Cultural Context

Originating from the Bahamas, Turkey Wings Souse is a flavorful dish often enjoyed during festive occasions and family gatherings. Traditionally, it showcases the island's love for bold flavors, combining citrusy notes with the heat of scotch bonnet peppers. This dish reflects the Bahamian practice of using vinegar and lime as natural preservatives, while also enhancing taste. Today, Souse has gained popularity beyond the islands, with variations found in Caribbean cuisine worldwide.
