Jug-Jug

Jug-jug is a traditional dish originating from Barbados. Although there are a few versions of the dish, it's usually made with a combination of pigeon peas or lentils, bacon or pork, hot peppers, beef, onions, chives, corn flour, and butter. The peas and meat are boiled, drained, and mashed or puréed, then mixed with the other boiled ingredients and cooked until piping hot.


Before serving, the dish is topped with butter. Jug-jug is traditionally prepared for Christmas and it's often accompanied by fried plantains or rice. It is believed that this dish is derived from the Scottish haggis.
