I got a jerk marinade recipe off a mate whose dad was Jamaican. It's fucking great.

And therefore probably also more authentic than yours, is what I'm saying here.

If I may?
If the authenticity of a recipe comes from the ethnicity of the parents of the supplier of the recipe...
and given that I am willing to bet that your mate had only one Jamaican parent, otherwise why mention just the dad...
then, by my calculations, this endows your recipe with exactly 50% authenticity.
