    Amazing how all of us descendants of African slaves here in the Americas have something like this--grits in the American South, mais molu in Haiti, Cuban fufu', Dominican mangu, cornmeal porridge in Jamaica, and so on. Food is the one thing they couldn't take from us, and thank God for that! This looks yummy!

    Hi KezzieAnn and Chef Jason, thank you for teaching us to cook tasty dishes. You have taught me a different method of cooking - adding the seasonings separately, allowing each one to saute for a few minutes to release their flavors. I am excited to try this coo coo, it is soo colorful and looks delicious.

    Love the segments, you guys make me smile from the soul, I'm a 'Foodie', home Chef and have been cooking since age 9! We all do, don't know anyone in the vast and diverse family that cyah cook! I've been privileged to live and work all over the Caribbean and as such, in Antigua and Barbuda, legend has it that if a young lady can't tunn ah ball ah funji, well, she's not likely to get married, I'm Antigua it is delicious and served with steamed or stewed fish and other local traditional sides, a treat for the soul--much like looking at 'Foodie Nation'. I've learned much from island to Island and there are so many different techniques to prepare dishes that we have grown up with. Travel, Cook, Experiment, Eat, With Family And Close Friends!
    Happy Cooking Guys, You're The Best! Well done! Excellent Platform For All Foodies!
    Live! Love! Laugh! Cook! Eat! With a smile!
    Oh, I spell it like chef does, but with a hyphen: Chadon-Beni.

    Hey guys, I want to thank y'all for the great service online for having great Trini meals.
    What's good even a novice can follow your instructions ,and make a tasty meal to perfection since y'all took the time to provide details of ingredients down to the 1/4 Tsp of Salt.
    Thank you guys, I've recommended Foodie Nation menus to friends local and foreign and they were impress also.

    Years ago I had a conversation with a Panamanian. He said he likes Coo Coo, I starting laughing historically. The reason I was laughing because as a little boy growing up on the Island of St. Croix my grandmother always asked me if I need to coo coo. That's when he went into details and explained what it's made of. So I said to him, we call it Fungi, everyone started laughing.

  • @bonitaweekes4366
    @bonitaweekes4366 5 років тому +3

    No, no, no, in Barbados we don't call it Fungi that is criminal. Cou Cou and Flying fish is our national dish. Our Cou Cou is just Okra in the Cornmeal that is stirred and cooked until mellow. A Cou Cou stick is another impliment that you must have to get the lumps out. We grease a round shaped container with butter and unmould on to individual plates. It's not supposed to be dry, the Okra are what makes it smooth otherwise my Granny would not be happy.

    Original spelling was "chardon beni" French for "blessed thistle". lt was called that by the French because of its resemblance to a Mediterranean weed of the same name that was used for medicinal purposes and as they saw the Amerindians using the local plant similarly.
    The spelling has long been localised as "chadon beni"

    Who else considers the traditional shape of coo coo to be... a round ball??? I remember my mom explaining to me when I was a child that the mark of a good cook used to be a woman who could make the balls with her bare hands (despite the heat!). She taught me a trick to make balls without having to touch the hot cornmeal... I always thought the whole, 'flatten it out in a pyrex dish' thing was restaurant people being lazy 😂
