In reply to pelon

Seems like a loaded question. We all got our style thru colonization.

I do think Barbados would be last by a country mile. The price you pay for being colonized by just the English

In reply to cricketmygame

I think all Islands have variations of those:

cassava bread is native Indian.

In reply to nick2020


Your problem is that someone mussah put sumtin' in yuh cou-cou.

In reply to Drapsey

they have that in other places,Yamfoot had a post way back about a dish called "boil down".

Bammy is from the Arawak Indians so every one has some variation of it.

In reply to black

Guyanese pepperpot - food of the indigenous folks -preserving meat with a cassava extract.

In reply to Chrissy

How do you like your pepperpot? My mom used to make hers with the right balance between the sweet and salt taste. Some people like theirs totally sweet.

In reply to Drapsey

Ah boss dat yuh nuh! Especially if yuh mix it with salt mackerel. My parisheen JayMor would say a loud amen to dat.

In reply to Toney

Another of your parisheenas here.

In reply to Toney

with some good yellow yam and dumpling!

In reply to problemjay

don't believe the hype!

Guyana had barrah and channa but they never thought of combining the two, so props to T&T for doing that and adding the wonderful sauces

In reply to Curtis

A slice of bread is different from a sandwich that includes bread, so one barrah could never be a doubles.

In reply to che

Fish cake

Souse

Conkies

Black cake

Pepperpot

Bakes

Cassava pones

Guava cheese

All of those are popular in Guyana. I have a feeling that some of them have origins in Guyana.

Come een Chrissy. Are these dishes and Desserts Bajan or Guyanese? I grew up eating everyone of the items listed above.

In reply to black

Love Conkie, but I believe that has its origin from the Native Indians throughout the Caribbean!

Metagee
Kolounjie
Bigan Choker
Pepper pot
Cook-Up
Fried Breadfruit
Fish Cake with dhall & rice
Bake & Salt Fish
Guyanese Fried Rice....simply the best!

In reply to black

That is all that is needed to win the food wars, bredz.

In reply to StumpCam

Native Guyanese Indians? We'll take it.

In reply to JahJah

Is it that good?
