As my time in Georgetown, Guyana continued, I set out late at night to go on an epic Guyanese street food tour!
My guide Stacey from Visit Guyana and I would be exploring the Seawall area for some fish and chips, egg balls, and barbecue! I couldn’t wait!

We started at The Pink Stop, where a fan of mine came up to me and gave me a Guinness Foreign Extra Stout! I love Guinness beers! Then, at The Pink Stop, I watched them cut up and soak some plantains. They also had some rice, but I was here for the fish and chips. But instead of potatoes, they fry the plantains!
They battered and fried some fish and gave it to me alongside the fried plantains. We also had hot sauce, ketchup, and a creamy tartar sauce containing mayonnaise, lime, and pepper. The plantains with the sauces were fantastic. The tartar sauce was perfectly balanced with the mayo and the lime!
I also loved the fish, which paired perfectly with the plantains. It was so tasty and crispy on the outside, while still soft on the inside! Then, we jumped on the barbecue chicken and cook-up rice, which is a popular rice dish in Guyana. This version contains black-eyed peas and corn, along with coconut milk and lots of spices!
You can also cook lots of meats with it, too! It reminded me of Colombian sticky rice dishes I’ve had, and the coconut gave it a nice richness. The chicken had a nice char on it and was very juicy and tender. It was light on the barbecue sauce and allowed the chicken’s smoky flavor to come through.
Then, they brought us a massive container of just barbecue sauce for us to dip the ckicken into! It was good enough to drink! I even liked dipping the rice and plantains into it! This place is open every day, rain or shine!
Then, we drove to Exclusive Egg Ball, Inc., where they make the #1 street food in Guyana, egg balls. The women make them fresh with eggs and cassava, and then throw the in the fryer. They make 9,000 per day! The egg balls come out perfectly golden and crispy and then they top them with a delicious mango sauce!
These are the most famous egg balls in Guyana! They’re perfectly crispy and the sauce is both sweet and a little tangy. It’s simple and unique! I loved the delicious egg and the cassava. It was all so delicious!

And last but not least Stacy is doing an awesome job of promoting her country. Proud of her. David this was another awesome entertaining one of your videos, As always Thanks ,stay safe.

[@KissFromTheWorld]

Egg ball is one of the most famous street foods found in the unique cuisine of Guyana. The second is the cassava ball. These are two simple yet highly delicate treats; you must master specific procedures to make this unusual dish excellent. They are cherished for their mild cassava flavor that melts on the tongue. As for the egg ball, once you bite through the outer cassava layer, the boiled egg awaits you in the center :-) Happy hungry! Cheers, Domenico.

New sub here. I heard of you while watching a Mike Chen video. And man am I glad I did! So many more ideas for when I travel. I started late in life so doing a ton of research takes precious time away from me. 😂 I’ve had a very busy life....I’m the mother of a 29 year old man and a recent widow. I’m a cancer survivor...three times over! I also have 5 autoimmune diseases that take up a lot of time...hospitalizations and long periods of being unable to leave home much at all. I am a chef by trade and all while managing my illnesses I worked in the restaurant industry from 13 yrs old to 42 yrs old and went to culinary school from 28-30yrs old. So, I’ve been busy! 😅 Now that I’m retired and fully disabled I’m living my dream...and young people like you are an inspiration! So...sincerely, thank you for sharing your adventures with the likes of us GenX’ers who no longer have to live vicariously through you and other youtubers. ✌🏻💕😊

Melissa Dunton: welcome to the comments section of Davidsbeenhere. I didn't know that you are a new subscriber. You are going to love it here where you are free to express your opinion. I am so sorry to hear about all the things you have gone through and maybe still going through. Keep your chin up, keep your head up and pray a lot. They say that God doesn't give us what we can't handle but you seem to be handling it well. David also does live shows where we all get in on the chat and ask him questions and we carry on like one big family. I have to warn you that it gets crazy sometimes with some of us. You will love it. He is on on Wednesdays around noon. You should check it out and we will welcome you there as well. The people are very, very nice. So take good care of yourself. I now have one more person to include in my prayers. 💕🙏🙏🙏🇹🇹🇨🇦

[@suddie1215]

Its really amazing to see how Georgetown has changed. I lived in Kitty my last year there and the Seawall was a very quiet place to hang out. A street food culture did not exist; as I can remember the only places you could get street food were at some very sketchy places like the cookup rice sold under a tree opposite the High Court.

