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.

- Flying fish and cou cou. The Bajan equivalent of the Sunday roast, flying fish and cou cou is the national dish of Barbados and something you have to experience during your visit.
- Pudding and Souse. Despite its name, pudding and souse is a savoury soul-food dish, not a dessert. Traditionally eaten on Saturdays, this dish is a must for lovers of all things pork.
- Conkies. Conkies are a sweet but healthy Bajan favourite made from corn flour, coconut, raisins and pumpkins together with cane sugar and delicious spices.
- Black Cake. Barbados is renowned for its exceptional rum and besides being the island’s favourite tipple, it’s also a regular ingredient in its cooking.
- Fishcakes and Bakes. Very popular and available throughout Barbados, the legendary Bajan Fishcake is a different take on the ones you get in the traditional fish shop.
- Cutters. Perfect for when you’re after a light meal or an afternoon snack, a cutter is a Barbadian sandwich. What makes it different to a normal sandwich, however, is that it made using fresh salt breads, which are a staple on the island.
- Bajan Macaroni Pie. Ask for a pie anywhere else and you’ll be asked what kind of pie you want. Not so in Barbados, over here, pie means one thing: Bajan macaroni pie.

- Flying Fish. Flying fish is an emblem of the island of Barbados, and is an iconic national dish that visitors must try at least once during their vacation.
- Cou-cou. A hallmark of Bajan cuisine, cou-cou is made with okra and cornmeal. For the uninitiated, cou-cou tastes somewhat similar to polenta or grits. However, the dish is infinitely more delicious when paired with its flying (or shall we say swimming?)
- Pigtails. Another popular Bajan dish, pigtails will redefine street meat for urban dwellers that envision a gyro or sausage. Pigtails, in this scenario, are not a reference to the popular hairstyle but are instead a reference to the Asian influence on the Caribbean island’s cuisine.
- Souse. A beloved Barbados ingredient, souse is essentially pickled pork but is sometimes made with chicken or beef. In some parts of the world, you might also hear it called head cheese.
- Mahi-Mahi. You may be confused by hearing of an entrée described as "dolphin," but travelers shouldn’t be alarmed: "Dolphin" is the Bajan nickname for the much-less controversial seafood staple known as mahi-mahi.
- Sea Eggs. For a more exotic taste of the Caribbean, visitors are encouraged to order the sea eggs, a species of sea urchin that dwells in depths of 20 feet beneath the surface of the surrounding waters.
- Lobster. A lobster in Barbados is only familiar in name alone. Lobster in the Caribbean is distinct from the New England varietal popular up and down the Eastern seaboard, not only in the way it is prepared but in biology as well.
- Black Cake. Forget plain old rum cake—why not sample some traditional black cake while visiting Barbados on your next visit? While the former is a staple throughout the Caribbean archipelago, black cake is a specialty on the island (and its deliciousness is thanks in no small part to the island’s legendary prowess when it comes to rum).
- Rice and Peas. A classic in Barbados, and throughout the Caribbean, visitors would be remiss not to include a side dish of rice and peas as a complement to one of their selected entrees.
- Baked Macaroni Pie. Baked macaroni and cheese is a popular dish through the Caribbean, particularly in the Bahamas, and Barbados is no exception. As with most things in life, the pie version of this carb-heavy favorite is the best iteration yet.
