Hahahaha that would be a great idea. A large part of the population is moving away from farming, especially after the abolition o slavery and immigrant parents wanted their kids to become lawyers or doctors. Almost no one wants to work fields anymore. My grandad also had a patch of land at plantation Laarwijk, but he sold it, because none of the kids wanted to farm and be so far away from the city. We've all settled here.

There was even a time in history when the Suriname government had to open up the borders to Haiti citizens, to work the fields.

And about the limited variety; I guess Surinamers have a limited diet 🙈 and some don't like "new" things. For example with my parents, sometimes we ate the same type of vegetables every week; became staples 😅.

But I do think, that in more rural areas there's more variety.
