Meaning of feg | Babel Free

Noun CEFR C2

Definitions

A piece, a clove (of segmented produce, especially oranges and garlic).

Caribbean, dialectal

Examples

“I have many relations and friends who are West Indians. They always speak of the section of an orange as a "fig," and of tearing an orange into its different pieces as "figging an orange." This does not apply to a division by knife.”
“Place about ten to fifteen fegs of garlic, half cup of dried fine thyme, (more if fresh thyme is used), 4 or more wiri wiri peppers, and a tablespoon of salt in a blender with about a cup of vinegar and blend for about a minute until well blended.”
