Manne's World: Bruine Bonen Wars

Helio Phoeli PhotographyThe kitchen of Suriname has among it's many treasures a dish called 'Bruine Bonen met Rijst' or 'BB met R' or simply BBR for short. This simple, but delicius dish consists of brown beans and meat and is served with rice. It is incredibly easy to cook, but very tasteful nonetheless. It is also the focal point of the Surifatu cul
inary experience for those very reasons.

Every Surifatu Man is thoroughly convinced that his BBR is superior. At first, this notion and the competitive spirit in the group resulted in what can only be described as a thinly disguised cook off. One friend would invite the group over to play X Box and another one would be in the kitchen working on his secret recepy and tweeking it to perfection. If it tasted good enough to result in praise from his fellow Surifatu Men, another would head down to the store the very next time we all met and head for the kitchen with intensity.
