\nAccording to the interwebs, fungee is the national dish of Antigua and Barbuda; according to ethnojunkie, fungee is delicious. It\u2019s simplicity itself; think polenta with an Antiguan accent: there\u2019s a hit of heat and a textural slide due to the addition of okra. Here, it\u2019s keeping company with okra pods and eggplant that\u2019s been enhanced by okra (did I mention okra?) and saltfish. No complaints. No stick-to-the-ribs jokes either. Just really good eats.<\/p>\n

On the side is ducana, a dumpling made from grated sweet potatoes, grated coconut, cinnamon and sugar and IMHO, it\u2019s a real treat; wish I had access to it more often.<\/p>\n

\nThe fish cake appetizer was comped and perfect; I could have eaten a sack of those.<\/p>\n

\nThe inner workings.<\/p>\n

This indulgence came from Caf\u00e9 Metro, 477 Cedar Lane in Teaneck, NJ.<\/p>\n

As Antiguan Chef Bernadine says, \u201cEat till you belly full!\u201d I have no problem with that!
