- čas přidán 2. 06. 2024
- Back in July of 2022, I explored my 90th country, Guyana, beginning in the capital city, Georgetown. Come with me on my very first day in the country as I get my first taste of Guyanese food and explore the capital!
For this trip, I teamed up with Visit Guyana and Discovery Guyana. Our first adventure together was exploring the Bourda Market, followed by a trip to the famous Backyard Café. Inside the Guyana Shop, I saw items made by local women, including achar, cassareep, crafts, pepper sauces, and more.

I am a guyanese
Welcome to Guyana my home, my country, my beautiful Guyana and land of many waters🇬🇾🐆❤️🖤💚💛🤍
Guyana is definitely one of the places I've got to visit, that eggboll looks so good, the pepperpot and okro dish opened my appetite. I'm gonna have to find this place when I go to Guyana
Ok Anthony Bourdain
Thanks for doing the Guyana series. It is outstanding. You need to go back to try more of our foods. Souse, garlic pork, tennis rolls etc. Awesome. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
One reason for Guyana being an extraordinary country is that every ethnic group has a great dish for their representation 🇬🇾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So so true....we are a very unique country....proud Guyanese ❤
Totally agree with you
I learned so much about the Indigenous foods. So awesome. David needs to try real Guyanese chinese fried rice and real Guyanese chownein. Also boiled Channa, and on and on. So very proud of our country. Now my Canadian spouse wants to visit asap.
Nah guyana is a shit country tbh
@@biggyman987 Never curse the bridges you cross on. Shit country for only you. Because you cannot see the chaff from the chaff from the corn.. you are blinded brother.
As a Venezuelan watching this, I'm impressed with the Guyanese cuisine and culture.
A lot of Venezuelans 🇻🇪 in Guyana 🇬🇾
Part of the Commonwealth 🇬🇧
I'm from Guyana and this makes me feel so proud.
Great food. 🇨🇦
Fr I always love when people talk about guyana and taste their food since it isn't a very high or popular country
Ik im so proud
Me Too❤🇬🇾
I’m From Guyana 🇬🇾 Too And I’m a kid And My Name Is Kyla❤🇬🇾
I am commenting from Sierra Leone, West Africa. I really enjoy the lifestyle of Guyana, the people are so ... oh my God... I feel connected to Guyana despite a south American country but I like it. The cassava bread, is similar to ours here in Sierra Leone except that our own is very soft and is usually eaten with gravy and fried fish. The giant worm, we don't usually eat it raw, we fry it with it's oil; I mean we wash it and put it in a hot pot and then, there we go. I wish to have a Guyanese friend. There're really many things that we share in common.
you have a Guyanese friend now
Oh, thank you very much. I'm glad to hear you. Are you on twitter, telegram, or WhatsApp? If yes on all of these or maybe any of these please let me know so that we can have more time to chat and know each other better.
Much love from SIERRA LEONE 🇸🇱🇸🇱 for GUYANA
@@samuelaquilaothnielmansara5114 here. You have another 🇬🇾 friend.
@@healthyandrew5294 ok, thank you dear. Are you on telegram or twitter? Let's have more space to chat please, or if on WhatsApp, let me know please.
Here 1 yr later, hey 👋
Guyana is my birth home. I love my culture, my people, and the food-love visiting every year. I know you had a great time and the best service United We Stand 🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾
Heyyy, #davidsbeenhere, that's how I discovered your page. Thank you for sharing. ❤️❤️❤️
Devi Jones😥
I am proud of Guyanese Diversed culture .They learnt from each others and cook dishes from all ethnic groups. The guy was quick to say Pepperpot is a national dish but it' s only one of our national dishes. We have cultural national dishes such as DHAL, ROTIE, CURRIES , CHOWMEIN, FRIED RICE, STEWS, METAMGEE, COOKUP RICE AND THE LIST GOES ON. I would like the world to know we have more than one national dishes.Thank you very much.
In Trinidad the national dish is "crab and callaloo" but all the dishes you put in capital letters are also served! A national dish is something that is unique to the nation. It does not mean that other dishes are ignored. For example, in Trinidad so called doubles in one of the most popular street food, and even though crab and callaloo is the national dish people cook other things a lot more.
