In reply to sudden
Yuh see what I mean?
Typical bajan don't know de difference between a conkie and a stew dumpling!!
In reply to culpepperboy
funnily enough, yesterday, i ate a stew dumpling that tasted just like a conkie
In reply to culpepperboy
Did you know that Conkie is the derivative of the Ghanian dish called Kenkey?
kenkey
Mediavine
WHAT IS KENKEY?
Kenkey is a typical Ghanaian dish made from fermented white corn, which is widely consumed throughout the country by Ga people from southern Ghana.
Mediavine
The Ga tribe calls it komi. The Fante tribe who lives in the center of the country calls it dokono.
In reply to Larr Pullo
Didnt know that! I thought it was an indigenous dish!
In reply to StumpCam
Nope, straight from Africa. FuFu/FooFoo is also from Nigeria.
In reply to Larr Pullo
Well done, Larr. i see that Burnham scholarship hasnt gone to waste or to your waist.
i take it that guyanese enjoy a stew dumpling conkie or two. or did bajans take that to guyana?
In reply to sudden
So most Bajans were originally from the area that is now known as Nigeria in Western Africa. So KenKey might have followed a different path. I know people in the islands who call it by the Fante tribal name Dokono or Dookoono
In reply to sudden
Burnham, as a Bajan transplant, took care of his fellow Bajans.
All of this long talk 'bout origins and I still ain't get nuh conkies!!
In reply to sudden
If you don't know de difference between a conkie and a stew dumpling, I can't help you!! You too far gone!!
In reply to Larr Pullo
so are conkies a local fare in Guyana?
we have around independence in November mostly
In reply to Larr Pullo
They prepare it with out without currants/raisins?
In reply to Larr Pullo
Was aware..and thankfully enough of us have carried on with the traditions from our original mother regions.
may is long continue.
In reply to culpepperboy
I actually agree with you...this is the first November that I have ever gone this long without eating a single conkie.
was supposed to get some last week and the woman call me to apologize for not being able to satisfy my desires...
how about a stew dumpling?
@ the Bajans.
Conkies are stew dumplings but poor great people add cherries and raisins to the recipe so they wouldnt be eating poor people food, I concluded.

In reply to powen001
Nah your ancestors were Pygmies that somehow got swept up in a raid.
In reply to FuzzyWuzzy
Dookoona is one of the original names. Not sure of the origin of funghi.
Traces of our African heritage still remain in the Caribbean, in foodstuff, stories and miscellaneous words. In a few cases, huge pieces remain, as in Berbice Dutch and religious languages in Cuba, Haiti and a few others.
For some reason, we have not done comprehensive studies to preserve what is left or tie it all together. We need to.
Even Burnham did very little to study, preserve or promote African heritage. He promoted the basic concept that our African heritage was important and just as worthy of our attention as any other culture, tho.
Maybe one day we will get it right - museums, books, videos, classes, etc, all in a few selected places across the Caribbean, etc.
In reply to Larr Pullo
Some pygmies were pissing in a bush when the slavers passed by
In reply to Larr Pullo
i did a ancestry .com test earlier and am 75% fulani, 10% hausa, 10% asante and 5% other
In reply to sudden
Pygmies were/are one of the smartest people in Africa, and one of the greatest survivors around. So, all you should be proud to have the likes Powen in all you midst!
In reply to Norm

a former SMGS girlfriend told me that Powen makes a good conkie
In reply to cherri

In reply to sudden
Even as a pygmy I would have still towered over the intellectual troglodytes on this board!!!

BTW, I love well-made conkie. I don't know how they make it in Bdos, but add some corn flour and nutmeg, wrap it well in plantain or banana leaves, and pressure it good ...!
