Ground corn, milk, sugar, essence rolled in banana leaves and baked in/on a yabba.

this sounds like Dukunu in Jamaica. Which I've never had, BTW. I've also never been sure if it's a dessert or wha.

It is a bit different. Especially how it is cooked. From what I know the dukuna is the same and made of sweet patato. used to be in fig leaves nonetheless but is cooked in water or even steamed. Dukuna and saltfish was almost our national dish but fungi took its place. Fungee or Tunfungi to some roun south, me think is turn cornmeal.

I presume cactus is not eaten everywhere but how that came about is rather interesting.

The end result from the people was 'we rather dead fuss'. So de people stood off for over a year and survived on alternatives. so dem say!