[@JudyT868]

Good morning David: I hope that everything passed well last night. Hurricane Ian did some real destruction in Florida that it will take a very long time to recover. Yesterday's session of the tattoo was a very long one but I stayed with it all day until the end. Too bad you couldn't see what we were saying in the chat but the craziness came out and it was really funny and fun. Maybe Nathan and Brandon will tell you. It was great. Even people discussing personal problems that we were all trying to help each other. David, you have to keep these 'lives' going because they are helping people in ways that you could never imagine. Now to anyone who feels offended by my comments on this Guyana series so far by my comparison to Trinidadian and Guyanese cuisine, I would not let anyone take away my honesty and my right to express my opinion. I have made comparisons of foods I have seen in other countries to Trini foods and I have never had anyone criticize me for it. Food is universal and no matter what it is or where it is, there are a lot of similarities, although prepared differently and called by different names. Now I feel like I have to edit and censor myself and that's something that I can't and won't do. Now two terms I didn't know that are used in Guyana are "to lime", and "cookup" which are used in Trinidad as well. I am going to pass on commenting on the food, just this one time, because the comments made by some people caused me to cry this morning while watching this one. Oh no, I don't want anyone's pity because I call it as I see it. David, Nathan and Brandon, you all can read my comments and see that there was no harm intended. I don't know about anyone else, but I read every single comment. So David, I am sorry that my comments today are very different to my usual. Your video did not disappoint or ever disappoints. Great job as usual and I can see that you are enjoying the foods. I love reading and writing these comments, especially the writing and I try my very best NOT to offend anyone. So people have to remember that we are ALL entitled to our own opinion and we could agree, disagree or agree to disagree. So on that note, David, I hope you and your family are safe and that God keeps watching over all of you. Btw, how do you feel after that long tattoo session yesterday? Hope you are not sore. My friend, you are very good at what you are doing, so keep it up. Bless you. 💕🙏🕊️🇹🇹🇨🇦. Btw, I just checked and the 'live' stream chat from yesterday is still on.

[@melissadunton3534]

Plz don’t let mean ppl upset you. I know that I’m not David...but I read your comment anyway. I hope that is ok. Making comparisons to other foods is natural, as well all do that. It is easier to try new things if we have something to compare it to...and it makes us want to try new things. It takes the fear out of it. So you keep being yourself and just ignore the comments from people who have no decorum or manners. Much love to you and yours! ✌🏻💕😊

[@melissadunton3534]

P.S. I, myself....compared the egg balls with Scotch Eggs...as the same idea is there, just different ingredients and tastes. But it is something I would love to try as it is also something a bit similar. Besides...this is how food evolves and changes. That is the entire point of sharing different food cultures!!!! ✌🏻

[@JudyT868]

@@melissadunton3534 Melissa, good morning wherever you are. That's fine for you to read my comments. That's why I write so that everyone can read them. I see you understand where I am coming from. Examples of what was said, among other things, are that there is jealousy and that the only thing that Trinidad produces is crime. Please go back to yesterday's video and read my comments and read the replies that some of them wrote. Yeah, I believe it was yesterday's. Let me know what you think. I don't want anyone taking sides but I just want fair and reasonable comments. And this all came about because I wrote "Trini food in Guyana", as a comparison to the food in Trinidad where some of the foods are the same but called by different names and prepared differently. So thanks Melissa and don't worry, I am going to keep writing and NOTHING will stop me or change that. You can read all of my comments anytime and you can also read all the other comments. No problem here ❤️✌️🇹🇹🇨🇦

[@JudyT868]

@@melissadunton3534 you are so right. I made the same comparison to the scotch eggs as well, only that it is made with sausage meat instead of yucca(cassava). I did the same thing with the foods in India where they have roti, curried chick peas and a host of other foods comparable to Trinidad but they are called by almost similar but different names. And NOBODY has ever written anything negative about my comments. Food is a universal thing and because of peoples' travels, they bring it with them and sometimes we adopt and adapt it to our taste. So Melissa, thank you again. Love to you as well and thanks for commenting. ✌️💕🇹🇹🇨🇦
