"Coo-coo" Also known as "Fungi" (foon-jee)
Though Coo-coo is traditionally credited to Barbados, it appears in a great many islands - including Jamaica, Trinidad, and Tobago.
In the Netherlands Antilles and the Virgin islands it is called "Funchi" or "Fungi" (NOT "Fungus", and is pronounced "foon-jee").
In some recipes Coo-coo is cooked without the okras, sometimes even without butter - though this produces a rather bland dish. There is also a sweet fungi, popular in the Virgin Islands.
Okra Coo-coo in Barbados is served with the island specialty, steamed flying fish, but it is also served in other islands as a starchy vegetable with any meat or fish, and sometimes with tomato sauce.
A close relative of Cous-cous, the word Coo-coo means a cooked side dish, and in addition to corn meal Coo-coo there is Conquintay (plantain flour) Coo-coo, Breadfruit Coo-coo, Cassava Coo-coo, an interesting corn meal and coconut version from Grenada, and one from Trinidad made with fresh sweet corn.
Cold Coo-coo can also be cut into slices and fried in butter or vegetable oil.
