Unique Caribbean food Culture Secrets

Food Food Food!!!

We eat it everyday all around the world. Most of us are currently obsessed with finding more organic/ healthy ways to enjoy eating our day to day food items. and the rest of us,... well we just go for what we are craving, tastes good, is easy to acquire and fills the space in our stomachs.....lol...

Well we have decided to maybe aid both sides of the spectrum and take you guys on a new way to eat that would be both healthy as well as easy and affordable.

This particular blog post will be updated every three (3) months, for your eating pleasure.

Now let's get into some deliciousness.....

First up!
The Bajan dish called Jug Jug.


Made with just three (3) ingredients and occasionally four (4): Pigeon Peas, Corn and Meat (okra, optional) (salt and pepper)

Now while we can go the boring route and talk / write you through, we thought it better to show you.

Enjoy! ;)




Next Stop in our Cultural Cuisine tour is Jamaica Jamaica!!!...

For some succulent Callaloo Stuffed baked fish.

Made with just Fish, callaloo, onion, garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, scotch bonnet pepper and one carrot (Salt and Pepper)
