Trini culture was at its best last Sunday, as the Point Fortin Borough Day celebrations heated up with the first ever Curry Duck Cook-off and Chutney Fusion at the Guapo Beach Facilities. Hosted by councillor Marilyn Mala Ramnarinesingh in collaboration with Angostura Ltd, hundreds of limers came out to the event, which featured a variety of curried dishes and chutney soca artistes. The aroma of the duck made patrons anxious for judges to begin sampling from 11 teams, so they too could get down to enjoying their meals. But after feasting on curried duck, paratha and curried corn from R’s Entertainment’s Quack Addicts, headed by head chef Richard Ramlal, the judges declared the addicts’ dish the best tasting. The dish also featured pepper choka mother-in-law, rice, dhal and hot chow.

 
Team Thick Sauce put up a good culinary fight with its combination of murtanie (roasted tomatoes, baigan pepper and garlic,) mango anchar, mother-in-law and pepper roti. EJ Marine Contractor’s Duck and Run Crew won the prize for best presentation of their various chutney sauces made out of coconut and mango, and hot kuchela. Each councillor within the Point Fortin Borough Corporation had been given the responsibility of hosting an event. Ramnarinesingh said her event was aimed at bringing friends and families together. She said it was something that was never done before in the borough, adding that it was held at the perfect time in the perfect place. After satisfying their taste buds, patrons spent the rest of the evening dancing to music by KI Persad and his band JMC 3Veni, Andaz International and the rhythmic sounds from Eagle Boys Tassa Group.
