It means so much to all of us who have worked for years to get these boxes removed - only to be told the other day, 12 years later, that the council will not be removing them. Debbie and her family deserve the world. And they really do make banging food ❤pay them a visit and support them wherever you can!

[@K1ddkanuck]

Out of curiosity, what about having them painted with street art that reflects Umana Yana and Guyanese food? Here in Toronto, the city actively hires street artists to paint those sorts of things. I'm assuming the rules are different in London, but if those boxes could be turned into a sort of extension of Umana Yana through art, maybe that could be the next best thing?

Always great seeing pepole embracing and learning more about their West Indiant roots in different ways, I didn't expect to see this.

[@kayflip2233]

That's why places like Toronto, Brooklyn/Jamaica Queens and London can relate - we all have a consistent mix of rapping since the 1980s, patois slang (no matter what race you are 😂), roti and doubles, carnival, grimy surroundings and experiences, and we all know people from several Caribbean islands, and really people from all over the world whose cultures have also influenced us. You can move around interchangeably between these 3 places and you will feel completely at home if you grew up in one of them just from the city vibes, hood people, over the top diversity and hip hop / West Indian culture.

[@samyakjain727]

That's so heartwarming :') I'm Indian, but b+r in the UK, and know that South Asian influences have crisscrossed so many other food cultures over time. Stay blessed. It's a beautiful world. Listen to the pain and try to heal it, but don't let it crowd your whole field of view. One love

Y'all have inspired me! My nickname is Curry Guy because, despite my very Scottish name, if I could eat curry for every meal, I would. I learned in the kitchen from Indian aunties how to make Indian curries, I learned from a local Jamaican place how to make Jamaican curry goat, and have extensively watched Japanese KZbin to learn how to make Japanese curry. I need a new frontier of curry and I think Guyanese food is it!

[@msnicotiana]

That's so based tbh, curry is truly a superior culinary form factor. What's your favourite regional curry you've had so far?

[@iainronald4217]

@@msnicotiana Torokeru was really interesting, it tasted like HP Sauce mixed with demi glacé, which shouldn’t work but it was wonderful. But, can’t go wrong with the classics, my favourite is Jamaican goat curry over rice and peas, the one I make most often is Shahi Paneer. What about you?

@@iainronald4217 yumm I love shahi paneer! I've never tried goat curry before, my city doesn't have any jamaican restaurants 😭 my personal favourite is fish suruwa, but specifically crab! suruwa is a Fijian-Indian curry, and I first tried it after going to church with one of my Fijian-Indian friends as a kid :D it features the usual suspects such as ginger, garlic and garam masala, but it's my favourite because it reminds me of my childhood and my friends~ I love a good midweek kadai lamb from my local Indian restaurant, too!
