinary trends. Food has played an integral role in the history of hip-hop, serving as a source of inspiration, cultural expression, and a symbol of identity. In this blog post, we will take a flavorful journey through hip-hop's history with food, exploring how it is referenced in their songs, and the significance it holds within the genre.

1. Roots of Hip-Hop's Culinary Influence:

Hip-hop emerged from the streets of the Bronx in the 1970s, where the cultural fusion of African, Caribbean, and Latin American influences was evident. These diverse culinary traditions became woven into the fabric of hip-hop, shaping its identity and creative expression. As artists embraced their cultural heritage, food became a powerful metaphorical tool, symbolizing community, struggle, and success.

2. Mouthwatering Lyrics:

Food-related references in hip-hop lyrics are abundant and span across various sub-genres. From iconic rappers like The Notorious B.I.G. rapping about "Juicy" burgers to Lil Wayne's clever wordplay with "Beetlejuice" and "sushi," food serves as a vibrant metaphor to convey messages of wealth, status, and indulgence. Exploring the colorful and inventive use of food in hip-hop lyrics provides a unique lens into the genre's creativity and wordplay.

3. Food as Cultural Expression:

Food in hip-hop is more than just clever wordplay; it reflects cultural identity and pays homage to ancestral roots. Artists often use traditional dishes and flavors to connect with their heritage, celebrating their origins and promoting cultural diversity. Whether it's Puerto Rican mofongo, Jamaican jerk chicken, or Southern soul food, hip-hop artists embrace their cultural cuisines as a way to connect with their audience and express their unique backgrounds.

4. The Rise of Food Entrepreneurship:

Hip-hop's influence extends beyond lyrics and beats; it has also made its mark in the culinary world. Many artists have ventured into the food industry, opening restaurants, launching food product lines, or becoming ambassadors for food-related initiatives. This entrepreneurial spirit not only showcases their passion for food but also contributes to community development and economic empowerment.

5. Food as a Reflection of Social Issues:

Hip-hop has always been a voice for social change and a platform for addressing societal issues. Similarly, food references in hip-hop often shed light on food inequality, poverty, and the struggles faced by marginalized communities. Through their lyrics, artists bring awareness to the challenges of food deserts, unhealthy eating habits, and the need for food justice, inspiring dialogue and action.

Conclusion:

Food has been an integral part of hip-hop's history, providing a rich tapestry of cultural references, metaphors, and social commentary. It serves as a powerful tool for artists to express their identity, celebrate their heritage, and shed light on pressing social issues. As hip-hop continues to evolve, the relationship between food and the genre will undoubtedly remain vibrant and influential, reflecting the ever-changing landscape of both music and culinary arts.

Remember, this blog post only scratches the surface of hip-hop's history with food. Dive deeper, explore iconic lyrics, and discover the mouthwatering world where beats meet eats.

"Marwan's Juicy Patties: Authentic Jamaican Food Delivery for Tourists and Locals"

The payment system in Jamaica is primarily cash-based, with many ordinary Jamaicans relying on physical currency for their transactions. While establishments such as hotels, restaurants, and larger businesses may accept Visa and MasterCard, it's important to note that the majority of smaller businesses and local vendors may only accept cash.

One challenge that locals and tourists may encounter is the availability of cash. ATMs can sometimes run out of cash or experience technical issues, making it difficult to withdraw money when needed. This situation can be particularly problematic when you find yourself in unfamiliar areas, as it can be unsafe to search for an ATM or rely solely on cash.

For tourists visiting Jamaica, it is advisable to carry smaller denominations of Jamaican currency, such as 5-dollar and 10-dollar bills. These smaller bills are more widely accepted and facilitate easier transactions, as larger bills, like the 100-dollar bill, can be challenging to break, especially for smaller vendors or businesses.

It's worth considering the potential impact of the declining value of the U.S. dollar on Jamaica's economy. As the U.S. dollar loses value, inflation tends to rise, which can lead to higher interest rates. This situation can result in a reduced circulation of cash within the country. In light of these challenges, it is crucial for individuals, including the common man, to educate themselves about alternative payment methods and embrace electronic payments.

Moving towards electronic payments, such as mobile banking, online transfers, or digital wallets, can offer numerous benefits. This shift can help Jamaicans create products, goods, and services for the global marketplace, and it can also help improve efficiency and security in financial transactions.

However, it's commendable to see individuals and businesses seeking innovative solutions to address the challenges associated with the payment system. As digital payment methods continue to evolve, it's possible that Jamaica, like many other countries, may experience a shift towards more digital forms of payment, including cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. However, the widespread adoption of such technologies would depend on various factors, including infrastructure development, regulatory frameworks, and public acceptance.

Marwan's Juicy Patties is an innovative Jamaican food delivery service aiming to provide convenience to both locals and tourists in Jamaica. With an easy-to-use website, customers can browse through a variety of delicious Jamaican and Caribbean dishes, including jerk chicken, rice and beans, oxtail, fried plantains, and, of course, their famous flaky and juicy Jamaican beef patties.

The service accepts payments via Visa and MasterCard, allowing customers to make secure online transactions directly on their website. By offering this payment option, Marwan's Juicy Patties eliminates the need for customers to carry cash or search for ATMs, making the ordering process more convenient and efficient, especially for tourists who may not be familiar with local currency or have limited access to cash.

Once an order is placed and payment is confirmed, Marwan's Juicy Patties utilizes a reliable food delivery platform, similar to UberEats, to transport the freshly prepared meals to the customer's desired location. Whether it's a hotel, a beach, or any other place in Jamaica, the delivery service ensures that the food reaches the customer in a timely manner, maintaining its quality and taste.

By combining the convenience of online ordering, electronic payments, and efficient food delivery, Marwan's Juicy Patties aims to enhance the dining experience for both locals and tourists in Jamaica. It provides an opportunity for individuals to explore and enjoy authentic Jamaican cuisine without the hassle of searching for local eateries or worrying about carrying cash.
