When walking in the so-called fancy neighbourhood, one is very disagreeably struck by the sight of various unsightly, small shelters, which often serve as a charcoal or banana shop.

Daar ik op elk gewenst moment uit de klas kon gaan met mijn strafwerkboekje ging ik vaak bij de Javaan die een bacovenwinkel had pal naast de school, petjil en andere lekkernijen kopen om onder mijn vrienden te verdelen welke ik dan via het raam door gaf aan de klas.

1993, Don Walther Donner, Swietie Sranang. Kan me nog meer vertellen. Herinneringen aan een rot jeugd [Sweet Suriname. Tell the marines. Recollections of a lousy childhood], Southend on Sea/Noravia/Rotterdam: Laetitia Boeken, page 53:

Since I could leave class at any time with my imposition notebook, I often went to the Javanese man who ran a banana shop right next to the school, in order to buy pecel and other snacks to distribute among my friends, which I then passed on to the class through the window.

(Suriname) a roadside stall selling bananas

De Raadsman van de heer Mungra (...) wilde (...) de uiterste clementie vragen voor zijn client, daar men hem aanleiding had gegeven te beledigen. Men schreef namelijk, dat de heer Mungra een bacovenwinkel had en dat men in de Staten geen bacovenwinkels nodig had.

1950 April 27, “Mungra veroordeeld [Mungra convicted]”, in De West, page 3:

Mr Mungra's lawyer (...) wanted (...) to request the utmost clemency for his client, as people had given him grounds to insult. In fact, people wrote that Mr Mungra ran a pigsty, and that there was no need for pigsties in Parliament.

Daarom hamert hij erop dat ministers geen propaganda kunnen maken voor hun partij. "Het wordt een bacovenwinkel. Het is onjuist. U zit daar namens het volk en niet namens een politieke partij."

2019 September 8, Naomi Hoever, “'Ministersambt strookt niet met partijpropaganda-activiteiten' ['Cabinet post irreconcilable with party propaganda activities']”, in De Ware Tijd, retrieved 2020-10-19:

That is why he insists that ministers cannot engage in propaganda activities for their party. "It'll be a hot mess. It is wrong. They took their seat on behalf of the people and not on behalf of a political party".

Parmessar hield het college voor dat ook internationale stappen ondernomen zullen worden, want zo ga je niet om met een land. Waarnemend voorzitter Melvin Bouva voegde hieraan toe dat hoewel het om de bacovensector gaat, het hier geen bacovenwinkel is.

2020 February 14, “Parmessar verontwaardigd over persbericht Belgisch bedrijf [Parmessar outraged by press release from Belgian company]”, in Starnieuws, retrieved 2025-02-02:

Parmessar put it to the assembly that international steps should also be taken, as this is not how a country should be treated. Acting Speaker Melvin Bouva added that although we are talking about the banana sector, [Suriname] is not a shithole.
