   mixture is smooth and thick. Turn out onto a plate and
   spread the butter on top.  Serve hot. Yield: 6 servings
   Notes from cookbook:  Cou-cou means side dish, and
   although it is chiefly served as an accompaniment to
   fish-especially flying fish in Barbados-it can be
   served with other fish or meat dishes.
