Directions
Jug Jug (Barbados),This recipe is from week 23 of my food blog, “Travel by Stove.” I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and Barbados is my 23rd stop. Fair warning: I didn’t like this recipe, and if I was the sort of person who posts one star reviews I wouldn’t have a lot of nice things to say about jug jug. But is recipe is enjoyed all over Barbados on Christmas day, so clearly my tastes just aren’t suited to it. For that reason I am posting it anyway, and because it was the focal point of my Bajan meal even though I didn’t personally care for it. So please be kind! You have been warned.,This is an insult to our traditional Christmas dish. Im a Bajan living in Ga and make jug jug every Christmas in honor of my family tradition. Your first reviewer Adijah has a more authentic recipe. Never made with CASAVA flour. Always made with guinnie corn.. It is the consistency of Bajan coucou, not soupy. Best surved with Bajan pepper sauce, gravy or a pad of butter on the center of a beautiful mound, that is made like thick mashed potatoes. This dish is a part of our tradition and HISTORY. WE ARE FROM A SMALL ISLAND BUT ARE BIG ON PRIDE.
