Slow-braised goat in a turmeric-gold Jamaican curry, cooked to falling tenderness in Bristol's Caribbean restaurants and ladled over rice and peas.
Curry goat travelled to the Caribbean with indentured Indian workers in the 1800s, and Jamaica made it a celebration dish. In Bristol it arrived with the Windrush generation and became Sunday and function food in St Pauls, the dish cooked longest and argued over hardest. Ms Cat's family recipes at Caribbean Croft carry that lineage on Stokes Croft, and the market stalls sell it by the takeaway box.
