Jamaican Curry Goat
Visit any local roadside restaurant (otherwise know as a “cookshop”) and Jamaican “Curry Goat” is sure to be on the menu. Jamaica’s version of curried mutton, this spicy goat curry comes with a thick gravy loaded with vegetables and typically spooned over a heaping of white rice or rice and peas. A hearty one pot dish, Curry Goat is a must try, staple meal found in Jamaica.
