Here and Now
The taste of the Caribbean in West Bromwich.
The effects of racism in the workplace are discussed in two interviews that bookend this edition of Here and Now. Hilary Minster talks to Tesh Kotecha, who works for the Marcus Garvey Agency for Community Employment and Training Ltd, a Nottingham-based organisation that is studying the problems and constraints minority ethnic businesses face in the city.
At the end of the programme Vera Gilbert talks to prominent trade unionist Bill Morris, then Deputy General Secretary Designate of the Transport and General Workers Union (TGWU). In an illuminating interview he talks about the challenges he has faced since his arrival in Britain from Jamaica in the 1950s.
The remainder of the programme sees Vera Gilbert visiting the Caribana Restaurant and Wine Bar in West Bromwich. The Caribbean restaurant had been open for seven months, and the chef shows Vera how he serves up one of the house specials: Lobster Ochi Rios. Dancer Unnikrishnan who is spending a year in Britain with the Academy of Indian Dance also performs a piece in the studio to complete a typically eclectic programme.
A magazine series highlighting the culture and lifestyle of the Midlands minority ethnic communities. This week: Asian business in Nottingham; a Caribbean restaurant in West Bromwich; dance from Unnikrishnan and an interview with the trade union official Bill Morris.

What We Ate
If 'we are what we eat', then we're definitely not who we used to be...
The British diet has come a long way since the days when lard, suet and condensed milk were the staple of every kitchen, and when 'takeaway' invariably meant a fish supper. We still love our fish & chips - and our Sunday roasts, full English breakfasts, sausage & mash and neeps and tatties. But today our supermarkets stock food and ingredients from six continents, and our comfort food may just as likely be curry, sushi, risotto, chilli con carne or peri peri chicken.
This selection of cookery shows, news reports, adverts and debates gives a taste of how our appetites and our palates were transformed, as well as highlighting some of the food fads and fears that simmered up along the way. So take a seat, browse the menu, and remember: watch what you eat!
