Country of Origin: Saint Lucia 🇱🇨
Green Fig and Saltfish:
Saint Lucia’s national breakfast with a twist! Boiled unripe bananas ("green figs") paired with flaked salted cod sautéed with onions, peppers, and garlic. A splash of lime and a side of avocado complete this island staple.
(Imagine the mild, starchy figs contrasting with the salty, flaky fish and the bright kick of lime—simple but addictive!)
Fun Fact:
"Green figs" are actually unripe bananas —they mimic potatoes when boiled.
Eaten year-round but especially on Creole Day (October 28th), when locals dress in traditional wear.
