You know Christmas is ‘around the corner’ when green gungo peas take pride of place at Coronation Market. Vendors can be seen busy picking the precious peas from their pods ready for those shoppers who prefer to buy the ready-to-cook peas by the pint or quart. Also, remember to get your coconuts for your gungo rice and peas.
