Apart from serving his curry duck, Keith Simpson mounted a display of the mas kings of Fatima College in costume featuring Peter Samuel, Colin Edghill, Geraldo Viera Jnr and Gregory Medina.

CIC past students came with their roast pork in apple sauce and fish in tamarind sauce, while St Francois Girls’ College Alumnae served their sweet and spicy saffron chilli wings and geera pork.

Kenneth Ramdoo’s mouth-watering oxtail was a hit

There were also teams from Atlantik (lamb slide), Cooking Vibez (crispy skin boxed pig) PWC, QRC and Belex who all came in support of the event.

During and after dinner patrons were entertained by the Fatima College Junior Steelband, Flick –a music band comprising past college students, Fatima old boy and popular pannist Johann Chuckaree and the Cartars. The enjoyable evening with fine music and food also saw patrons leave with doubles as a lagniappe.

All proceeds from the event go to the school’s improvement.
