In the Virgin Islands it's called Fungi, what do your people call this dish?

[dora_da_destroyer]

We don’t eat it combined like that and cooked together…. But yeah we have the quimbombó on the side or tomatoes with meat and end up combine it and eating it together afterwards. A lot of times when we eat it it’s with beef in a sauce as well. So just pour the bistec en salsa on top.

She didnt even give me a name for it so Im guessing its not common at all but yea you're right thats how we eat it

 

[jdubnyce]

Flying fish and coucou

Okra

"Harina del negrito" in DR/PR. Venezuela and Colombia are the goats with cornmeal though they make a meal called "arepa". but there are various versions there is sweet, there is savory. There is even a version thats like pancakes called "cachapa".

Oh you wanna take it there with the arepas, them mejicanos are the gods with this cornmeal game. So many dishes it’s insane.

Corn is indigenous to the Americas, so I imagine that the people from those areas George Washington Carver'ed cornmeal over a thousand years ago.

Exactly that's why I didn't even mentioned Mexico.

 

[WTFisWallace?]

Looks like mayi moulin for Haitians.


shyt was a godsend versus my ol boy making ble or pitimi


I don’t know what’s the exact age the old heads switch over to ble (wheat) and pitimi (i don’t even know what that shyt would be called in English) for their main diet, but dawg I hated that era as a kid.

Yeah I thought this strictly Caribe…. But once you extend it over to Venezuela and Colombia it’s different.

This is funny.

Stephen A. Smith's parents and grandparents eat Fungi, though

Exactly they basically made dishes of whatever was available and whatever the spaniards let them have which was usually scraps. So a lot of indigenous food got mixed in with the scraps. Like for example cow tongue tacos. Etc etc.

My Grandpa use to always have a plate of Pitimi with Poulet en Sauce ready for me whenever I visited him.

I miss those days