@@jabaltariq4606 Thank you for your thoughts. We recognised National dishes by different ethnic groups. 😊
@@ameeliaramotar8450 No we dont. Stop you stupid stubbornness.
Its like what the person said.
I dont agree with any national dish idea, I think its dumb ...but its been many decades now where they have been saying its pepperpot.
A national dish is a dish, that disked like or cooked by a large cross section of people but which is also unique.
Dahl is national dish? Use common sense.
We also make a crab soup with okros ...its that also a national dish of Guyana. No because its mostly made by creole and black people in Berbice or Indians that live around them, and its not made by anyone else regardless of race.
National dish is different from cultural dishes. All of that is part of the culture but just like the flag and the coat of arms one stands out as our representation. I personally love that pepper pot is it because it definitely encompasses us as a people
To all the people who have been waiting for the Guyana series, REJOICE. Your patience had finally paid off. You all can relax and enjoy now. Nice start. I am seeing a lot of things that are common to the Caribbean and foods that are similar but called by a different name e.g. metemgee: oil down in Trinidad, mango sauce similar to mango chutney, and a lot of fruits and vegetables that can be commonly found in the region as well. Everything is FRESH: from garden or market to pot and straight to stomach 😄😄😄. So now we will all see the expanded versions of all those 'shorts' teasers David put on. The only problem I had was Delvin comparing limacol to Robitussin because he should have warned people NOT to DRINK it. We used to mix the limacol with coconut oil and rub our heads when we have a headache or fever. Very good remedy. Just waiting now to see what else is in store. Sorry guys but I tend to be analytical at times but that's just me. Good job 🙏🕊️✌️🇹🇹🇨🇦
As a trini, I was waiting to see this, love my caribbean food
@@pdub69triniboy hey Peter. We are communicating again on this one. Remember you know who in the Trinidad series? Lol. So far I like what I see, especially David starting off in the market to see some of the food and drink that he would be having in Guyana 🇹🇹🇨🇦
@@JudyT868 the market is so big, I'm still piss they never took David to the market went he was here
@@pdub69triniboy I know. Me too. I keep commenting in other videos that David should have been taken to the market first instead of that spa. He should have gone to visit the Pitch Lake that had so much history behind it. Did you know that the asphalt was used on the road to Buckingham Palace and the Lincoln Tunnel? I am still angry. But you know it's over and done with, so we move on. Let's enjoy this Guyana series.🇹🇹🇨🇦
You are the best ❤❤❤
The Caribbean and if's people are the best. Much love to Guyana 🇧🇧
Guyana for life 🇬🇾
I'm sorry to inform you but us Guyanese are not apart of the Caribbean we are South Americans
@@thebronx-kr9ns
Yes, we are South Americans by geographic location. We are included as part of the British West Indies. Culturally, we share the same ways of life.
I love guyanese food. My late husband was from Guyana. Very nice people and the food is amazing 💖
I'm guyanese and you made me miss my home...we've got variations of all these dishes here in NYC BUT I KNOW that the taste there with all the fresh (from the earth, from the sea, from the gardens) flavors are out of this world. Nothing you've used has been processed or refrigerated. You can't beat that kind of living. I'm jealous now lol
No one is stopping you for heading back to Guyana
@thebronx-kr9ns No shyt Sherlock... thanks for sharing.
I am from Barbados and I love Guyanese people and the food is the best in the world.
And as a Guyanese, we love the Bajan people as well, I have visited your country many times, and I love it
Last time I visited Guyana was 1971. I am familiar with many of the fruits and the foods. Pepperpot also tastes good with pigfoot(...aka pig trotters) and pickled pigtail. I am glad you finally reached Guyana. I watched all your Trinidad and Tobago videos. During the dark years, there were severe food shortages in Guyana. It is reassuring to see the abundance of food products now, and the people thriving.
