Just ask Mr. Mohammed Al Fayed. He will explain it to you in detail.

marlon. Let me help you here. Very few people like teh smell of curry embedded in their clothes, skin, hair, and homes, even if they might on occasion like a curry meal. I am not even sure that many IndoGuyanese do.

Blame them coolie basements.

wait wait leh meh throw in wan bigany or aloo ball or wuh bout some phulourie ? eh ? eh / watch Caribj ah head fuh RH right now .

kiddie just arrive smelling of curry at some venue where people are not eating and watch while people question your hygiene. Its not customary to smell of the food that you eat.

maybe you might tolerate that but most people dont.

I also dont eat curry every day so if you smell like you do you dont get too many fans.

If you guys think Indian curry from Guyana stink you fellows should smell the guys from India, Pakistan, Ethiopia, Eritria, Somalia and Zanzibar.

Those guys are covered with spice smells far worst than Guyana curry. You think Guyana curry smell bad you should smell that you going to run for mama after.

Quite true which is why smelling like food is a bad idea. A smell liked by one mightnt be by another, plus it conveys the notion that either one doesnt bathe or one doesnt wash one;s clothes.

I dont think an American will appreciate some one walking around smelling like KFC or Pizzahut either.

I like the Somalian and Ethiopian injera sour dough bread. It look like a pan cake. I went to the home of one of my Ethiopian friends and he was making a set. That thing stink and smell so bad when he was making it. But it taste good after.

fufu,foofoo, foufou, foutou comes from west and central africa where they grind veggie roots . Bannnas and green plantain originated from south east asia and the british took these plants to all their tropical colonies including subtropical USA . The africans used to grind this as well as cassava which is indegenious to SA to duplicate the roots they used to motar grind in Africa . So fufu plantain is in fact a creole dish . Sorry to bust yuh bubble Caribj

fufu is a dish created in West Africa. All your rambling does nothing to offset that fact. That is unless you are about to tell me that Frech Fries is a Peruvian dish because potatoes were brought from Peru to Spain and then spread to other parts of Europe.


BTW the British did not take plantains from south east Asia to Africa. It spread through migrations of peoples many thousands of years before. Just as sugar cane eventually spread to North Africa.

Rice, which did not originate in Africa, was an integral part of the diets of peoples in what its today Liberia and Sierra Leone that planters in South Carolina SPECIFICALLY imported slaves from those regions of West Africa to plant rice, which was then use dto feed slaves throughout the Caribbean. Why in 1620 would they have importe dpeople who would have only known rice through the British, using your logic.

Kiddie people take raw materials acroos cultures and geographic regions. They then utlize these items in their own way. So Joloff rice is African as is fufu.

In fact platanos is an integral part of the diets of Latinos from the Caribbean and Brazil. And were long before the British reached Asia. It is considered an African influence, given its absence in places where few slves were brought. Puerto Ricans know about fufu. Very few slaves were brought into PR after the British became influential in global trade.
