I love this lady....she reminds of those Jamaican school or Sunday school teachers that really love teaching their students. Thank you so much for your Great videos👌👏💗🙏🏼🤗💞
Ms. Debbie I Really Love Ur Videos Bc U Do Everything From Scratch The Way My Grandmother Use To Do It. And I'm Very Much Into Watching Videos That Do Things From Scratch.. I Pray That God Gives Long Life And Good Health And A Greaceful Mind To Do This For Us Who Knows What Good Cooking Is But Are Not Able To Do It In Forine Counties. Thank You Again..
I never liked tun cornmeal as a kid, but this little Kingston girl did love pot bottom bun bun and still do! I even top my cornmeal porridge with it😂 As an adult, I acquired a taste for Polenta, which is the Italian version of our tun cornmeal. You have taken me back to my roots Ms. Debbie, and this deliciousness will now be a staple for me, thank you. 🙏💗
Thanks very much, In Antigua we call it Fungee, instead of chives and thyme, we cook okra into it, some people even put a little sugar and some kids like raisins in it Its a favorite to eat on Good Friday with steam fish or salt fish and ground provision..I love it, and personally I like it wet from the teacup...Also most people use regular water instead of coconut milk, but which ever recipe you use, Me luv me tun cornmeal.
I'm now a New Yorker born and raised in Macon Ga. our version to tun cornmeal would be GRITS as a child I loved when the grits would stick to the pot like that. We called it SCOTCH almost burned but not burned up. To me it was the best of the grits could not get enough wished the whole pot could get that way.😁😁😁
Ms. Debbie the bun bun is di best part of the tun cornmeal. Mi use to scrap di bottom of di pot. A nice twist would be salt pork, chop it up small or bacon with mixed peppers. A want to tell you that foreigners eat this a lot they call it polenta.
I love your videos and also your kitchen... it don't look staged it looks like you and your family actually cook in it... very relaxing to watch... just like getting cooking lessons from my aunt or grandmother
I just want to big you up with thanks for sharing your authentic recipes with us all really enjoy watching you as much as trying your recipes keep up the cook work have subscribed and shared
I couldn’t think of anything to twist this recipe with, it’s perfect! That pot you use is a magic pot, the more mileage it gets, the better it performs. If I had a choice to become any country, I would choose Jamaica! There is just love in every bite, every meal, thanks for sharing your home with all of us.
Awesome I love how you did your run corn its the first time I heard the name tun cornmeal looks very tasty to. But in Trinidad here we call it cocou .I put my coconut water to boil n season with ocrhoes,permentoes ,cheyanne peppers,chive,black pepper,garlic n salt to taste to flavour after letting it boil for awhile I swizzle my ingriedients to mash then up using the same method you used before pouring it into the pot I keep turning so that it keeps its form and put it on a low fire then add in a piece of butter until its comes in how I want it then I butter my dish n pour it in for awhile until it settles n shape in the form of a pie so I can cut into n share like a slice of cake . but I love your method n going to try it .thank you for your display.
I love how yuh bring the old time cooking to life. Simpler is better and more delicious. Thank you and your camera girl for taking the time to put these videos together.
Miss Debbie hats off to You.You are the only person beside my deceased mother who passed away 13yrs now who cook corn coocoo til you scrape the bunbun.You brought back so many memories for me and I thank you. She was from Tobago and as kids my brother and I couldn't wait to get the pot to scrape and eat the bunbun..We had it with fry and stew fish and calalloo ..Oh how I wish I could hug you for that ms Debbie you made my night
Bun Bun a my favorite part yes and I grow up a St Mary up a Juno Pen/Enfield they use to add Corn pork and saltfish the fresh Coconut milk is the best..Bless up Ms Debbie 🇯🇲🇯🇲
I would watch you cook any day!!! You are magic! I would twist it with sliced sautéed okra and diced red and green peppers- everything else just like you do!! One of my grandpa ‘s and Mother’s favorite dishes- served with either steam fish or salt fish...Blessings and love Miss Debbie!!
