As we begin a month-long celebration of all things Amerindian, the folks down at the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs will be serving up a number of scrumptious Amerindian delicacies for lunch, and, for free!

Starting today, and continuing throughout the auspicious month of September, persons can visit the ministry’s Thomas and Quamina Streets, Georgetown location to pick up their goodies and indulge in the cuisine that was brought to these shores thousands of years ago, by our indigenous ancestors.

According to a notice published by the ministry, the tantalising dishes that will be available all through the month include bush cow pepperpot with cassava bread, bush cow tuma with cassava, deer tuma with cassava, tambaqui tuma with cassava and roast tambaqui tuma with farine.

And, to wash it all down, the ministry will also be providing some of our favourite Amerindian drinks such as fly (potato wine), piwari, vegetable farine, and locally-made fruit juices in a number of flavours such as pineapple, passion fruit and guava.

The organisers at the ministry say that lunches will be packed and ready for pick-up promptly at 12:00hrs, throughout the entire month. Do not miss out on the opportunity to feed those cravings!
