Suriname Food
|
Just like its neighbors, Guyana and French Guiana, the Suriname food is quite different from the food that you get in other countries of South America. |
Where Is SurinameRight until the 1970s, Suriname was a Dutch colony. During colonization, the Dutch brought in Indonesians and East Indians to work as laborers in the plantations. The workers made their food using the spices and ingredients that were available locally. Slowly their style of cooking blended with the cooking of the indigenous people and the Europeans. Today, this is what Suriname food is all about.
The people from Suriname use a lot of exotic fruits and seafood in their cooking. However, the basic ingredients that are constantly used for making nearly all dishes are cassava, rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, lentil, plantains and tayer, which is a type of tuber.
Some of the Suriname foods that you should eat when visiting the country are as follows:
- Pom: This is a chicken dish made from tayer
- Pastei: This is a chicken pot pie made in the Creole style
- Dhal: This is a type of lentil stew
- Roti: This is a flat bread that is grilled and served hot
- Curries
- Vegetables served with peanut sauce
- Bakbana: This is fried plantain served with peanut sauce
- Goedangan: This dish is nothing but a vegetable salad served with coconut dressing
- Bojo Cake: This is a type of cake made from coconut and cassava
- Phulauri: This is fried lentil or chickpea balls

- If you are a seafood lover, then you should definitely try Vatapa. This dish is made from different types of fish, vegetables and pepper. Another Suriname food that is quite popular across the country is the pepper pot made from meat, vinegar, pepper and spices.
