Cooking class experience — learning Curry Goat properly
I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Curry Goat correctly. The instructor explained why scotch bonnet is used the way it is — something I'd never understood from just eating it. The fiery and aromatic result when you make it yourself is different.
