On Tuesday we had a wonderful celebratory lunch featuring dishes from the Caribbean and West Africa as part of the school’s Black History Month.
There were lightly spiced Jamaican Beef Patties and aromatic Bajan Mango Chicken and Beans served with a spicy Coleslaw and a very special West African Joloff Rice. Both Caribbean and West African cuisine use a lot of beans in their dishes so there was a delicious Ghanaian Red Red which is a wonderfully flavoursome red bean stew and some Nigerian Ewa Riro, a one pot vegan dish full of African spices, vegetables and beans. For dessert there was a choice of a traditional Jamaican Ginger Cake or Caribbean Banana Bread, both of which went well with or without custard. We had some great compliments on the food from our pupils, students and staff who all thoroughly enjoy this special lunch.
