For me It is not an easy thing to choose a favourite holiday food, since I like all of them. However, the 2 that I like the most at Christmas time, (we do not have Thanksgiving here), is yam pie and jug-jug. Jug-jug is a local dish here which is done traditionally at Christmas time in most households. It is made with green peas or dried peas. The peas are thoroughly cooked in well-seasoned water which would consist of either salt meat or ham, with other seasonings like thyme, marjoram, onions, cayenne pepper and salt. The peas would then be removed from the water and crushed in the processor. Most of the water from the pot would be thrown off leaving only a small amount in the pot. The minced peas would then be returned to the pot, and guinea corn flour and margarine would be added. The mixture would then be stirred and cooked over a low heat for a few minutes until the right texture is obtained. Christmas would not be the same without jug-jug. It is usually a dish that is used on New Year's Day as well.
My favourite desserts would be cheesecake and black fruit cake. Black fruit cake is very popular at this season as well.
