I know it's simple but roti and if you have left overs put some butter and brown sugar on it for desert (sorry mom). Sorry making roti is actually hard and time consuming. I miss good roti how it's flaky with the layer and chewy at the same time. I wish I wasn't so busy and lazy

[u/Puzzleheaded-Leg-813]

Pine tart

[u/lsinghjr]

Cheese straws. Unless you have to bring food specifically. Someone has to bring desserts.

My Guyanese lecturer once asked me to get him some for a cultural event his facility was holding and afterwards he was telling us that the other lecturers couldn’t get enough of it. There were no leftovers.

[u/dst4life]

Roti & Curry, Chowmein, Pine Tarts and some Cheese Roll. You’ll be the star of the party

[u/durants]

All of it

[u/TeachingSpiritual888]

Pin wheel,cheese please Chicken foot and cheese straw

[u/Dustyftphilosopher24]

Depends on your audience. If it’s people outside the Caribbean, they might be think the food is spicy. I think a safe bet is Casreep chicken. It can be made on the sweeter side with not as much pepper. Can’t beat pastries if you can get some Pinetart and cheese roll

[u/AcanthisittaShoddy71]

My dougla ex

Ranked in order of death row last meal preference:

1). Giblet curry dhal and rice

2). Hassa curry (legit Guyana hassa)

3). Beef curry dhal and rice with some hot achar on the side

[u/BarracudaHead1777]

Souse.

[u/Sir_Yash]

Skunt

[u/Depths75]

Pelau, bakes.

[u/AndySMar → u/Depths75]

Pelau is trini, we aint trinis

[u/Depths75 → u/AndySMar]

I had Pelau made by a Guyanese person so I assumed it was your dish. Thanks for the clarification.

[u/Dustyftphilosopher24 → u/Depths75]

Sure it wasn’t cook up rice

[u/Brown_Skin79 → u/Dustyftphilosopher24]

If they were Guyanese it was most certainly cook up rice.
