      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.

              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

              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.

    American conservatives are still malding out because they don’t think black migrants should be allowed access to food.

        I really appreciate that we’re aggregating this information and starting to call out racist bullshit like this in the media.

        I haven’t watched or read any actual news in a while because it was obvious to me that they’re only reporting on stuff they want to report on.

        It always boiled my blood when they’re talking about irrelevant shit and the stats say that in the past hour there have been x crashes, y deaths, and z other serious issues that have happened.

        It annoyed me when they would make headline news stories about commonplace things like “82 year old grandmother died of old age”… When there’s war, famine and death from not “natural causes” happening continually. They’d lengthen the story with interviews of people that knew the person, and interviews with old folks asking “what’s the secret to a long life” and get bullshit answers from them.

        Who cares? Why are you taking time and attention away from the people who have been shot and killed because the government sent them overseas to fight for the profits of some oil company that wants to rape another country of its natural resources? All those people killed… FOR THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR.

        Then I remember, they get funding from those oil tycoons. They’ve been bought and paid for. The whole thing is corrupt and idiotic.

    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.

      I’m here to offer a solution: Find me a Haïtien to cook for me and I will juge l’influence française.

      Haitian hot sauce tends to be pretty fucking spicy. I suspect that’s there for people who don’t want that level of heat.

          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.
