god each of them looks amazing. fuck colonialism.
This seems like a golden opportunity for Haitians to share their favourite recipes. Haitian food isn’t as well known as Jamaican food or Cuban food, but I bet there are some really delicious things. I wonder if there’s still any French influence.
Reminder that JD Vance legit said that they come from Haitia.
Dude doesn’t even know what Haiti is he thinks Haitians are from Haitia 🤣
Btw there is a Haitia. In India
Those Haitwegians, always eating cat
Noooo that shrimp was my pet!!
that meat? CAT, the rice? CAT, the cheese? you guessed it CAT
What would it take to get some of that fish and rice here right the hell now?
My wife is Filipino and cooks rice and fish all the time. Come on over!
Fuck yeah, I’m on my way!
This looks so good.
Fuck you OP I gotta go get Hatian food now.
I used to live across the street from a Haitian restaurant.
Bro, you are genuinely missing out. Fuckin find a place it’s fire.
im sure we could ask RFK about whether or not they eat dogs, he seems to have experience in this field.
Looks amazing, ive personally never tried Haitian food though (my area is Dominican).
Gross. Tobasco? Get that shit out of here. Food looks good though.
Haitian hot sauce tends to be pretty fucking spicy. I suspect that’s there for people who don’t want that level of heat.
Yeah where is mamaw’s home made ghost pepper sauce?
I’d take any hot sauce over tobasco.
Tabasco serves it’s purpose. It has very little depth of flavor but there’s a time and place for it. Like in this dish where you want some zing but don’t want the hot sauce to overtake the flavor.
American conservatives are still malding out because they don’t think black migrants should be allowed access to food.
Black people.
Damn that’s fuckin wild
How dare they
Where can I apply for an Haitian neighbor?
I live in Little Haiti, Brooklyn and can confirm the food around here is some of the best in the city also everyone knows everyone in my building and my block. It’s very much not the norm for New Yorkers. But Haitians, and Caribbean people as a whole, are very community oriented and it’s pretty much impossible not to get entwined with the families you live around. I go to BBQs in front of my building and always get a plate brought up if someone’s having a party. I speak French to some of my neighbors and one friend particularly enjoyes it because she said it reminds her of home, albeit I don’t exactly speak the same French she does haha.
I have no clue why anyone would shit talk Haitians, they’re literally some of the best neighbors I’ve ever had. I mean I know why, Haiti was the first black independent post colony so they’ve been subjected to some particularly really shitty racist attacks historically. Just sucks though, they’re exactly the people who should be citizens of our country.
Once the maga folk migrates to Russia, because you know, satanic, socialist, Marxist, whateveric Kamala, there’ll be plenty of room to fill the country with pleasant people.
Edit: and I’m envious of you, I wish I had those neighbors.
Right?
“My trip to the Caribbean was great, but do not eat their terrible food.” – No one.
No one.Literally any white Midwesterner.
Woah there careful buddy one Color per dish maximum
Nah, the Midwesterner says, “their food isn’t for me, but I hear those New York types like it.”
“Oh yeah, bud. That chicken sure was a jerk. Very spicy.”
My inlaws from Illinois, probably.
I tease my brothers about this all the time. They moved to the Midwest a couple decades ago and their tolerance for spiciness has gone way down. We also get into frequent disagreements about whether The Outback is a good steak house, Red Lobster serves good seafood, or Olive Garden is high quality authentic Italian. We also disagree about the existence of restaurants that are not national chains
We also disagree about the existence of restaurants that are not national chains
Do those even exist anymore?
Outside the Midwest, yes
I’ll also volunteer to “inspect” the food. I vow I’ll try every plate until I find something
You’ll get to the bottom of this…plate of food.
That rice looks delicious
Only tangentially ended up learning about Haitian food before but if my memory serves rice and vegetables are a massive staple in the common Haitian diet. I’d wager that’s some damn fine rice.
It all looks delicious. I’d eat any of the non-fish items (I like crustaceans, but I’m not a fan of most fish, especially oily fish).
I specifically pointed out the rice because it looks vegan; wasn’t sure about the other dishes but yea they all look pretty good
There might be some form of a animal fat, it’s not uncommon to saute rice before simmering in liquid, and extremely common for that liquid to be stock. My money is on a seasoned stock for that color.
Thanks for the insight :) I imagine you could use basic vegetable broth instead though, right?
It’s certainly possible, but the flavor will be different. A lot of food is made to feed as much as possible while reducing waste; stock is a very easy way to get more calories and flavor out of animals (bones specifically). Vegan food is a relatively new concept in terms of culinary history AFAIK so most recipes default to traditional methods.
The taste would probably be quite different but vegetable stock should work. Mushroom broth would probably work better as well. You might need to supplement with more oil or something similar though
Mushroom broth sounds good