Miss Debbie thank you. I made this last night and it’s wonderful! I had it with your chicken curry last night and fried some up today. My two adults sons’ father is Jamaican and I appreciate you enabling them to experience just how superb Jamaican cuisine is. From Australia with thanks 💕 Sharene
Twist 1. Chop some onion, green and red sweet pepper and thinly slice and cube scotch bonnet pepper and lightly fry. Add to tun cornmeal. 2. Okra sliced and added while cooking tun cornmeal. 3. Add cook up salt fish with onions and sweet pepper. 4. Scallion slice gently friend with prawns and add to tun cornmeal. These are my favourite twist. Have lots more too. Shout out to Judith Williams I live in Kent UK. Much love and respect 😙
Here on quarantine..searched high and low for this recipe.. this is what I remember as a child.. SIMPLE TUN CORNMEAL.... that's it.. no mix veggie.. no beans.. just soso tun cornmeal.. love it
Hi Debbie, Girl I love your show. I love Tun Cornmeal your style and I give it a twist at times with diced carrot and threaded callaloo, or diced carrot with threaded cabbage and I love to put some flaked salt fish in mine. Thanks for sharing about the rice bitters and the sour sop leaves. I enjoyed them.
Ms Debbie I make it all with these same exact steps, in that exact same way ,with added chopped okras as my mother and grandma taught us. My mother was from Barbados, and my grandma from St Lucia, and love it so very much with a side of sweet potatoe ,ripe plantain,slice avocado with fry fish and gravy with a chilled passion fruit juice.That’s exactly my Sunday meal 😋😋😋❤️❤️❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
In PR when we add the coconut milk when we prepare it sweet, like a dessert. We eat it cold. What you have prepared we call it funche. We accompany with red beans, or fish, or salt fish or any stewed meat. Soooooo good! Love how passionate you are about what you do. Blessings to you and yours. NEVER stop cooking the authentic way. Thank you!
I am from Jamaica, Manchester as a child my mother would make tun cornmeal exactly like you. The bun, bun (the bottom of the pot) was the best part. Some time she also would add little bits of meat or cod fish. This is the best. Thanks
My mother was from Kingston, my daddy was from St. Mary’s. Instinctively,I got a little annoyed when she scraped too much away, because the pot scrapings were for me. I was the baby, and am only now realizing how they spoiled me, because my mother loved that part too. RIP to my beautiful mother, she loved watching Miss Debbie before she passed too. The cook very similarly. Even growing up in Jamaica, Queens I watched her get out her hammer every Sunday to open up the dry coconut and make, grater it, and I pushed it through the strainer, to make coconut milk for the rice and peas and to freeze for Tun cornmeal during the week days. Despite canned and frozen being available, she did this well into the 1990’s. Granny was born and raised in Kingston too, so I wonder who came down from the country, because apparently they did everything the country way.
Hailing from Barbados, we do a similar dish to this. It is done with okras and not the coconut milk , would love to do a cook off with you mum. Jamaican V bajan.
Yes ms Debbie meh memba Di bahtum ah Di tun cornmeal yeees ah Di sweetest part fi true mi ah country bwoy . Faah st Elizabeth, ah wan gud pizzah fuud Ms Debbie bless up to u always x
Miss Debbie I luv your natural down to Earth feel good way that u cook. It’s so comforting watching u work your Caribbean magic in your warm and inviting kitchen.
Ms. Debbie, I LOVE the cooking you do from Scratch it is the way I was taught how to cook! Nothing was ever measured except for cake ingredients, roll, Indian Fried bread and such, It was by sight and smell! My Great Grandmother was from the Dutch West Indies (Kidnapped of course) And married off to a (White) Irish fisherman that is how we got an Irish last name : ( Her son married my Grandmother who was a (Blackfoot Indian) Native Amerikan and could cook from scratch very, very well! She could even make a Kool-Aid cake with Icing form Kool-Aid too! You can look it up on your computer Kool-Aid! (TWIST) NO# 1 Make everything the way you did it except to your mixture for the cup mold the Torn Cornmeal/then add to one cup mold Bacon to the whole mixture to go in that cup of Torn Cornmeal mixture, Decorate it with bacon crumbles! NO#2 Use your recipe when you make the next cup mold, but in the middle of it add Egg's Benedict to it, you know with the poached egg and Hollisdays Sauce in the middle of the Torn Cornmeal Mixture! Decorate it with a little Hollindays Sauce and Red Peper Flakes for color that should go well with the Scotch Bonnet Pepper in your Sauce! You could also add sweet multi-colored peppers to the plates to make it festive for decorations with!
I just made mine with sautéed sweet pepper, tomato, onion, escallion and garlic. Added sweet corn, shredded white cheddar cheese and some crushed canned mackerel (in tomato sauce). Soooo good! I love your video Ms. Debbie, you now have a new subscriber!
