So, how have you been? Me? I'm fine! This week I am going to let you have a
sneak peek at Jamaican snack food.

On another note, I am not too sure that this publication is making it past your spam filter due to the member ads. I would ask that you add this publication to your list of kosher addresses. After all, what's the sense in subscribing if you aren't getting your weekly fill of JamaicaCuizine.

And for those of you who are advertising, how do you know if and when your ad is published apart from the date I tell you and my word of honour.

Anyway, look sharp, I have a competition coming up in the near future and the prizes
will be of value to those of you who are into internet marketing. So read your ezine!

As usual, feel free to email me at mailto:cuizine@ebiz-netrepreneur.net
with any comments or questions. I'm feeling rather lonely, hint, hint!

Welcome to JamaicaCuizine!

Feature Article / Whet Your Appetite / "Coconut"
by JLCC

"Get Yuh Coconut Wata! Coconut! Man It Good For Your Dawta...!" Harry Belafonte

Have you any idea how delicious Coconuts are? Jamaicans use them
in a wide variety of ways. We have them as nature provided them,
we have them cooked and we even drink the water. Ever had Coconut
Water with Red or White Rum?

They are used a great deal in snack foods. From "Totoes" to "Grater
Cakes", where they form the total snack with sugar and flavouring. Yummy!
Jamaica's National Dish is Ackee & Salt (Cod) Fish. You wouldn't know it,
however, since most of us have Rice & Peas, with Chicken (or another meat)
almost every Sunday. Coconut features in this too. You wonder how, huh?

Well, some of us cook our peas (kidney beans) in Coconut Milk and some add
the Milk once the peas are cooked. The one thing that remains consistent is
the Milk. And of course, there is no need to take the long route these days
(i.e. break the Coconut shell, cut up Coconut and grate by hand or in a
blender as commercially produced Coconut Powder is readily available in
Supermarkets.

In the past Jamaica produced Coconut for export, however, I am not sure what
amounts are produced today and indeed, if we are still exporting this commodity.

A few years ago, Coconuts suddenly got a bad rap because of their high fat content.
This, through Scientific Research. There has been a turn around in recent times,
however, and it is now recognized that Coconuts are heart healthy and high in
potassium, which the body needs. Research done via the internet lists
beneficial properties including the fact that the water is effective in the treatment
of Kidney and Urethral Stones and that it a good re-hydration medium for the body.

The water is now sold commercially in Jamaica and enjoys great popularity. Today,
however, we will focus our attention on the meat.

This Week's Specialty / The Main Course
"Grater Cake"

This is a traditional Jamaican snack and is quite easy to make.
You just have to get your mixture to the right degree of stickiness
before removing from the stove. You will need:-

2 cups grated coconut (with all the brown stuff removed)
3 cups granulated sugar (Brown sugar can also be used, add Ginger though)
1/2 cup water
White Vanilla or Almond Flavouring (optional)
A pinch of salt

1. Combine all ingredients in an saucepan. Ensure it's a thick one.

2. Boil until the Coconut is soft. The liquid will be all gone by this time.

3. Ensure that the mixture is sticky enough to hold together.

4. Remove from heat and beat Mixture for 1-2 Minutes.

5. Place on a greased sheet in heaps using a table spoon.
Make a small depression in the middle of each cake.

6. Colour a small amount of Coconut and place in small heaps atop the bigger cake.

7. Alternately, you may place coconut in a square dish and press
with the back of a spoon. Second batch will have to be made in
this instance and coloured. Allow to cool and cut into sqares.
