Cornmeal porridge
Jamaican Restaurant in The Bronx Serving the Best Cornmeal Porridge
Cornmeal Porridge
A traditional favorite among islanders, cornmeal porridge is a great way to start the day. If you like hot breakfast cereals, you’ll love this flavorful blend of cornmeal, milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla, cooked into a rich, creamy porridge and served piping hot. Jamaican cornmeal porridge is a good option for the sick and the young, as it provides fast nourishment and energizes the body. Cornmeal porridge is so popular that it’s often sold by the roadside during the morning commute, and Bob Marley gave it a shout-out in his hit song No Woman, No Cry.
Cornmeal porridge is a breakfast staple simply because it’s creamy, delicious, and simple to make. It’s usually the first “real” food babies are given when they’re being weaned. Many Jamaicans dip pieces of hard dough bread in their porridge bowls, and some even break up the bread and allow it to soak in all that warm, creamy goodness.
Sometimes referred to as “pop” or “cog”, cornmeal porridge is one of the most common breakfasts in Jamaican homes. Not only is it filling and delicious, but it is also easy and quick to make. By adding the cornmeal to very cold milk (and stirring frequently), your porridge will come out creamy and smooth every time.
Though some people use water to make porridge, traditional Jamaican recipes call for milk. Cornmeal porridge is often sweetened with condensed milk or sugar, to reflect the diner’s preferences.
