Proud Bajan – Conkies…!!! (#106)
To the uninitiated, a
conkie is a local delicacy we make at Independence.
It is a concoction of corn
flour, coconut (grated), pumpkin, sweet potato, milk, butter, raisins, sugar,
spice, nutmeg…
These ingredients are
mixed together and portions are placed on a piece of a banana leaf, which is
then folded. They are then steamed in a
saucepan over stems of the banana leaves.
There is nothing so sweet
as a conkie. As we say in Barbados, “For
real!”
Banana
tree here I come!!
