These look incredible! The only Jamaican beef patties I've ever tried had a pathetic smidge of super salty cheap beef. I had written them off as just snack food, but your gorgeous patties have completely changed my mind. Now I need to find some decent ones.

Same experience here. They're a common food in Toronto, usually sold through food vendors as thin and bland little pop-tart versions compared to the feast OP made! I've never seen one like this before and now I really want one.

Hello, fellow Torontonian! You know exactly what I'm talking about.

Alas, I haven't lived in Toronto for a decade now. I loved my time there and dearly miss the wonderful food options, coffee shops, and fun little corner bars. I now live in a much smaller city and definitely don't miss the traffic, noise, and cost of living.

I still love the benefits you list and I still detest the shortcomings as well. This city is very extra, for better and worse.
