Did not know Trinidad use 'rice and peas' also. Thought it was peas and rice..
The guyanese have it backwards
It could go either way, noh soh?..Or is this the thought process:l if you have more rice than peas, then is rice an peas, and if is more peas dan rice, den is peas an rice...?
Rice is the dominant ingredient, therefore it's rice and peas.
Awoah!
in trinidad its peas in rice
Well everybody got it wrong.Inna Belize we seh "Rice and Beans" with coconut milk and "Stew Beans and Rice" without.
@wyvern in Barbados its the otherway round too.\r\nPeas and Rice... If you say it the otherway it is a tip off on who is outsider... lol

Spanish influenced and Latin countries say beans instead of peas. A hundred thousand variation on the same thing. In Guyana there's probably about 15 variation on the same thing depending on where you live and what you put in or leave out

Way back in colonial days in the B. West Indies esp. during the war it was Peas and Rice because rice was imported for many of the islands. So as a luxury the rice was used more sparingly. But most everybody kept their own pea tree. So in truth you had less rice in the pot.
