Jamaican Cornmeal Porridge with Coconut Milk

This is by far the most popular Jamaican Breakfast Porridge. It is sold on the street between 5-9am to passing commuters. There is even a popular Bob Marley song that mentions the cornmeal porridge.

 I use cinnamon sugar or the condensed milk to decorate the top.
