Fungi (pronounced fun-gee) is a main staple of the Virgin Islands diet. It consists of cornmeal that has been boiled and cooked to a thick consistency along with okra. Fungi is usually eaten with boiled fish or saltfish. Callaloo (sometimes spelled kallaloo) is a soup made from callaloo bush/leaf, often substituted with spinach. It consists of various meats and okra, and is boiled to a thick stew consistency. Because of inter-Caribbean migration, many foods from other Caribbean countries have been adopted into the Virgin Islands culinary culture. For example, a popular dish is roti, of Indo-Trinidadian origin, which consists of curried vegetables and meat wrapped in a paper-thin dough. And let me tell... I'm from the Virgin Islands, and they are all so so good. BTW, since you said you were going up there in a couple of weeks( TO ME THATS LIKE 2-3 WEEKS), there should b carnival coming up. It's Fun. i'M ALSO GOIN UP IN AcOUPLE oF wEEKS tOO...;D
