BREAKFAST
In a country like Guyana breakfast is way beyond toast, bacon, eggs, ham and pancakes. A variety of roti (Indian-styled flatbreads) can be had with a plethora of sautéed vegetables. Bakes (small fried breads) with local salt fish and other locally produced types of preserved fish are a national favourite.

A plate full of seasonal fruits such as paw-paw (papaya), pineapple, star-apple, sapodilla and mangoes is always close at hand. 

Porridge is another breakfast staple – cornmeal, oats, sago, barley – spiced with real cinnamon and sweetened with our world renowned Demerara sugar and creamy milk is a breakfast of champions. Hot beverages served with breakfast – tea (green and black), coffee and herbal teas such a lemongrass and bay leaf.

A mid-morning snack of cassava ball, egg-ball, phulourie, channa or potato ball with lashings of sour or hot pepper sauce, chased down with a local fruit juice or ice-cold glass of mauby keeps you filled and sustained until lunch.
