Meaning
A thick soup built on gungo (pigeon) peas, boiled down with ground provisions, yam, dumplings, pumpkin, and salted or fresh meat until rich and hearty. Because gungo peas come into season around Christmas, gungo soup — like gungo rice and peas — carries a festive, end-of-year feeling, and a big pot of it is a warming weekend and holiday meal.
