    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.😁😁😁

  • @juleenforbes
    @juleenforbes 6 ปีที่แล้ว +54

    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 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.

Thanks for sharing about the rice bitters and the sour sop leaves. I enjoyed them.

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.

    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

    • @Msboochie2
      @Msboochie2 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    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!

    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...

      Easy to crack you can smash it on a hard surface and it open easy same way

    • @audreesantana7344
      @audreesantana7344 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    • @caroles3425
      @caroles3425 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      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
