More food sellers than food handlers’ certificates

Oct 24, 2023 Dem Boys Seh, Features / Columnists, News

Kaieteur News – Well, well, well, if you’ve been living under a coconut tree in Guyana, you might have missed the hottest business trend. It’s no secret that food has become the unofficial national pastime – you can’t take two steps without stumbling upon a culinary stand on every street corner. Forget the gold rush, we’re in the food rush!

They say every two corners in Guyana, someone’s cooking up a storm, and they’re not kidding! This place has more culinary corners than a geometry book. Cooked food, I mean, none of that fancy raw stuff – we’re talking curry, roti, cook up rice, chowmein, fried rice and plenty fast food. It’s like a constant food festival, and it’s happening daily!

But what’s got the dogs howling is the fact that the people of Guyana are so smitten with this food frenzy that even the pups are barking for their fair share. You’d think it’s a canine rebellion.

Now, you might wonder, with all this food being sold from caravans, roadside stands and car trunks, who’s asking for food handlers’ certificates? Well, my dear reader, that’s about as rare as the rain these days. We’re living in a world where too many are cooks without the credentials, and hygiene?

It reminded dem boys of de time when after driving non-stop for eight hours, dem boys pull over at a restaurant. Dem boys went in, leaving the wife in de car, and placed an order to go. After writing down de order, de girl behind the cash register asked, “Will that be all for you?”

“No,” dem boys replied defensively. “Some of it is for my wife.”

 Talk Half! Leff Half!
