That rice looks delicious
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
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.
God that looks delicious.
American conservatives are still malding out because they don’t think black migrants should be allowed access to food.
Black people.
How dare they
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.
Damn that’s fuckin wild
Just like mom used to make back in Haitia.
I want someone to get Vance to show us Hatia on a map.
Looks absolutely tantalizing. Yum!
While the whole pet eating rumour is ridiculous, there is no way to tell the origin animal of those meat pieces there.
Are you fucking serious?
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.
Actually, it looks delicious
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.
omg, they processed cats into rice
This looks so good.
To be fair though, I don’t know that I would be able to tell the difference between cooked cat/dog and chicken, beef, or pork, so this may very well be a pet feast for all I know (/s the whole thing is obviously BS).
However, I do remember growing up near a family that was from somewhere in the Carribean area, I feel like it was Haitians, but this was 30+ years ago so no actual idea, and I distinctly remember that they had a giant tortoise at their house that they were keeping to kill for food. I remember they even cut its head off while I was there and it was still biting onto a stick they put in its mouth. I don’t know what the meal was that they made from it and I never actually tasted it.
I’m hungry now.
Folks, repeating and riffing on horrifying racist lies is still racism, even when you do it “ironically”. This goes for OP’s title, too. Do better.
You must hate the comedy of Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock…
Are you Haitian? Those people are black. The fact that you don’t understand why this is different tells me everything.
