In a (very) unscientific poll, 8 out of 10 people said that jerk chicken is the food of carnival.

Organised in association with The Write Thing, the Tilda Jerk Cookout Festival, held in the grounds of the Horniman Museum in South London’s Forest Hill on 12th August, saw D&D Family Jerk win the prestigious Jerk Trophy.

Celebrity judge Floella Benjamin, who sampled the winning cuisine, said that, “Her taste buds were tantalised!”

Now in its second year, 15 vendors competed for the title. The stalls did their best to cope with the masses, who waited patiently in extremely long queues for a taste of this favoured cuisine.

Jerk chicken has a special affiliation with Notting Hill Carnival, and you will be able to taste this prize-winning rendition for yourself, because D&D Family Jerk will be there.

Their specialities include jerk chicken, jerk lamb and much more.
