Hi Tinarine, I enjoy your recipes; I grew up in Barbados during the 60's Conkies and stew dumplings are the same thing. I use milk but never eggs in my conkies. All the other ingredients you use I do too.

[@Tinaraine]

Hi Yvonne, happy holidays! I tend to say Conkies a lot but yes its the same name as stew dumplings, A lot of people don't use eggs but its a preference, I feel it makes my conkies nice and smooth, but that can be just my imagination. Thanks for watching have a great evening

[@kerriannejones9351]

Thank you for this video!!! You are preserving Barbadian culture ❤

[@Tinaraine]

Thank you Kerrianne, We have to let younger people be aware of their culture. The older generation is gone, so It's up to us to carry on the torch.

[@marilynking5885]

Tina you bring back some childhood memories..them conkies look so delicious

[@Tinaraine]

Hi Marilyn, Thank you so much, I'm glad you were able to watch

[@Sweetbimsha]

I use brown sugar and instead of corn meal, I use corn flour. That is what my grandmother used. They come out very nice and smooth.

[@Tinaraine]

Hi Dianne, as long as there come out smooth and tasting great that's all that matters. Those older people could cook. Thanks for watching

[@lindsaylincoln2874]

Just wanted to to say thanks for posting. My husband and I watch your videos every Sunday. When you don’t post, we watch older ones. He’s Bajan. You always bring back memories for him. You are also teaching me how to cook Bajan food too which he loves. So again thank you very much.

[@Tinaraine]

That is awesome! You are so welcome! Thank you guys so much for watching the videos, I truly appreciate it. Now you have to surprise him by making conkies. Conkies is a traditional dish made during the month of November, so for a lot of people its very special. Have a great evening

[@sharefun2135]

Putting the banana leaf scraps at the bottom of the steaming pot is a master stroke!! Good job. And you make them generous like me girl

[@Tinaraine]

That's how it was done back in the day to use as a steamer. I make them generous, other wise I'll have to eat at lease 2 to be satisfy. Thank you for watching.

[@rakennzylue8614]

My grandmother used milk and sweerpotates for donkey years no egg😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Tinaraine]

I think the milk gives it a smoother taste, There are so good. Thanks for watching

[@daveelcock607]

Your recipes are always welcome. Remember, variety is the spice of life. I too am Bajan and strongly relate to the comments you often make in the course of your presentations. As an older person, I find it important to point out that the making of conkies in November long predated Independence. As far as I remember, it was associated with Guy Fawkes Day. For those who may not know, Guy Fawkes was the Irish guy associated with the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 -the intention of which was to blow up the British House of Parliament. He was unsuccessful in so doing and was consequently hanged. The English celebration that thereafter followed was called Guy Fawkes Day. In Barbados, celebration of the event included mass fireworks displays throughout the island and just about every household had its supplies of conkies to which every child looked forward. It has often been said that bajans are “more English than the English” so you can understand why the event was celebrated with such gusto. In terms of cooking, many persons now resort to doing so in roasters in the oven which they find an easier method.

[@Tinaraine]

Hello Dave, Thank you so much for watching! I remember how everyone celebrated the day it was such fun, we burned tires and sang burn Mr, Harding. My grandmother always celebrated with her conkies. There's a lot of equipment today that makes life so much easier, I say why not give them a try. I appreciate you watching thank you

[@horlicks3920]

N.v

[@elleyonaspg9580]

Love watching your videos. Brings back those childhood memories. I am living in the UK. I use foil as I've never come across banana leaves.

[@Tinaraine]

Hi Jennifer, I find the banana leaves in the Spanish supermarket in the refrigerator section but that's here in Florida. When wrapping your conkies first wrap them in parchment paper then the foil. Thanks for watching.

[@EverythingPaulette]

I like that you substitute the shortening for coconut oil 👍🏽 Absolutely, I am with you with all of the above except for the egg, no eggs in mine but that is my preference.

[@Tinaraine]

Yes the coconut oil is a much healthier choice than lard. The good thing about this recipe is you can add or take away. The recipe comes out so creamy and smooth, I cannot take anything away. Thanks for watching

Good afternoon miss Tinarane... before I comment on your fabulous conkies . I'm happy to hear that my little sugar bear 🐻Camden is feeling better. I hope to see him in your Thanksgiving or Xmas video . It's always an added bonus . Now about the controversy over conkies . You must keep doing your thing , because it's all in the taste & presentation that matters. I believe the reason for the name stew dumplins is how you demonstrated the technique placing leaves in the bottom of the pot so water would not seep through hence the name " STEWDUMPLINS" . I find some of your viewers can be a bit critical . I don't think they know the definition of the word invent , because milk & eggs were around before you & I were born . My mother and grandmother all my old ancestors made conkies differently but they were delicious . I make my own with butternut or buttetcup squash which is rich in colour and tasty . All that said I will be making some for our independence. Until then ; keep sweet and as usual hugs and kisses 💋for baby Camden. Have a good day 💓

[@Tinaraine]

Hi Angela good night! Camden is doing so much better, we were worried about him for awhile, the Dr said it was an ear infection and put him on an antibiotic but he was still not feeling well for awhile. we recognize he was cutting teeth, a few teeth came bursting out, after that he's back to his old self at home and daycare. Thank you for your kind words I appreciate you for writing and your concern for Camden. I definitely will be making more videos with Camden for the holidays . Thanks so much for writing

Its like years ago you were limited to the amount of things you did with a breadfruit, you boil it or roast it, now today you make pies, flour, chips etc. Now that don't mean we've moved away from the culture, it only means we've evolved.
