Looks like what we call “harina” in Cuba

Another word for corn flour is farine. Interesting.

Fish and grits… minus the okra

Okra is a staple down South… but not usually with fish and grits.

Jamaicans will eat fish with okra, it can be served with this cornmeal as well. It’s delicious.

Wouldn't this be the equivalent to cornbread? Of the texture/cooking style is different, but it seems like it's being used in a similar fashion.

Know it as funji but don't like it. It's a staple all throughout the diaspora though.

My mother told me that some people use coconut instead of okra in Antigua

Bro thank you my english speaking brain clashing with my spanish speaking brain was like "what the fukk do we call cornmeal " and of course its fukking harina duh

So this is harina mashed with quimbobo (okra)? Do we even eat those things combined like that? Ive had both just separate... either this is something Cubans dont do or yall mfers exposing my mom and grandma dukes as not being versatile cooks

Edit: ok just called up mom dukes she said yea we do eat it like that but its also used in Santeria rituals as food for ancestors because thats what the ancestors ate... Ive personally never tried it but fukk it now Im interested

Looks just like him, even has the hard stare. I was wondering why a chef looked so mean during a photo shoot.
