Cookoo from Barbados

Ingredients:
cornmeal, degermed, unenriched, yellow
okra, raw
water, bottled, generic
salt, table

Directions:
Boil okra in 2 pints water for 45 minutes.
Remove from heat and pour entire contents into a bowl.
Put cornmeal, 1 pint cold water and salt into a saucepan and cook over low heat for 25 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
Drain water from okra at five-minute intervals, adding it to the meal.
At the same time, gradually add some of the meal to the okra.
This process should continue for 30-45 minutes, depending on the consistency desired.
The longer cooking period will produce a thicker CooKoo.
