surinam lunch - Suriname

Surinam Breakfast, Lunch and Diner

It's hard to find a typical light European breakfast in Surinam.
The locals are used to have "heavy" meals at breakfast, lunch AND diner like bread with currychicken, or even fried rice or noodles.

The drinks (also juices) are made with lots of sugar. Very tastfull, but dangerous for us who want to pay attention to our weight ;)
BTW this is probably the cause of high prevalence of diabetes in Surinam...

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
