Guyana Food & Dining
The
food in Guyanese society reflects the range of
influences from different part of the world.
From India
came curries - i.e. mutton,
prawn and chicken - and from Africa you find dishes such as
foo-foo where plantains made into cakes and metamgee
where dumplings made from corn flour, eddews, yams, cassava and
plantains cooked in coconut milk and grated coconut.
And the specialties
of Portuguese garlic pork
and Amerindian pepper pot.
On the menus
of most hotels and restaurants in Guyana
you will often find chicken, pork and steak and, most of the time,
shrimp. And also the best Chinese food
in Guyana can be found in the capital Georgetown. Local rum, Demerara
Rum, is well worth trying, while the local beer is must.