Omg Debbie what are you doing to me? I Sooo remember the bun bun! That is my favourite bit with some saltfish or mackerel! Blessings and thank you for the lovely share💯😘😘😘👌I was born in ST Mary Hampstead 👌 #countrygal
I was just searching for a recipe to make it and wanted to do I the right way, last time I did it right was in the 1980's. Thank you so much for your time.🇯🇲🇯🇲
A wooden spoon is best to tun the cornmeal also grease the container to set the tun cornmeal, it slips out nice n neat. We here in Antigua call it funge.
I love this this lady ❤️❤️ I'm 20 years old and I believe I just found myself another authentic old time Jamaican mother who can teach you the ways of back in the days😁😁 keep up the realness of your content👍👍 not hiding your knowledge 👏 you are definitely being a blessing to others and to me💖💖

Miss Debbie I really love your videos. I watch your video before I start to cook. I love tun cornmeal but I never know how to cook it. Thanks for this wonderful video.🙂
Thanks for being such a sweet genuine lady. I have been waiting on this recipe for sometime. My mother used to make this with different meats and fish. It was alway so very tasty. Thanks for the memories Miss Deb.
I wish I can have so e ow. i would add some colorful chopped sweet peppers.to it to brighten it up and have s nice crunchy taste to it especially when you cup it and plate it. Nice presentation.
Good morning Ms. Debbie, I cooked some this morning for the first time by following your instructions, it turned out absolutely wonderful. My mom approved. Yesterday I commented on your green banana porridge, cooked that yesterday with your steps,it was so good. Thank you. 🤗
the twist to this is Panama sweet turn corn meal we use the same procedure just use cinnamon stick, vanilla , yellow coloring , butter and sugar to taste and raisins.
My mother would put snapper fillet in her, and also serve it with fish either fried, steamed or stewed. Lawd mi affi gi go over har house dis weekend so we can do some dem cooking ya. Thank you Debbie nice childhood memories.
Hello Ms Debbie..in Antigua we use okro (okra) instead of herbs and we call it fungee (pronounced foon-g) so perhaps you could add the okro to your lovely recipe..😊..I will certainly try it with the herbs...
My dad used to make Tun Cornmeal from, Scratch with steam fish 🐠. The scrapping was the best. Since Cov-19, I had the urge to make it at 🏡. Bought cornmeal !.. until now , I did not accomplish my mission! One of these days! Love your style.... I love to cook, bake etc.
Hi i know this video is about 4 years ago but i still watches your videos. And as i speak i am now cooking some tun corn meals at this moment and it smells sooooooo good yummy
With a few alteration, it came out great. Thanks. Add a few more seasoning such as carrots, sweet pepper green&red and tomatoes. Real herbal style it was great. Love the crispy bun bun part too😍
Damn, how come I haven't seen this channel before? And this meal was made on my B/Day (yes, I am 17 don't be rude and ask LOL). I go to church with Jamaican ladies and boy, can they cook! One adopted me as her "American Daughter" even though I am Kenyan originally and she is the reason I cannot lose weight. LOL
My my !!! Miss Debievme can't wait Fi tell u how it sell off I jus did it and my husband sey yes ,a Suh me Love it lol .Me lauf so tell Miss Debie u a Real chefff No twist to This recipe.Love . Continue to cook dem nice dish here when I want something Extra I will be getting on ur channel .Bug up u self miss Debie .
My mum used to make this dish for us in England when we were children and I still love it, i'm in my late 50s now. I have heard jamaicans in England call this poor man food and would not dream of eating it. But, it's their loss because its delicious! Thank you for your video🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
you will laugh at this... but it works. I place the coconut in a plastic shopping bag (double bag it for durability) wrapping it around the coconut as much as possible ... THEN I set it down on the floor (preferably on top of a mat, etc.) and use a hammer or other hard object to pound it - not too hard but firmly. The plastic bag prevents the pieces or shell from flying all over the place and creating a mess. I also find that doing it this way, usually separates the shell or most of it THEN the pieces that are left in the shell, you use a sharp knife with a point (not too sharp now)...CAREFULLY PRY it between the shell and the coconut flesh (best to start at a pointed end and incline the knife point away from you hand and a bit downward towards the hard shell ), THEN giggle it till the flesh and the shell are gradually separated. (it will be hard and laborious to do at first ... but just be very careful until you get the hang of it)
Some people on the comments are so dumb. This is a dish that can be done in many ways. Everyone put their own twist on it. So if you and your grandma on another planet use to make it different then ok. Rastafarians make it different in Jamaica. My family makes it with fish, and whatever seafood scraps because ultimately this is Jamaica's dog food. Also, the Ghanaians make it many different ways. Some of ou have nothing to do but criticize. I seriously doubt most of you women can even cook.
