- Опубликовано: 4 сен 2024
- Tum-Tum is a dish with African roots and it is closely related to Fufu. It derives its name from the "tum tum" sound made by the mortar and pestle during the cooking process.
Tum Tum can be prepared as a vegan/vegetarian dish or made incorporating meats as well.
Ms Eintou Pearl Springer and her daughter Attillah Springer demonstrate how to make tum-tum.

This episode was soooo rich with honour, wisdom, culture and love. Ms Eintou is a national treasure. Thank you to my BAHS sister for sharing her mother with us. Ase 🙏🏾❤
Ms. Eintou brings the Truth to something we often take for granted: food. Our connection to Earth is critical and she clearly expresses that connection, invoking Ancestors and showing gratitude. I cannot express how grateful I am to have somehow seen this episode and found myself sitting at the feet of such a person. Thank you, Ms. Eintou. You are a blessing beyond measure.
Ms Eintou is life.!!!!! i would love to hear her speak more. Thank you for sharing her. In Hinduism we call the earth Darthi Mata and honor her in the same way...
This was more than a recipe! This is a psalm God bless her!
It's so nice to hear tradition from back home it's wonderful I'm from Trinidad myself I'm an Indian Trinidadian and it's nice to hear from our neighbors I will cut your culture which never hurt too much when I was back home but it's so wonderful and it's so blessed to know and heard the way you sit very nice God bless you
..loved this especially with french créole she speaks at 7:00 mark 'donne moi' and 'ça bon', this is a real living history of Trinidad
@Adron Goddard What is she saying at 12:07 ?
@@AV-nf8xd she is either saying 'donne mwen' which is 'give it to me', or she said 'bwoi mwen' which litrally translated means 'wood me', but I think she is saying 'give me the wood'. The 'wood' in this instance being the mortar and pesel.
This episode was life, life of the Caribbean, life if this channel, just a nice sweet breath of fresh air, Ms Eintou yes and her co-host as well lol.
Tell Tanty talk she educating us the young generation will love to hear and learn more about mother earth plants from tanty
It is refreshing that we show cultural retention of our African heritage, and learn from Elders like Ms. Eintou. Badawi and his chef/ hosts are doing a great job. I love the spontaneous chats on food security, politics, love etc...
Auntie is quite eloquent in her speech, I could listen to her talk anytime. Quality content as usual. Keep up the spectacular work EAF!
Thanks Kenson! Appreciate it
She went to the same high school that I went to and she did not use dialect then. She is now talking like a Trini.
Loved this episode! I remember my mother making a version of this as a child. Ms Eintou is truly a treasure!
Eatah food, this is a genuine Pearl of a video. Thank you millions!!
Aboru Aboye Abosise Iya Eintou! Continue to bless us with your presence here on Eatahfood 🙏🏾 We Thank You Adupe O!!!!
Love the authenticity of this video...calalloo and stew fish to go with the tum-tum.😋👍
I thoroughly enjoyed this and was moved by all that was shared by the guests. One of the best videos I’ve seen here.
Hands down the best episode ever! I remember making pong plantain with my granny.....this brings back real memories ❤
I truly appreciate and enjoy when the elderly grace us with their present on eatahfood 👏🏽🙏🏾❤️
Thank you Baidawi.
Variety is the spice of life and are helping to flavour all areas of our taste buds.
Thanks to Ms Enitou for Tum Tum tutoring. 🙏
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this episode. When I saw the word "Mofongo" I rushed to watch this (because that is one of my favorite foods) but this is unlike Mofongo because the green plantains have to be fried before mashing, this would be similar to what is called "Mangu" (boiled and mashed green plantain).
...but this looks like a more delicious and hearty version of that, and I enjoyed Ms. Eintou's words. She was dropping a lot of gems low-key, and showing us how native foods not only nourishes but keeps us connected to our ancestors, in which I appreciate my own family for showing me as well. Food as Revolution!! 😁
