IKEA’s new jerk chicken with rice and peas has been slammed after the warehouse chain made the traditional Caribbean dish using the wrong ingredients.

“IKEA is a Swedish home furnishing company with a much-loved food offer,” the company said.

“We take inspiration from many countries around the world and have always worked to combine different flavours and ingredients to offer delicious, healthy and affordable dishes. “We’re aware that our new jerk chicken, served with rice and peas has created some conversation and in some cases offence. “Our intention was to create a dish for many people to enjoy but we appreciate that we may have got it wrong.”

It was not clear if the item was available on all UK menus or just select stores. It was also not shared whether the dish was pulled from the menu while IKEA investigates.

First World problems

All the supposed backlash is from tweets with lesss than 20 likes except for one, which has 500 and that’s only because the dish itself doesn’t look appealing in the post

What’s worse than being “outraged” by peas? Apologising to people “outraged” by peas. The world is going mad 😂

Well, a few years of therapy funded by the offender should bring the poor traumatized victims back to normal 🙄

There's no point even speaking anymore, it's offensive

“Offensive”

Da faq is wrong with people..
