4. CURRY GOAT
This dish is special. It is often made and served at
celebrations and parties. It is a must-have Jamaican
recipe that you should know how to cook. The dish
is flavourful and tender, and some people also find it
more sumptuous than other stews that they have tried.
The curry dishes in Jamaica were brought by the
Indians. They were brought to the island to work on the
plantations. Over the generations, they have intermarried
with the other races Jamaican. Today, the Indian-
Jamaican community still exists, influencing many
Jamaican cuisines and dishes like curry goat.
If you live in communities having ethnic populations,
you might be able to find goat meat in the market.
However, you might have to go to a butcher to buy
goat meat in other places. Check out this video for a
curry goat recipe to try at home.
