📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Curry goat was born when the curry traditions brought by Indian indentured laborers met Caribbean ingredients. Bone-in goat is marinated in spices, browned, and simmered until it's falling off the bone. It's a special dish served at weddings, parties, and other celebrations.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a weekend barbecue party, curry goat bubbles in a big pot and everyone helps themselves onto paper plates.
