A Duck Curry Competition

Cooking competitions have only become popular for the past several years in the Caribbean. We are more into food fairs. In countries with large East Indian populations such as Guyana and Trinidad & Tabago, Duck Curry Competitions have become annual events and always draw large crowds. Last Sunday, here in Barbados, we got another taste of Guyana, this time through a duck curry competition. Yours truly was one of the judges! Read all about it in this week's column.

Duck Curry is always cooked as a celebratory meal and often served with dhal puri or rice and dhal. I made Duck Curry to celebrate my birthday.

The cooking device took us back to basics - a coal pot!

Have a look at the album of the day's events. And check out Chris' Trini take on Duck Curry.

To all my USA friends and readers - Happy 4th of July!
