It is also known as "Chaquehue"...It is a combination of Blue Corn Flour, Cold Water, Boiling Water, Salt, Lard or Margarine, and Baking Soda. It is used on holidays, and even as a hot cereal for breakfast. You can also sweeten and thin it by adding milk and sugar, if you prefer it for Breakfast. If not, it is like the texture/flavor of tamales.

What does it mean chaquewe?
"Chaquewe" does not appear to be a recognized term in English or any widely-known language. It may be a misspelling or a colloquial expression. If you meant "chaque" from French, it translates to "each" or "every." Please provide additional context for a more accurate interpretation.
Is the word chaquewe a native American food word?
The word chaquewe is actually spelled chaquehue, but its sounds like chaquewe. My grandmother was pueblo Indian from New Mexico (Tewa) and when I was very little she would make this special porridge called chaquehue. The base is blue corn meal made with blue corn meal, water, salt, lard and baking soda. In another pot you have whole milk cooking (for about an hour), adding salt and butter. Once the porridge was cooked you put it in a bowl and you add the cooked milk over it (like cream of wheat). We use to tear up home made flour tortillas in small pieces and put it in the porridge, Yummm. This is so good and filling. I grew up on this meal, my grown daughter and I had some just this morning. This reminds me of my granny, it is one of my favorite comfort foods.
