In this episode of the podcast "Jamaican Revelation," your host Fred takes you on a culinary journey exploring the world of curry and culture. This episode is part of a series called "Curry and Culture," where Fred delves into the intricacies of Jamaican cuisine. Before diving into the topic, Fred poses a question to the listeners: "Do you add potato in your Curry?" The question can be found on Spotify, where you can join the conversation. Fred begins by recapping the previous episode, emphasizing the importance of blessing the curry before preparing it. He shares a funny story about a flour recall incident, highlighting the unpredictability of ingredients and the significance of following instructions. Moving on to the next step, Fred discusses the use of scallion in curry preparation. He then ponders the question raised earlier, whether or not to include potatoes in curry. Fred recounts a visit to a Jamaican restaurant where he savored a delicious curry but questioned the addition of potatoes, sparking a friendly debate with his wife. The podcast transitions into a discussion about the role of potatoes in curry and different perspectives on this matter. Fred shares insights from various sources, including the idea that potatoes can absorb excess salt or balance out spices. However, he argues that a perfectly made curry doesn't necessarily require potatoes, as the natural thickening of the sauce indicates a well-executed dish. Delving deeper, Fred explores the connection between curry and culture. He emphasizes that curry is not just a dish but a representation of one's heritage and upbringing. It carries sentimental value and serves as a bridge between generations. Fred encourages listeners to cultivate their cultural traditions and build meaningful connections within their homes. As the episode concludes, Fred invites listeners to reflect on the significance of starting cultural traditions and creating boundaries within their households. He encourages them to take inspiration from the step-by-step process of curry preparation and apply it to building relationships and preserving cultural heritage.

This episode is a trailer from the drive home container of my day. How was your drive home call into the station? Leave a message. I'll play it in the next episode. Um, coming up next.

Anyways, Alfred Costa Moses, stop. Keep raising. One of the things I really enjoy about. Anchor is the ability to cut out moments like this. Um, there are moments I'd keep for myself probably, but, uh, what I like to do is from my phone, I can actually snip it, clip it, shorten it, flip it, and still get the quality [00:02:00] we are. Don't worry. And I still managed to get the quality that I desire and I can do it on the go. The biggest part of what I enjoy anchor is a one-stop shop for recording, hosting and distributing your podcast. And best of all, it's absolutely free at 100% free. It's ridiculously easy to use and now anchor can match you with great sponsors too, though. You can get hate to podcasts. What are you doing silly anyways, let's get to the. Coming up next extreme disappointment. After a long day's work during this drive, I know exactly what I want to eat. It's up north it's this lady that barbecues out of a billowing huge furnace made for chicken. As I pull up there to make a left. This lady [00:03:00] Dorado let's make. Sorry, babe. Yeah. El Dorado disappointment. Yeah. Coming up next, a gentlemen standing on the side of the road as we were. About to approach the intersection, holding a sign that says looking for work. And this is my conversation with the guy right now. Yeah. I appreciate you, man. I mean, I'll be praying about it. If I can think of anything. [00:04:00] Yeah. Yeah. And if I hear anything, man, I'll let you know, but take that for now or you too, man, coming up next, a conversation about my most valuable possession shattered to pieces, my Mac book. I'm about to join them right now. I'm not judging them right here. You're going to be competing and be like, I lost theater five days ago. I'm not making you making fun of him. Your lips turned to teach him Ronnie. If that's real, I feel really bad for you, honestly. Uh, Coming up next, a segment I titled [00:05:00] trick or trade this guy. We just got finished giving money to had a very, one of the most convincing stories I ever heard. I don't know if that dude's thing is a ploy, but I'm gonna tell you that's how it works, because then you're like, I need work. Like that's a respectful thing. Yeah. Coming up next, uh, segment, I titled car tag, renewal adolescence. It is that Tanya of the year now. Are are like us or this month, this one top of everything else. And they haven't said nothing. Sure. They can do it online now. [00:06:00] Like paying anything and they just send it to us. Well, I don't know how to log bonds because you don't have anything you don't have. I mean, they haven't said anything. So us coming up next, a segment, I titled boomer influencer my father-in-law, but Kaia. He is on fire. Because for whatever reason, which is beyond me, they watching yo daddy. And I don't know why that is that El Kaia Herro people like his energy, they, and when a man is able to give you the weather just by looking. I mean scientific, nothing scientific about it. He just looking outside through his windshield, telling us the weather and people were wanting to watch it. And people literally tell him, [00:07:00] they're like, Hey, you know, we've, we haven't Trailer of a series called "The Drive."  Clips of the containers of my life. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/newhuman/message
