Jerk chicken and macaroni pie

“I am a man of few talents, but one I do have is passing, filling, and absolutely massacring time. Give me an entire free day and I will assassinate it, hour by hour, podcast by podcast, meal by meal. This ‘talent’, combined with my earnest passion for aimless walking, has come into its own in 2020, and the other day it led me towards Pepper & Spice. I’ve had many a patty from this Caribbean takeaway spot but this was my first time eating their jerk chicken, and it was on point. Probably the best I’ve eaten around Hackney and Dalston. The skin was charred, the leg bone blackened, and the meat soft. I got extra sauce on the side (this isn’t my first rodeo) to pour over the macaroni pie and let me tell you, the combination of fruity and fiery over a cheesy brick bangs. Needless to say, I’ll be spending some more time with the rest of the menu.”