That's long😯
@@timeka2055 Time flies in the blink of an eye. Back then, I never gave a thought to the 21st century. 🤔
i will definitely visit Guyana and the Backyard cafe...!!!! Inshalllah
This place is 🤤
After months of waiting, we finally get to see your visit to Guyana! 🇬🇾 Started to think it'd never come 😂
Finally beautiful Guyana 🇬🇾 🇬🇾. Enjoy your time there, the people and food are like none other ❤️
I left Guyana as a child 30 years ago. I don't always get to eat the delicious food, and I do miss it terribly. I try to cook a few things once in a while, but I do miss authentic Guyanese food.
My parents left Guyana in 1986 when I was 10 years old I'm 47 years old today and I don't miss a goddamn thing cuz I live in New York City we get every product there is a Guyana
Watching this video bring tears to my eyes.
How I miss my country 😢.
EVERYTHING LOOKED INCREDIBLE!!!!!THE BACKYARD CAFE WAS THE STAR!!!!!!💥💥I WAS DYING WATCHING YOU EAT THE FRIED EGG BALLS OMG I WANT TO TRY THEM SOOOO BADLY,AND THE PEPPER POT!!!!,WOW JUST A STUNNER OF A MEAL!!!!!FANTASTIC VIDEO &EVERYONE WAS SO HAPPY AND HAD ALOT OF INFORMATION!!!!!,VERY INFORMATIVE!!!!LOVED THE VIDEO !!!!!JUST AWESOME 👍💕❤😜💥💥🥰🤩🌞💙😘😍✌💋
You have no idea! Such a great country ❤
Big up to the chef/hosts you made me so proud you are a true son of the nation lots of respect from 🇬🇧
Guyana and Ghana has so much in common lol their market, their food ,accent etc
our ancestors came from ghana 🇬🇭
@@adrianbristol4392 No! Black Guyanese ancestors came mainly from Sierra Leone and Nigeria... as did much of the Blacks in the Americas.
No, on the accent. I have Ghanaian friends... their accents are markedly different! The Black chef seemed to have spent some time in America... his accent is not fully Guyanese.
@@marklucas1898 maybe your Ghanaians friends don't stay in Ghana, the accent is literally the same
@@marklucas1898 maybe your Ghanaians friends don't stay in Ghana, the accent is literally the same
Amazing everything is locally made and produce in Guyana. Fresh from the market.
What a fabulous market oh wow! Such a wonderful experience for you in Gyana and the people are so welcoming and friendly.
❤❤❤❤ they were awesome! These videos will blow your mind 😊
I love markets..and that market looks just like ours here in Trinidad...so much seafood! The produce is almost the same like ours but known by different names at times though. The food at the backyard cafe looked delicious👌👌
We Caribbean people have some of the best dishes and food products. Fresh and natural.
Dough pronounced duff!! I love it!! You looked like you were in Guyanese food heaven at the Backyard Cafe!!

Oh my goodness, the goodness of Guyanese foods!! I love my Guyana.
Guyanese food is the best Caribbean food with the most options!!! I love it! I wish there were more places here in America. ❤❤❤
*South America yuh tun tun hole
@@BilnaMan Lmaooo 😂😂😂 so I just realized you were insulting me.
Ma’am/Sir whatever you are. I’m very aware of where Guyana is. My husband was born and raised partially there. My mother-in-law and father-in-law full on Guyanese!
I simply stated my preference for Guyanese food and wished for it to be more readily available in the states much like we have plenty Jamaican spots to choose from.
Please try to be less negative in your life. ❤️
Panda cooling. You late with that comment about South America. We know where Guyana is geographically. However it is culturally Caribbean and always was. People like you just come off rude and nasty for no reason. I'm not guyanese and I agree with her. Guyanese food is very diverse with lots of options and it's tasty too.
second that
@@shannonj.5256 Depends on where you are in the States. New York, Florida has lots of Guyanese stores, both restaurants and groceries.
David you a very good guy, you left people spirits up. Be always bless any were you travel okay.
Wow, I must go to Guyana now just to get that food.
Love ❤️ this video bring back so much memories ❤️ my home and beautiful country thank you brother.
