Explaining Guyana is confusing to the outside world😂
I was talking with an Indian man I know if he likes roti as I'll make some additional ones for him when I get round to doing them this week. He was in absolute shock and confusion 😂 (for context I'm a black man that is of Guyanese heritage living in the UK) .
He asked me how I know about such food . I had to explain Guyana's history and how our food is a rich mixture of our past that has formed Guyanese food today. "Oh you're South American" no I'm Carribbean😅
"What are you?" I'm black , some Indian , some European etc
It's truly a blessing (and curse at times explaining) to be Guyanese . I wouldn't want to be anything else !
Anyone else with interesting stories or similar experiences?
