- Where I'm from in Rock City,
if you ain't got no seasonings, it ain't good.
(upbeat music)
- My name is Amina.
I'm Jamaican-Nigerian and I'm from LA.
- Hi, my name is Tselane and I am from Los Angeles
but my mom's side of the family is Trinidadian.
- My name is Nia Paul, and I'm originally from
St. Thomas, the U.S. Virgin islands.
- So, the way that we make our curry is way different.
There's something that is a staple
that you have to put in there
that I got clowned for not using last time
was the green seasoning, okay?
- I feel like Jamaicans definitely have more of, like,
a marinated, like, tender approach to meat.
So, definitely, like, lots of seasonings, spices,
lots of love, care.
(upbeat music)
I think the other contestants will enjoy my curry goat.
It's not very spicy.
I didn't want to offend anyone.
So, we'll see.
(upbeat music)
- Let's see what's popping.
- No, this is what I like- the red bean and rice.
I like that.
- I like the rice.
The rice is really good.
I'm not sure what happened to the salt.
- This one ta- Good seasoning.
Not bad, not bad at all.
- I feel like this was, like,
an Americanized version of, like, a restaurant.
Is this Jamaican?
It just feels like somebody took the recipe,
shipped it overseas, colonized it, and then made it again.
(laughs)
- It tastes good but it can have a better balance
if they add a little bit more of the paprika
or turmeric or that pepper to make it spicier.
I think this curry goat was made by a Jamaican.
Jamaican style.
- Oh, see, I was right. It's Jamaican.
I was rooting for you, Jamaica!
I was literally rooting for you.
- This is really good and I'll give it a nine.
- I feel like the curry- Like, I don't know.
I feel like the curry is not curry enough,
like there's not enough flavor in there.
So I'm going to give this a five and a half.
This is like the Taco Bell tacos
but like the curry ghost of curry.
(upbeat music)
- I think that they're gonna enjoy my curry goat for a fact
because I know that I put my heart into it, one,
and I know that because I love seasonings
and I love the type of style that I make it,
they're gonna enjoy it.
- Oh!
That's interesting.
- That's a little better.
- Okay, rice and peas.
- This one has a little bit more chilies in it
but not enough-
There's something missing.
God, what is it?
- This curry is giving me
curry from the can and I added pepper.
- Where's this one from?
- [Off Camera] Virgin Islands.
- Wow, I've never had Virgin Island-
I don't like it.
(laughs)
I love the Virgin Islands though.
- This store-bought.
Yeah.
- If you've never tasted curry before,
you would never know and you'd be like, "Oh yeah."
You'd pay the money.
But if I tasted that, I'd be like, "No, we ain't-
This ain't happening."
- This is not giving me homemade.
It's also very tough.
- Something's missing.
I definitely don't want to eat it anymore.
That's for sure.
But it was a good try.
- On a scale of one to 10, I would give it, like, a six
because it was better than the last one
but it's still just not really doing it for me.
- It was a little dry,
I liked the texture,
but the spice was too spicy and not flavorful enough.
So, that's why I'm gonna give it a six.
(upbeat music)
- I'm rooting for myself here
but I think that the Jamaican curry
might give me a little run for my money.
- Okay.
The rice looks old.
- Mmm, mmm, mmm.
- I don't know.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
- Mmm.
It looks decent. It looks decent.
Like maybe she's made this or he has made this
a couple of times.
- [Off Camera] By a couple, how many times?
- Maybe this is the second time.
- Okay.
Yup, it's too tough.
One hour and 45 minutes crock pot.
- She could have definitely used, like, a bouillon.
There's, like, some sort of salt that's missing.
- A lot of pepper.
I mean, the rice- No.
Is a no for me.
- I think this person is maybe
a bit far removed from the Caribbean heritage.
Maybe their great grandma is Caribbean or something.
I'm not entirely sure why I haven basmati Jasmine rice
with my curry goat, so...
- I think this one is a Trinidadian one.
I think this is it.
- I have a large piece of goat meat stuck in my tooth
because it was not tender
and the rice is white
and it just needs a bit more seasoning.
- The meat has to fall off the bone
and right now we're dealing with- we're fighting a war.
This one...
This one need work.
They have potential, but it need work.
I'd give it a five for the potential of it
trying to be a good curry goat.
Not better than mines, but it was trying its way.
It was almost there.
It just missing some seasoning,
it needed a little bit more time to season,
and it need to be in a crock pot
so it could be falling off the bone.
- I would rate this curry goat a five because it's edible.
(upbeat music)
- I feel amazing.
I can't say that I'm surprised, you know?
My dad never fails me.
Better luck next time.