Mofongo doesn't have to be fried. Fried mofongo is just the most popular. The plantains can be boiled or roasted. What makes mofongo is that it's much more dense then all the fufús and has to have pork and some kind of fat. Slaves in Puerto Rico where given a diet or mainly plantains and pork scraps (mostly dry pork) they mixed this with the traditional fufu recipe that came from Africa.
@@jaredrios9575 truth. The enslaved Africans used the foods available to them. Mofongo, Tum Tum, Fufu, pong plantain are all closely related thanks to the creativity of our African forebearers.
What interesting guests! I like the variation! Hope you are able to rope others in to share their family's culinary secrets.
This is such a powerful video. Thank you for sharing not just the recipe but the invaluable knowledge and traditions. Ms Eintou is a gem, a queen and an amazing light. Blessings to her and the eatahfood team!
Oh, miss springer , so lovely to see you, miss springer you may not remember me, but I was one of your staff in the library in 2003, we was moving into the new library on st. Vincent Street, and we also set up the heritage section, you are , and always a beautiful human being, ❤️ 💙 ♥️ 😊
I wanna love this video more than once. Thoroughly enjoyed it. ❤️
What a lovely person the wisdom and culture of recipe and her love of life gave me such joy of life . Blessings..
tum tum looking yum yum
Thank you Ms Eintou! In just one generation ancestral knowledge can be lost. When I've asked my mother and late grandmother about their life pre- 1970's I' ve realized that my generation has lost a lot of knowledge about traditional practices concerning food and plant medicine.
Ms. Eintou 's hands are sooooo beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes my mother used to heff it I learn to heff she use to say heh heff that that is not a pound I love this lady she is all of us Trini grand mothers this is part of our heritage it
I love this roots
Thank you Soo very much for this video. Nice to see Queen mother and her ever wonderful daughter. I call our traditional foods "the real food"💕💕💕💕. Peace And Love.
Beautiful! Please bring Ms. Eintou back, Baidawi!
Enjoyed this video. Glad to see Ms. Eintou and her daughter sharing and educating us on some of the recipes that we have enjoyed all these years. Would like to see more videos like this please and thanks.
Love love love Ms Eintou❤
Came for food, left with knowledge thank you Ms Eintou.
Same!
Love seeing Ms. Eintou again, love the cooking class in our food. Please do more Afro/Caribbean food. However, it is God Almighty, God of the Bible we have to give all praises, for making the earth and the food we eat, and giving us rain and sun in due season. More important than that, it is the God who created the earth, looked down from heaven and saw that we needed a savior in the Jesus Christ, because try as we may, we cannot absolve our own sin, being sinful by our very nature in all we do and think. We need Jesus Christ.
Thoroughly enjoyed this session. My daughter had asked to make this and now I can try with confidence. Thank you❤
Good recipe. I don't use so much seasoning in mine though. I like to make maafe (an African peanut stew) to go over mine which has it's own distinct flavour. So I get the sweetness of the plantain and the hot spiciness of the maafe which also has vegetables in it. Delish!
Sounds delicious! Have to look up maafe and try it. Thanks for sharing
Mom say “Issa ole ppl” 😅
Yesssss!!!!!! This video!!!! The perpetuation of our food is an act of resistance!!!!!!!!!!! AYE!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for creating this , you all have taught me something I didn’t know existed as a Trini. The culture will endure, such a beautiful thing
Beautiful wisdom. I remember my mum making pong plantain. So so many years ago having this dish.
Miss Lady watching you and your grandmother make me feel like when I was a girl growing up really it look like that time of time in life that we was growing up and we wasn't we was all like one kind of people you really make me feel like that today I am not living in Trinidad anymore but you surely make me feel like I want to come back home they can't and it's so nice just listening and watching your recipe again God bless you take care and bye for now
Bahamas is in the house I am watching this plantain menu.

