📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Antiguan pepperpot differs from Guyana's black meat stew: vegetables such as spinach, eggplant, okra, pumpkin, and peas are stewed thick with salted pork or beef. Eaten with fungee, it's considered Antigua's national dish.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In an Antiguan kitchen, a pot of thickly stewed green vegetables steams beside a plate of fungee.
