What is the national dish of Guyana?

Answer 1

Pepper Pot, the national dish of Guyana, is an Amerindian meat stew which uses cassareep. Cassareep is a preservative made from grated cassava and flavored with cinnamon and brown sugar. The Amerindians developed cassareep as a way of preserving meats in the days before refrigeration. Do not refrigerate leftovers. This dish develops flavor when left over a period of days. If not refrigerated, it MUST be reheated to a boil every day. In the early days, a pepper pot was always in the kitchen, and more meat was added to it each day, keeping the pot going for years. This recipe has been halved from the original.

Answer 3

Pepperpot is Guyana's national dish.

Pepperpot is a stewed meat dish, strongly flavored with cinnamon, hot peppers, and Cassareep, a special sauce made from the Cassava root. Beef, pork, and mutton are the most popular meats used, though some have been known to use chicken. Pepperpot is popularly served with a dense Guyanese style home made or home style bread (similar to Jamaican Hard Dough), though like most food it can be eaten however one chooses, be it rice or roti, though roti is not the popular norm.

This dish is usually reserved for special occasions because it is very time consuming, and mostly eaten during Christmas Day (like turkey in North America) or during the Christmas holiday season. Like the original Amerindian version, it is usually made in a large pot and can be reheated and eaten over several days because the Cassareep starts preserving the meat. Versions of the dish are also served in several other countries in the Caribbean, including Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada and St. Vincent.
