Do you think we will finally see some movement and concrete action on the food security and nutrition partnership that is being talked about between Guyana and Barbados? I hope so. We like to talk nuff in this region and as the Bajans would say, we like to use ‘a lot uh pretty words’. But here is the thing, this is not the time for ‘no lotta long talk’. Am I being naïve in thinking that Barbados’ Prime Minister Mia Mottley being a straight talker and a doer, coupled with President Irfaan Ali’s delight that PM Mottley “…came with the intention to do personal, intentional and direct work…” that things will happen? We shall see.
As we await this much talked about partnership, I thought that this week I would share with you some Guyanese and Barbadian foodie things.
· Bajan Fish Cakes – Saltfish fritters pair well with any type of Guyanese Sour. It is mostly eaten here (in Barbados) with pepper sauce. But lemme tell you, having it with the Sour, the slight tartness from the cooked fruit and heat from the pepper make for some righteous cutters when liming or snacking.
