Ikea recently introduced the sorriest Jerk chicken platter to the menu in it’s cafateria.

The Swedish furnature company took what is probably the most poular Jamaican dish an, well… white washed it. The uninspired version featured white rice and green peas (WHITE RICE & GREEN PEAS!!).

Twitter, of course, went wild with reactions like, “This is what happens when you try and cash in on a culture with no input from that culture whatsoever.”

Luckily this travesty was only forced on UK shoppers. Ikea has since apologied and is “reexamining” their strategy.
