That pork dish looks and sounds sublime - my favourite yet. I just wish I coul dget it but I'm afraid casareep isn;t around these parts! I will dream instead.

Also, just noticed that for some reason you weren't in my favourites?! Now swiftly amended!

Cheers

That was so fascinating to read about... cooking and leaving the pepperpot out for days. I've never heard of that. And the fact that the cassareep keeps it safe is very
interesting.

It looks delicious.

Alina - you are very welcome and thank you! I am hoping to do an article for an international publication that will hopefully open up the casareep market.

Peter - I know you would love pepperpot.

Susan! - you are definitely on to something there - it could be our own version of garlic bread! When next I got to Guyana, I am definitely going to try this. Don't worry, you have it here in writing - all credits and part proceeds from marketing and sales go to you too!

Doggybloggy, Cheerful day, Dana & Moheta - a warm welcome to you all and thanks for your very kind comments. Hope to see you around.

Suganya - it's an Amish white bread recipe.

Click - thank you, darling.

Sandeepa - yes it would.

Mandira - thanks and yes, it can.

Helene - ...and we'd be very happy to have you visit.

Andrea - welcome! evil?! yeah, I guess it would be evil because you are not currently sitting with a plate of pepperpot in front of you! (lol)

I can send you the recipe but I do not have your email.

Jyothsna - please do.

Sylvia - I have to email you to find out about your pepperpot.

kamini - such a high compliment! Thank you!

Meeta - always my dear, always.

Shilpa - I think that you'd like cassava - makes good chips too.

Well, I hope that if you do go that you get to taste some of the flavours of the Caribbean and not just an Americanized version.

Karin - no hon, this is eaten around 10.30 - 11 a.m. after sleeping in late on Christmas morning.

I've got to check out your answers.

Maryann - are you sure you want to know? :D It's a similar big meal just as Thanksgiving, just some of the dishes are different.

Thank youJenn - that's what I set out to do each week. Thanks again.

Interesting dish ... Breakfast food? Well, perhaps not too early in the morning. ...

I had to look up 'pepperpot' in my dictionary because I haven't heard this word before.
According to my Dictionary:
1. A West Indian stew of meat or fish with okra, chilis and other vegetables, flavored with cassareep, Cayenne pepper and the like.
2. A pepper box.
3. In Pennsylvania, a soup of tripe and dough balls highly seasoned with pepper.
