Leguan Lifestyle - fireside cooking

This video is about the simple life style of Leguan island in Guyana South America. It is about the traditional cooking and managing household by an affectionate relationship among the members of the family. It is about highlighting the responsible role played by Guyanese woman in a traditional home. It is about the Coconut choka, Chicken curry and fudge made out of fresh cow milk. Nostalgia at its peak for those who left this life style for a man made urban experience.

@@theshabnashow When do you plan to return to Leguan? You can ask where the murdered house was... That was my grandfather sister's house, they had rice factory and plantations and some of their workers tricked them that thieves were on their plantations and when they opened their doors at the house, the same workers rushed in and murdered all of them . I wasnt in existence as yet but my dad's sister tells us the story . Those older folks in Leguan may be able to tell or show you where the house used to be. I think a story of it is on KZbin. The haunted house in Leguan or the murdered house in Leguan. * The Leguan mass murder is it on KZbin.
