The food we cooked

We used a lot of methods to cook depending on what we were preparing. In my last blog I spoke a bit about how we cooked and what we cook on. The dirt oven was used to bake cake, sweet bread, breads, roasted meat. Everything has delicious smoky taste.
  
We had dishes like Boi, cassava coo coo, curried pawpaw, fizzle fowl, roast breadfruit and smoke herring Johnny bake, float and roast salt fish or corn fish and  Tom-tom to name a few. These name would surprise you too because most of them have no relation to their name for example.

The fizzle fowl is real curry chatine, the Johnny bake is a bake that has been layer with lard while the Boi is made from half fresh corn grated to form a dumpling. And Tom-tom is a mixture of provision such as plantain, dasheen etc. pounded in a mortar. So to night I will share with you how to make one of these dishes.
Boi
 5 Fresh whole corn shaved directly from the kernel
1 cup flour for binding
salt and sugar to taste.

METHOD
Put the shave corn and place in food processor and blend
add the flour and combine. Place in tumbling boiling water until cooked
 take out and enjoy with curry fish etc.
