- The Caribbean Cuisine
Consortium in ‘Destination Brixton’
-
- It is said
that every great idea has its time. The time has surely come for the
food of the Caribbean to take its place in the hearts and minds of the
greater British public.
-
- ‘Destination
Brixton’, 11-20 July, will present the long-awaited opportunity to
display the most nutritious food that our bodies can imbibe. This is no
idle boast: the agriculture is renowned for its purity of origin. The
mass of people are spared the rigours of genetic modification - thus we
eat healthily and from a large supply of fresh produce. It also has to
be said that food is an affordable commodity in the Caribbean. We also
have a global cultural base since every race of people on earth is
represented in that little piece of ‘spit and dust’. So there has
been a cross-fertilisation of cultures for the best part of half a
millennium.

- June 1, 2003,
an historic assembly at the Savoy Hotel in London’s West End witnessed
the formation of a collective dedicated to advocating the wholesome
goodness of Caribbean food and drink. The Caribbean Cuisine Consortium (CCC)
will make its mark on the British palate to let it know that we have
moved out of the domestic kitchen, so to speak, and now produce our
favourite delicacies in industrial quantities. This implies rigid
quality control, consistency of supply, widespread distribution and much
creativity in the range of items to be enjoyed.
-
- July 11-20,
Windrush Square will be the site for the first outing of the Consortium.
Nine of its members will be trading under its stylish banner to provide
visitors with bottled fruit drinks, herbal teas, patties, fruit salad,
jerk chicken seasoning and a mango smoothie. Brixton, Britain,
has never seen anything like it. All you have to do
is make Destination Brixton your objective and come prepared to
enjoy. See you there!
