Great Post ! Could almost imagine tasting it. I love porridge – never had ‘cornmeal’ porridge, Is it easy to find?

I find that it easy to come across in my local supermarket. It has a section for foods around the world. You may also know it as polenta. Let me know how you get on Ann:)

We traditionally use the dried Cinnamon leaves in Porridge, often instead of the bark .
Have you ever had green Banana Porridge.
Walthamstow? Cool! anywhere near Corbett Road?
BTW am Jamaican and i still live here in Kingston.

Keep up the good work

This beautifully written and vividly detailed post brings us back to your childhood home in Jamaica–and makes us feel like welcome guests in your family kitchen.

Thanks for sharing this–and the recipe. I will make your scrumptious porridge on the next cold morning.

Let me know how the porridge goes Lorraine. LOL, sorry to dissapoint you Lorraine but my childhood home was in Walthamstow, East London….

What lovely memories and yummy food! My hubby did a mission trip to Grenada and returned with lots of spices including cinnamon, sounds like this is a keeper for a chilly autumn morning, thanks for sharing.
