black bitch

A dessert? Not a cuss word?

Guyana and T&T have a host of Indian "desserts" to add, including: channa, pulowri, baiganjee, mittai, badam acha, pera, ghulam acha, chicken foot, etc.

"Sugar cakes" could be red, brown or white. Cassava pone is one of my favorites. Guava jelly could be really nice.

Guyana also has tamarind balls, fudge (white and brown), "ice block", flootie, etc.

Would a caribbean fruit salad work or would that be too much potassium.

Bim gets the sahara dust, closest thing to a desert.

Due to hurricanes etc. We don't have any deserts to speak off. Oddly enough, Guyana has plenty cactus. Caribbean women who have sampled Guyanese cactus juice can confirm.

Apart from eating guava, which you dont want to eat too many, the jam is the only other product, I have had
There is an industry out there guys.
