I loved the Trinidad series but let's be honest....this Guyana trip would be the best.....I always loved David travelling contents....but he would so love Guyana....he would want to be back again an again....love from Guyana 🇬🇾
Great/Video.., Nice to show case some of the/National dishes if .Guyana.., Great/Job..,Chef..,And with the assistance of..,Miss..,Rahaman was/Awesome..,
lowKut: uh, uh : I am going to be biased because Trinidad food is the best 😄😄😄. Come on, West Indian food is the best because everything is fresh, well seasoned and tasty.
@loKut : If you really think that your experiences and scope of cuisine is extremely limited. Have you ever heard of asian, european, african, moroccoan, south american. etc etc. All cultures offer unique different foods. NO ONE can say one country is better than the other. Doing so is just plain stupid. Anyway even Trinidad is infinitly better than Guyanese, even Jamaican is probably better IMHO. Think before having stupid ego based opinions.
@UCwZmOW2ADBA9O_b8rtvjRgA(opinion) everyone has one ofcourse everyone ganna think they country has the best food so why the long long talking. In guyana 🇬🇾 you what people call people like you (A BIG SKUNT).
Hello from TnT. Well done Chef! You are knowledgeable and well spoken. You represented all the races of your country and bragged about their offerings. You represented your country well and you provided David with the historical background behind the dishes. Superb professionalism. Excellent job by the young lady as well! This made me smile🙂
Agreed. That is what was missing in his Trinidad and Tobago trip - all the historical background. I am so enjoying this trip to Guyana. That metemgee looks similar to Trinidad oil down sans the fish on top. Great job the way Delvin and Stacy explained everything.
@@lizabetx483 hi Lizabet X. How are you? We are communicating again. Yes, the metemgee and oil down are from African roots. It's a shame that they talked about the oil down in Trinidad but we never saw David eat it because David would have remembered and mentioned it. I watched his other videos he posted after leaving Trinidad and he always mentioned Trinidad. David is amazing with his own knowledge of what he is doing. Stay safe and blessings to you.
I really enjoyed watching! Coconut is such an integral ingredient in Guyanese cuisine. Chef is correct, canned coconut milk can never equate to the real coconut milk freshly made. Please share the mitai recipe, I’d be so grateful😊!
hi there, I have never heard that expression calling it Duff, we always called it dumplins, which my mother made from plain flour,sugar, coarse cornmeal, which which we boil with the metem, or put in split peas soup., also you can put it in the cow heel soup.
I 100% agree with the chef you must use the fresh hand scrapped coconut iam fijian we always use that canned coconut is a "NO" go zone when comes to coconut cooking. Taste is so different.
i like the "Raleigh bicycle " green metal sign at the back of you all, in frame @/14: it reminds me of the day this counrty called england uk made things that were good. 👈👺
I had to google what is a bangamary fish n a Guyanese butter fish is come to find that a bangamary fish is called a King weak fish n butter fish is called red king weak fish found in Atlantic in the murky waters off the South American coast which is relative to the weak fish that found a long the North American coast
I don't know what kind of Chinese food they cook in Guyana which is tasty (I have eaten Guyanese Chinese food in Toronto and it's very good), but I think it's Hakka Chinese food in Trinidad. Best and sweetest Chinese food in Trinidad was back when we actually had Chinese people cooking, way back in the 1960's and 1970's. In Trinidad we had Chuck's, ManTen, Horace's and a few other Chinese restaurants in San Fernando where the food was always first class.
@@JudyT868 Judy I hardly buy Chinese food in Trinidad now because once the restaurant becomes popular the quality of the food plunges. I changed restaurants four times. Shanghai in Movie Towne had great food and ambiance but they closed permanently. I am learning to cook it myself. I just need to invest in a Wok and electric Wok burner to get a more authentic result. Most of the recipes are simple and quick once you take the time to learn the basics. Too much soy sauce and a heavy hand with MSG is a familiar culprit. Do you remember the gold and green Vetsin tin from long ago. I can't find it in stores now. My grandmother always had one in her kitchen cupboard- right next to the Yellow Label Soy sauce and the Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce which was used in Afro-Creole dishes.
@@lizabetx483 so sorry to hear that. I remember vetsin but remember that that is a flavor enhancer and you really don't need it. You can use the iron pot if you have one. And you don't need any special electric wok burner either. Here in Canada, we use electric stove. Remember the authentic taste comes from all the ingredients you use, like sesame oil, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce (which I don't use). What you have to do is to cut up your vegetables, put some oil in the pot along with chopped ginger and garlic, throw in the vegetables and make a mixture of a little bit of chicken stock, soy sauce, sesame oil, hoisin and oyster sauce. Add a little bit of sugar and cornstarch to thicken the sauce. You can taste it to make sure it's at the right taste you want and add it to the vegetables. Cook it until it thickens up and voila you have stir fried vegetables. If you want to add chicken or shrimp, coat it in cornstarch, saute until cooked and then add it to the vegetables. So it's all in the taste. I hope that helps. Just remember not to overcook the veggies. Good luck. You CAN do it.
6:09 The spoon is too large for that soup bowl, and there isn't enough sauce in the bowl. This chef is using David to promote his restaurant.If David continues to hang out with this chef, he will most likely lose a significant amount of weight.David's bowl is devoid of sauce; he digs to the bottom but comes up empty.
Metemgee don't have gravy. If you add too much liquid the duff collapses. If you're Guyanese, you would know the difference between these dishes. Go visit Guyana and enjoy. Get off the keyboard. 😀
The lady say fah desert...we get salara...lol omg and the man say ochra our slaves brought from Africa...he really got to research his stuff....I don't know if they just see people talking and wants to join....and specifically they heard and see...

This was the same problem in Trinidad and Tobago when one guy thought that David's visit to the islands was all about himself and not about David'sbeenhere and it became monotonous at times. However, you should wait and see what he does and where else David goes. After watching today's video, I too hope that he goes out in the country and do other things and gets a taste of what else Guyana has to offer.

I’m starving just looking at that good food. I know it tastes good too
Awww I can almost taste that👍👍👌
I could almost taste it all way here in Florida USA 😋😋😄
Ate here with my crew last year…..wonderful experience!!
Without doubt!!😍
My mother used to put salt fish in between the dumplings, humm so good
Guyanese Fried Rice
Metemgee looks delicious 😋
Metemgee my grandmother cast iron pot at the bottom when she cook it is war amongst us girls for the bun bun so creamy ❤️
I love metem with fry shark and fluffy dumplings. But if I used too much coconut it can lead to heartburn. Good thing we got backyard cafe.

I think Gordon Ramsey was here. I love duff. My mum made some fluffy duff. I need to visit and bring my friends.
The metemgee is somewhat similar to our own Trini "oil down"
Breadfruit also came with the slaves it's originally from africa
Sorry people correction we never use canned coconut "sorry"🙆♂️🙏
Love Metemgee with a piece of fish
I love metemgee
Been so long since I had it.
