WHAT’S NEW? A TASTE OF THE
CARIBBEAN Residents and staff were virtually transported to the beaches of the West Indies to enjoy a Caribbean themed day at RMBI Care Co. Home Connaught Court, in York.
Activities Coordinators Steph Taylor and Fran Tagg created classic cocktails, including piña colada, mojito and rum punch for residents to sip.
The home’s lounge was transformed into a tropical scene with a wall mural of the Caribbean Sea lapping over the white sand, and clear blue skies fringed by palm trees, whilst residents wore flower garlands and had fun with novelty glasses.
For lunch, residents tucked into jerk chicken and fish curry, served with rice and peas, sweet potato fries, salad and slaw. In the aſternoon, they enjoyed a fruit tasting session, trying
different fruits such as passionfruit, watermelon, mango, papaya, coconut and pomegranate. Some of the staff who grew up with these fruits in their native countries shared their knowledge including how to grow and harvest them, as well as prepare and eat them.
Steph and Fran, said: “Our Caribbean themed day allowed our residents to discover and explore tropical flavours
some had never experienced before, as well as escape the cooler British weather.
“We all enjoyed sharing and listening to people’s stories, learning about different cultures and tastes from around the world, along with refreshing and thirst -quenching tipples.”
Resident Ted Heely remarked that the rum punch was “the real thing.”
