Is the word chaquewe a native American food word?

Answer 1

The word "chaquewe" does not appear to be a recognized term in any Native American language or cuisine that I am aware of. It is possible that it could be a term from a specific tribe or region that is not widely known. Without more context or information, it is difficult to definitively determine if "chaquewe" is a Native American food word.

Answer 2

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.
