Based on what we eat, we owe our Afro Brothers and Sisters a big thank you. We are fortunate that we have we have Indo and Afro meals combined.
And also the Amerindian, British, Chinese and Portuguese influences. No wonder some one asked why Guyanese food isn't more popular in NYC.

Of course Guyanese are too low profile in NYC. How many people know that there are more Guyanese in NYC than Haitians?

I can find upscale Jamaican influenced restaurants in NYC aimed at non Caribbean people. I know a Guyanese woman who tried to do this in the 80s in the Village but her project failed as people didn't know what to expect and she lacked a liquor license.

But with the vast repertoire of cultures that she had to draw from those who did go to the restaurant didn't want to leave.
