Guyana @ 50 - Bakes

Bakes - a category food taken very seriously in the Caribbean with deep roots in our history. In Guyana alone, there are over 3 dozen types of bakes and the naming of these bakes run the gamut from literal to emotive, to methodic to cultural and more. The bakes shown here today are called fry bakes (literal), floats, float bakes (methodic), Indian bakes (cultural) and this is just a sampling.
