I had no idea that Guyana has such a large East Bengal contingent! My mother's family is originally from Calcutta, or Kolkata as it is spelt presently. My great-grandfather swapped what is now the Tullygonge studio outside of Kolkata for a house with three ponds in Dhaka during partition. My Nani's family still live in Kolkata and when my mother was still alive, would visit them during a stopover to that eye hospital in Madras (Chennai?).
The lime drink seems lovely. I guess we would call is shorbot (a soft t) in Bangladeshi Bengali. I no longer have an image hosting platform for forum sharing as most my food photography is now paid work, but if I can figure out a way, perhaps I could also upload some pictures here of what I cook and eat these days!
