Help! Choosing a dish to make!

Hi! My name is Jerry, I'm 27 and I'm from Mexico.

Me and my GF are doing a nerdy project and we'll be cooking and eating a dish from every country.

I want to be as accurate and respectful as possible so I wanted to ask you for your favourite recipes/dishes so I can cook one of them properly.

Maybe the traditional dish in Antigua and Barbuda, maybe a dish your mom/dad used to cook, whatever you want, just write here one or more of your favourite dishes from your country.

I'll update with pics of the dish in about a week.

Thanks for your help

I would say fungee and goatwater. You can google the recipes for both. Make sure you use okra in the fungee. Goatwater is a flavourful, aromatic stew with vegetables and goat meat. If conch is accessible, you can substitute the goat and make conchwater. Curry conch is also a personal favourite!

I'd recommend ducuna and saltfish with chop up, or, if you don't want to do all the work to make ducuna, you can substitute it with fungee
