More Leftist racism: Jamie Oliver is accused of 'cultural appropriation' for launching "jerk rice": A Caribbean dish

Why is it incorrect to  eat anything with an ethnic origin?  It's just race consciousness to say you should not

Jamie Oliver has been accused of cultural appropriation by Labour's shadow women and equalities minister and other social media users for launching 'punchy jerk rice'.

Dawn Butler, the MP for Brent Central in north west London, picked up on comments from social media about the product and joined in with her own criticism.

She suggested Oliver was using the word jerk to increase the sales of his rice and his product was not faithful to the original Caribbean recipe which is usually a marinade for meat.

Jerk can refer to a type of cooking which involves marinating meat in a jerk spice mixture, or the marinade itself. It originated in Jamaica.

Jerk can refer to both the spice mix or the style of cooking which originated in Jamaica. The name is believed to have come from charqui, the Spanish word for dried meat.

Many jerk recipes involve meat such as chicken or pork, but Mr Oliver's £2.30 microwaveable rice offering is vegetarian, with the packaging suggesting it is 'seriously good' with chicken wings.

Interesting... Progressives/leftists want us to study other cultures in order to understand them better, but we aren't allowed to learn or experience anything from them. "Idiotic" barley begins to cover that notion.

Jerk also refers to those taking offense at a recipe.