I think u may have missed that Ms Debs invited people to offer their suggestions on various twists that they know of or can be done. They are not criticizing just offering what she encouraged. So u may be taking it the wrong way. It is used commonly in Jamaica adding various dinner scraps to make dog food but I wouldn't say that it is ultimately dog food just a cheap method to stretch meats to feed dogs. Some can't digest and prefer rice. It is what is added and enjoyed in different cultures as you said and have different names... Polenta, Foo Foo, etc
I love this lady....she reminds of those Jamaican school or Sunday school teachers that really love teaching their students. Thank you so much for your Great videos👌👏💗🙏🏼🤗💞
You've got to love this empress. Louise Bennett would be so proud of her.
Mis Ded is a national treasure...

Hello Ms Debbie..in Antigua we use okro (okra) instead of herbs and we call it fungee (pronounced foon-g) so perhaps you could add the okro to your lovely recipe..😊..I will certainly try it with the herbs...
Big up fellow Antiguan
My dad used to make Tun Cornmeal from, Scratch with steam fish 🐠. The scrapping was the best. Since Cov-19, I had the urge to make it at 🏡. Bought cornmeal !.. until now , I did not accomplish my mission! One of these days! Love your style.... I love to cook, bake etc.
Bun bun is the sweetest part. You made my day. Thanks Debbie

This girl from down south USA and love that coconut 🥥. Me like Camera Girl and drink the wata from shell. Love you. Much respect.
With a few alteration, it came out great. Thanks. Add a few more seasoning such as carrots, sweet pepper green&red and tomatoes. Real herbal style it was great. Love the crispy bun bun part too😍
Damn, how come I haven't seen this channel before? And this meal was made on my B/Day (yes, I am 17 don't be rude and ask LOL). I go to church with Jamaican ladies and boy, can they cook! One adopted me as her "American Daughter" even though I am Kenyan originally and she is the reason I cannot lose weight. LOL
Yes miss Debbie I am from St Mary so I know what you talking about I love turn cornmeal thank you keep us the good cooking!!

Our pleasure!
My mum used to make this dish for us in England when we were children and I still love it, i'm in my late 50s now. I have heard jamaicans in England call this poor man food and would not dream of eating it. But, it's their loss because its delicious! Thank you for your video🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
You are so welcome
Coo coo with steam fish and ochro o my God love it
Deb - wish you had shown how to open the coconut on camera, some of us don't know. xoxo
ok i can do a video on that
Just tap with the hammer around the top of the coconut.
Easy to crack you can smash it on a hard surface and it open easy same way
you will laugh at this... but it works. I place the coconut in a plastic shopping bag (double bag it for durability) wrapping it around the coconut as much as possible ... THEN I set it down on the floor (preferably on top of a mat, etc.) and use a hammer or other hard object to pound it - not too hard but firmly. The plastic bag prevents the pieces or shell from flying all over the place and creating a mess. I also find that doing it this way, usually separates the shell or most of it THEN the pieces that are left in the shell, you use a sharp knife with a point (not too sharp now)...CAREFULLY PRY it between the shell and the coconut flesh (best to start at a pointed end and incline the knife point away from you hand and a bit downward towards the hard shell ), THEN giggle it till the flesh and the shell are gradually separated. (it will be hard and laborious to do at first ... but just be very careful until you get the hang of it)
Some people on the comments are so dumb. This is a dish that can be done in many ways. Everyone put their own twist on it. So if you and your grandma on another planet use to make it different then ok. Rastafarians make it different in Jamaica. My family makes it with fish, and whatever seafood scraps because ultimately this is Jamaica's dog food. Also, the Ghanaians make it many different ways. Some of ou have nothing to do but criticize. I seriously doubt most of you women can even cook.
ivorysteele that’s how some ppl are stupid like everyone get cooking lesson from the same teacher in the same kitchen 🙄🙄
I think u may have missed that Ms Debs invited people to offer their suggestions on various twists that they know of or can be done. They are not criticizing just offering what she encouraged. So u may be taking it the wrong way.
It is used commonly in Jamaica adding various dinner scraps to make dog food but I wouldn't say that it is ultimately dog food just a cheap method to stretch meats to feed dogs. Some can't digest and prefer rice.
It is what is added and enjoyed in different cultures as you said and have different names... Polenta, Foo Foo, etc
ivorysteele laud me want it now wid some fry fish
This is lovely, I will be doing this for Sunday dinner today.
Hope you enjoy
