Hey guys, does anyone have a good recipe for good ole fashion turn cornmeal? Back in Ja they used to call it dog food....lol.....but here I'd like to think of it as Polenta. My mom used to make it with salt fish, okra, onions, tomatoes, etc and coconut milk but unfortunately I never learned how to do it and sure miss her cooking now. In Barbados they call it Coocoo & serve it with fish.. Guess I could try to make it one day. But does anyone know how? :smile:

    sorry i don't have a recipe. i never use to like turn cornmeal as a child but about 10 years ago one of my university flatmates who is italian made me polenta and it was delish:tongue: . we had it with pork sausages in a tomato sauce. apparently in the region in italy where she is from, it is their signature dish

    Turn cornmeal seem to be growing in popularity these days...while I was never a great lover of it I loved the scrapings from the bottom of the pot....just as much as I loved the scrapings from Rice and Peas...lol...lol...lol. MEMORIES
