Only In Guyana folks. ... I must say this type of banter is what I missed most during my recent absence. A few minutes ago I stopped to buy some cucumbers. Me: " I would like some young ones because I am making sandwiches." Vendor: " All young!" Woman standing nearby: "ALL YOUNG?" Vendor: " Ah seh all young. I is a young woman and I does only sell young ting." The bystander: "YOU YOUNG??" Lol ..Well, as Tante Merle would say, "Who tell she say dat."
Vendor: " How yuh mean if I young? I ain't gone upstairs yet. I could still mek chirren." Well, I am now laughing. Bystander: " Well, I gone upstairs lang time." (Menopause) I am now cracking up, and so we're they when I said, "Well, I gone upstairs so long that I ready to come back down." I love my people.

You guys educate me daily
What’s a vegetable cook up?
I know what you’re trying to say when you type duck curry
In reply to StumpCam
Get off the road and head for the back dam and see how some of the villagers live and what they can afford to eat ..
I understand it’s not your problem but the Presi should be paying more attention to that ..
Sad is what goes on in Guyana but I suppose in all countries ..
Trip can’t complete without a 7 curry

My mum had a wicked kitchen garden surrounded by fruit trees and dwarf coconut trees. .
In reply to Halliwell
Guyanese Cook up main ingredients are typically rice, black eye peas, coconut milk and any type of meat depending on your preference all in one pot. However, some varieties are made without meat and may include ocra, spinach etc.
Capeesh!

Back in the late 60's and 70's my mother used to win almost annually the first prize for large Flower Garden and my father first prize for large Kitchen Garden in the annual competition held by the Georgetown Gardener's Club.

My better half is a very hard task master…
Mudland is the only place (outside of Yard) that was up to her standard when it comes to the cuisine because she was treated very well during the the times we spent there….
