Fungi

Cultural Context

Fungi, a traditional dish from St. Vincent and the Grenadines, is made from cornmeal and often includes vegetables like okra and callaloo. This dish reflects the Caribbean's reliance on local ingredients and is a staple in many households. Today, Fungi is enjoyed not only in its homeland but also in various Caribbean communities around the world, often served alongside fish or meat dishes.
