battlemaiden Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 What do you serve inside/with? I am making this to represent Guyana for my South American feast- so it should be something applicable (although I really want to make Indian Dahl- yum). What do you think?

Amira Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 If you want it to be Guyanese, then I'd make a Guyana-style curry or dal to go with the roti. There are lots of recipes on the internet. Or you could do dal puri and have the roti and dal all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure I could make dal "Guyana style" but that helps to know. Thanks Amira. Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spy Car Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 We've got beautiful Cricket-grounds near-by, and one of the teams is comprised heavily of Guyanese players, and when their team provides "Tea" that is a feast not to be missed. Mmmm. What a delicious cuisine! Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Bill, it's not manners to make enough mention of food to have us salivating and not provide enough information for us to be able to taste it. Is there a finger wagging smilie? :) Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spy Car Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) Bill, it's not manners to make enough mention of food to have us salivating and not provide enough information for us to be able to taste it. Is there a finger wagging smilie? :) Rosie Ah Rosie, it's one of the little know secrets of living in Los Angeles that some of the best food in this city can be found out at the Cricket-ground "teas". Actually, this is a gross under-statement, as most Angelenos are likely unaware that Cricket is even played in this city, and that we have beautiful felids and active leagues. Almost all the players are non-natives, but represent nations from around the world. And the mid-game lunch breaks, "teas" (to explain to out non-Australian readers) are put on by the "home-team" and are, I think, more fiercely competitive than the cricket matches themselves. There is fierce national pride. And the "can you top this?" attitude, results in some good eating. Naturally, I've become a Cricket aficionado :D I'm about the only "average white-man" out there, but I've been embraced as an "exotic" American Cricket lover :tongue_smilie: Anyway, the Guyanese food is delicious! Curries are abundant, and show the debt of the large Indian population. But the curries have their own unique flavorings, that meld Caribbean, Indian, African ,and English influences. Pepperpot is a common curry, but there are so many. Mmmm. You must take care however as Guyanese do favor their rum, and socializing with them can lead to intoxication ;) Bill Edited April 1, 2009 by Spy Car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiguirre Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Hey Spy Car, if you haven't already heard of it, you might like Netherland by Joseph O'Neill. It's about a Dutch cricket player on a mainly Trinidadian team in post 9/11 New York. I'm half way through and I've learned a bit about cricket, or at least I'm no longer completely clueless.
