Ingredient appreciation — what makes Curry Goat special

What sets Curry Goat apart is the handling of allspice pimento. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the fiery and aromatic result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

Jamaican jerk cooking traces to the Maroon communities who preserved meat with allspice and chilli. The a Kingston jerk pit atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had sorrel drink as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Curry Goat is the place to start.
