Food Aftermath of BBQ potluck
I added okra, onions and eggplant
The sauce is mango, pineapple and apple cider vinegar.
My dish was done within 5 minutes lol
I got a piece of chicken (I was cooking all day so I didn’t feel like eating) but at the bbq I was encouraged to take a “to go plate”

What is what?
Health is wealth. Vegetables are important.
Everyone who ate it enjoyed.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Vegetables are important “health is wealth”.
You keep looking after yourself and hopefully you’re not married to diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and or obesity 💚

I think you should take the constructive criticism…I do not disagree with your statement about vegetables but you eat with your eyes before you eat with your mouth…
Your presentation isn’t great. The veg you have chosen don’t go with the meal and your chicken doesn’t look like it’s was seasoned enough or cooked to make a nice crust…

You’re entitled to your opinion lol but your arrogance is showing. WTF are you to tell me that I need to take your constructive criticism? 🤣🤣
Were you at the bbq? Yes or no? No, you weren’t.
I didn’t get any complaints from anyone there and I don’t know if you’re wearing glasses (maybe get your eyes checked)
I wrote that my dish was done relatively quickly.
So, maybe you need to remember that opinions are like 🍑s everyone has one.
My unsolicited advice to you. Tone down your arrogance and learn to listen with both of your ears 👂s.
Have a great day!

It’s not arrogance to say that you should take constructive criticism- it’s a fact, if you don’t want to take it, that’s on you but there’s a pattern of people saying your food isn’t up to par and you being defensive.
I don’t need to be at the bbq to see that you haven’t crusted your chicken and the veg you’ve put on it do not go, while the sauce sounds great, your presentation is lacking.
You aren’t going to get complaints - people aren’t going to slate your food to your face in an intimate setting, but you posting it online will get people talking and the consensus is it’s not good enough. You may not wanted to hear that but it’s true.
Yeah, I saw you put that you wrote your dish was put together quickly, that still doesn’t take away from what people have said…
Learn not to be defensive and understand when people, especially in our culture, have a high standard, that if you aren’t going to meet that standard…you’ll hear about it

I make my own rules and I lead with health first. You are arrogant lol I don’t have to listen to you.
I never said I was making anything traditional…did you see that somewhere? lol comprehension is key. I’m not being defensive about anything.
Your opinion is yours. Your assumptions are yours. That’s all that you’re entitled to.
Enjoy your day ✨

I'm not talking about your food. I'm talking about potlucks in general. I've seen some horror stories.
The movie's a classic <3

That nasty looking dish would get skipped alongside everything else at that potluck

Can you give more details about the chicken? A just salt and pepper and grill chicken? Also would have did the vegetables on the side but a your ting still.

There’s a previous post about all of the ingredients.
Why would you assume that it’s just salt and pepper?
Vegetables on top so it would be eaten and not used as an option.

Why was this posted in the Jamaica sub ? This is not a Jamaican meal.
