Peanut Power Packed Porridge

published by Juliet Christie Murray on Feb 26, 2009

A few years ago the Jamaican peanut porridge took off in Jamaica like wild fire. Manufactures not to pass up the opportunity got onto the band wagon too. We now have Lasco Peanut Porridge and other brand names, but none can be compared to the porridge made from scratch by the man on the street vending his porridge in his cart. The porridge is also used by men as an Aphrodisiac.

Peanut porridge is another Jamaican recipe
