Call Me Guyanese

These ethnic groups brought to Guyana with them unique individual cultures that over the years fused to develop into our now colourful Guyanese Culture. Just take for instances, Pepperpot, a traditional Amerindian dish, has now become a Guyanese custom/ tradition to eat during the Christmas season. Christmas would not be Christmas in Guyana without a taste of Pepperpot.

Another Guyanese custom is at the dawn of a New Year, it is traditional to prepare Cook-up, a traditional African dish. Our cultural diversity has also produced a rich variety of festivals (such as Diwali), celebrations, and development of the preforming arts, inclusive of Masqueraders. In addition, the fusing of our different backgrounds has established a form of broken English which we speak (besides Standard English), called Guyanese Creole.
