\nThe Garifuna Indigenous People of St. Vincent and the Grenadines held their Annual Culture Pot celebration recently in Crown Heights, Brooklyn and the food was delightful.<\/p>\n[1] The emblematic dish, cassava bambam, is made from compressed grated cassava and coconut grilled in a ring on a hot griddle. (The name Garifuna actually means cassava-eating people.)
\n[2] Smoke herring with breadfruit salad; it\u2019s similar to potato salad but with breadfruit as the base. The flatbreads are madungo bakes made from arrowroot starch.
\n[3] Saltfish (dried cod) with more breadfruit salad (it\u2019s delicious) and provision (boiled plantain) hiding beneath; coconut dumpling on the right.
\n[4] Pelau. Think pilaf but deeply flavored. And even more breadfruit salad (no, really – it\u2019s delicious) on top.
\n[5] One of our desserts was dukuna (aka dukana), a gingery sweet potato dumpling, wrapped in a banana leaf and boiled.
