Gigi πβπ«At #Blackhurst celebrating #PattyDay early and often.
February 23 is Jamaican Patty Day in #Toronto
You know about the Patty Wars?
40+ years ago, he Canadian government decided that "beef patties" could ONLY refer to the meat product used for hamburgers per the Meat Inspection Act, and that every place selling Jamaican patties needed to rebrand, ASAP, or face thousands of dollars in fines.
Let's just say: the government lost. Badly.

Ima eat this patty and several more leading up to Monday. I've given you a good heads-up, so you can acquire some by Patty Day.
