What is the national dish of Guyana?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.
