#7 Plantain Chips

We thought we would start off this list with one very simple dish. It’s no secret that the Guyanese love plantains, but did you know that making chips from this banana-like vegetable is actually one of the favorite snacks of the nation?
There’s not a party that goes by where you won’t get a hefty serving of some plantain chips right next to the rum punch. Whether it’s with salsa or just plain, you can find them all over Guyana. Supermarkets and grocery stores are full of them. Sometimes, you can get them freshly-made and they’re freaking delicious.

#6 Egg Balls

And from a simple dish, we move down to one of the more complex traditional foods. It’s called an egg ball, and it’s made with, you guessed it, eggs.
You first need to hard boil some eggs. While the eggs are cooking on the stove, you need to peel and cut your cassava. You boil that as well and then you mash it. Once it’s all nicely mashed, you will add chili paste, garlic, some spices, salt to taste and of course, an egg to bind it all together.
You then peel the eggs, and cover them inside a handful of mashed cassava. The Egg and cassava ball will be rolled into some flour and deep fried. We don’t think we need to tell you how delicious these are, right?!

#5 Chicken Foot

We thought it would be kind of weird to note that they have fried-chicken as a traditional dish, but it’s true that the Guyanese love themselves some chicken. They eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner, baked, friend, boiled and in a stew… and they’ve even named a street food after it.
It has nothing to do with chicken, but the people love it so much that they decided to name this fried, doughy street food after it. It’s a dough with curry and cumin that is fried and you can get it as a snack. You better do, because it’s one of the most popular dishes in the country.

#4 Roti

This is one of the traditional flat breads of Guyana, and the special technique of cooking makes the bread absolutely to die for.
It’s made from wheat flour, water, salt and baking powder. But the thing that makes it special is the oil. They add it to the dough after the first roll, they add it after the second roll, and then they coat it a third time during cooking. That’s what makes it fluffy, moist and a must have with every stew, curry or soup.

#3 Metemgee


If you’re wondering what Metemgee is, then here’s a little insider info. It’s a stew made with coconut milk, huge chunks of plantains and cassava. That takes care of the earthy taste that is typical for Guyanese cuisine, but it’s not nearly finished.
You also need to add some salted fish into the mix, and those soft and melt in your mouth buttery dumplings that you add to the stew right before taking it off the heat. This is a dish that must be on your “have to try”-list if you ever go to Guyana.

#2 Pepperpot

This is the dish that you will see in Guyana on Christmas Morning. Almost every household prepares it and accompanies it with some home-cooked bread. The authentic flavor derives from the cassareep, which is cassava-root syrup.
It usually consists of beef, cinnamon, some onions and garlic, and of course, cassareep. You add all these ingredients to a pot, pour in some water, and cook for several hours. This will intensify the flavor, and make the meat melt in your mouth. Mh-mmm.

#1 Cassava Bread

For our last pick, we decided to include one of the staples of the country, the Cassava Bread. It’s made from, you guessed it, cassava roots, and you will find it accompanying almost every dish in Guyana. guyana food is one of the best.
