A foodie anniversary – Caribbean style

Suffolk foodie is one year old today. Celebrate by going to Lidl for my utter favourite  bar of dark chocolate with nuts in, and find Caribbean meat patties! Expecting them to taste awful but they are surprisingly authentic (well, they are made in Birmingham) with just the right amount of heat from scotch bonnet peppers. Although home made ones would have more filling it’s not bad for Stowmarket!

Carnival comin…!

And gone… See Abroad for new pictures.

Goat meat from Rattlesden

My links with the Caribbean dictate that I have to have goat meat every now and then and now we have a supplier – the most delicious barbecued chops I have ever had jerked in England! Forgot to take a picture though.

Mothers Day Barbecue

The first one of the year… The sun was out,  felt like something summery to eat so made chicken and spare ribs in the oven and finished them off outside. Served with rice and peas, sweet potato salsa and rum punch. Then it rained.

Out to eat but not in Suffolk

Went to Savannah Jerk in London because Lenny Henry mentioned it on F Word but although it was nice can cook this as well at home. So yesterday invited a friend round for Caribbean Christmas dinner and we had ackee and salt fish, deer meat, rice and peas, banana fritters, johnny cakes and jerk chicken.
