Give me dhal puri
Dear Editor,
I find it fascinating that there is an argument going on over an African dish called black pudding. To think that our society has become so divided that African Guyanese leaders are requesting their fellow African Guyanese to only buy this dish from their own people is definitely a new low in race relations in Guyana.
As for me I always preferred a good Dal Puri. Especially from Shanta’s on Camp Street. It is a national treasure which I could eat at every meal. The consumption of cattle blood was never my thing and living a vegetarian/vegan lifestyle is a personal preference that is extensively accepted in the Indian culture.
So comrades, if this is the path that some irresponsible leaders have chosen, then those that follow them are conscious of the choice they have made and are aware of the message they are sending to their fellow Guyanese.
I know what I like and have no interest in running behind those that dislike me to get something that is theirs. A lot can be learned from embracing one’s own culture and avoiding those that preach hate.
Now, to prepare some of my own Dal Puri with curry aloo/potato and a hot cup of Dal to keep me healthy and satisfied. Life is good, and I love what I already have been given to enjoy in this existence. To eat from a beautiful woman’s hand is a blessing that our culture has always embraced. No need to be blood thirsty when a peaceful existence is upon you.
Best regards,
Mr. Changlee
