    Being Jamaican…I gotta leave Roti to the Trinis and Guyanese. Their Roti’s are just top tier. It’s that direct Indian influence.

      @Adam A. but still a lot of Roti is served in Jamaican not as a household thing but as a street food at alot of side shops in the capital
      When I first tasted it I was like what is this and my father told me and said he had this a lot growing up even. Even thou it’s hardly made now in modern day Jamaica

    I am Trini and no disrespect to the Jamaican lady but curry and roti is two different things. She kept going on about the burning etc, that is not roti but the filling you put in it. Roti is the actual flatbread. In Trinidad we do various types- breakfast roti is usually Sada eaten with a vegetable talkarie* Dhalpurrie is usually wrapped with curried or stewed meats and a side & Paratha(buss up shut) is broken up so dipped into the curries and veg. Popular at weddings & celebrations such as Divali. It has others like Dosti, pepper roti etc but the top 3 are the most common.

      You can clearly see she is a BLACK Jamaican woman. What you think she know about Diwali, Dosti an Dhalpurrie? - stop it, you're comment is too arrogant. Jamaica has it's own specific dishes and roti isn't a specialty. Yes the woman got the meaning wrong, it's just the bread- but everything else you mentioned is very INDO-Caribbean specific. Hell, even most Indo-Jamaicans don't do all that.

      Its trinis, or maybe black trinis who a spread wrong info...telling the rest of the Caribbean that roti name Roti skin. Why didnt you guys correct them. I can tell you that if you give Guyanese buss - up- shirt, they will ask you if you head mad, and if you dont know to make roti.
      And its Trinidadians who first sold roti and curry wrapped up for workers in Trinidad, so blame yourself. Selling Indo originated food at restaurants and take out places is a more recent thing in Guyana, except the snack which were always sold at the roadside by any race.

    I'm American (but my parents are Jamaican) and I feel as though they should have had more Trini and Guyanese people in this video. Those countries make the best roti in the Caribbean and that's what they're known for. Roti is not commonly eaten in Jamaica, it's not a staple of Jamaican cuisine. Also, having Indo-Caribbean people in this video would also be great, they are the reason why roti was brought to the Caribbean in the first place.

      Just like how Trinidad and Guyana and other islands have Indians in it so does Jamaica every Caribbean island have Indian in it, and therefore they're going to bring their culture with them and their food which include roti so every island do make roti.

      @@Life-nb9zl I understand. I’ve been to Jamaica several times…all I’m saying is that Jamaica is not the only island in the Caribbean and that other islands should be highlighted too.

    This needs a part two. When I think Roti, I think Guyana and Trinidad. Doing a Roti video without them in it, especially the Indian ones, is like doing a jerk chicken video without Jamaicans. This get a pass cause of the mixed girl who let her Trini friend help her. Jamaican roti look banging though, but as others, from Trinidad and Guyana said, roti is just the name of the flat bread, it can be made in many ways, some without curry.
