Caribbean Food Delights Jamaican Style Patties Review

I love heat and eat items. When I'm working, I don't have time to cook a real meal for lunch. Being able to pop into the kitchen and throw something in the microwave or oven saves me a lot of time. While searching for items to stock my freezer with, I came across Jamaican Style Patties made by the Caribbean Food Delights company. I had tasted similar products in the past and had enjoyed them so I decided to give them a try. Would these patties be a home run? You betcha.

First of all, Caribbean Food Delights makes several flavors of Jamaican Style Patties including beef, chicken, vegetable and several other flavors. I decided to try the beefy cheese flavor because I was a bit leery of the spicy beef flavor. I was happy to see that they could be cooked in the microwave or oven, but decided to cook them in the oven for the first time. I was very pleased with the crust of this product and the flavor of the beef and cheese was delicious as well. I liked that the product had a bit of spiciness, but wasn't too spicy. I did try microwaving the product the second time around and even though the product comes in a microwavable pouch that is supposed to crisp the crust, I found that it remained a bit soggy.

One Jamaican Style Beefy Cheese Patty has 430 calories, 21 grams of fat, 11 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans-fat, 25mg of cholesterol, 710mg of sodium, 46 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 7 grams of sugar, 12 grams of protein, 2% of your daily Vitamin A, 6% of your daily calcium and 20% of your daily iron. I said they were tasty, I didn't say there were healthy.

I give the Caribbean Food Delights Jamaican Style Patties 4 out of 5 stars. They are a bit high in fat and calories and the microwave leaves this product rather limp. Other than that, though I love this product and plan to keep it stocked in my freezer for a quick meal.