Thank you Miss Intue i realy enjoy this lesson on pong plainting

🎊🎈🎆Happy New Year Greetings🎇🎈🎊
I'm a Trini Red Woman🤪 Living in Denmark
for ages . The last time I ate Tum-Tum or Pong Plantain😋 was probably way back in the 80's . I was still a child, or very young girl in my early teens !
My memory, of eating Pong Plantain back in the glory days is very blurry, dim .
When next I come to Trinidad, I will ask my mother to make me some Tum-Tum. I will buy all the plantain, all the seasonings, healthy ingredients, all the Ochro and dasheen bush; and she can cook Tum-Tum and Callallo, and I want some Stew or Steam Fish 🐟🐋🐡👍💯💥 🤣.
Tum-Tum, good old memories for me.
Pong Plantain 😋 Callallo 😋 Steam Fish 🐋.
Couchella, and plenty juicy, tasty pepper sauce🤤🌶️🌶️🌶️😋
Thank you
eatahfood🍜🍲
Great Content 👍
Grandma Eintou brought back childhood memory eating Tum-Tum😂🤩
God bless these 2 lovely ladies. Was fun to watch, and listen.
Nice lady Ms Eintou💜🖤🤎.
I heard she said : ban mwen like she's talking Haitian Creole.
Thanks for the recipe.We make tum tum with breadfruit and meat seafood and okra.
Thank you for this recipe. Really luv Ms. Eintou energy
Miss Eintou is a joy!!
Thanks for sharing this was very informative and helpful. The words of wisdom, I will love to see her again ❤️ .
Ms Rintoul is a legend and so intelligent. Agree we should use food as a means of cultural resistance. Best wishes to Ms Rintou!
Such wisdom, brings back memories of cooking with my mom.
This was educational and very beneficial and beautiful. Thanks for the recipe. Thanks for sharing and continued blessings 🙌 🙏. I looked up B.G plaintain and it was sung by the Mighty Sparrow.

Well said Aunty
This is Soul Food 💛 Can't wait to try it out. I really enjoyed this beautiful video.
The song BG Plantain was sung by thr Mighty Sparrow.
Good food to feed our warriors! The revolution continues.
That is so very true you don't hear those things anymore from the older heads and the younger heads just look at it and laughed and make it look like it's just funny because they don't know their history about their own lives which is very important we live abroad and when people ask us about our background history we don't know how to answer it so you is 100% right we should learn whatever what culture we came our background came from we should learn that and thank you I like the way you you said it it was quite right God bless you and merry Christmas happy holidays to everyone and happy New Year take care New York New York
#GoodTing!!!!!! Authentic food!!
This is something I've always wanted to learn to make!
I haven't had that in many years looks delicious
Everything with plantains are nice 👌
Thanks for sharing...love plantain n will be trying this
My grandad’s nickname for me was Tum-tum.
factsss thank you mother earth for our sustinance and wisdom and giving us life thanks millaee
Lovely 🌹 God bless you all
Please post the recipe on the website 🙏 Thank you! 😃 It's my first time learning about this dish.
I have a friend who used to make this.
Too much KFC today. I feel sad that young people don't want to associate with older people to learn everything that we know. Everything is dying with the older generation. Even your family history. An older person might know some of the history of your family as far back as three generations before.
Wonderful traditional food.
Thank you so much I learn n got knowledge. Keep up the great wk
Ase o, Ìyá! A dupe o! I love it! Sometimes, I fry and bake them. Yam yam!
Remind me on my mama ❤
Grow up eating tum tum.bless u mum.
My faves
For real ❤
'I cooking ' no other chefs needed 😆🤣
I enjoyed this so much, thanks 😊
One of my favorite foods and a beautiful Queen. I am sorry this wasn't 1 of the things and ppl that Mark Wiens was introduce to. So much culture he didn't see or was introduce to
This looks amazing!
Kisembe would of been so proud! Blessings
Thank you for the recipe - I learned something new 🤎
Lovely

One Love
I love her.
While I am not acquainted with the words "Tum-tum" or "Mofango" I was brought up eating Pong Plantain prepaired using morter and pestle and is the only way that I will eat plantains to this day where I make it myself.
Amazing !!!!
Love mama from Guyana.
Great video! ❤❤
💯
Thank you for sharing. How can I interview Mrs Eintou please?
Mofongo is not a Spanish dish just asking ??, l was in Long Island and they had it selling and the make it with pork rimes , l did enjoy looking at you guys bless !!
According to another person in the comments, it began with African slaves in Puerto Rico making their traditional tum tum and incorporating pork coz plantains and pork scraps was the diet slaves were given in Puerto Rico.
It is from enslaved Africans people in Latin America .it's not a Spanish dish
