~~No one.~~

Literally any white Midwesterner.

"Oh yeah, bud. That chicken sure was a jerk. Very spicy."

My inlaws from Illinois, probably.

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."

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

Do those even exist anymore?

Outside the Midwest, yes

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.

I’ll also volunteer to “inspect” the food. I vow I’ll try every plate until I find something

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

You'll get to the bottom of this…plate of food.

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.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (6 children)

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).

Odd. Thought they grabbed dogs like Saturn eating his son.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The huge industrial dog farming operations in Haiti are a sad sight to see.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

I saw a video on one, too graphic to link.

It was a really ruff watch.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pfft. Planets don't have mouths.

As evidenced by Shoemaker Levy 9 though, gas giants are certainly capable of swallowing other large astronomical bodies that get too close.

Turns out, they DON'T have that dog in them

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I guess they must not feel like that and they don't chase the cat.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It was nice of them to resurrect the cat as a zombie and put it back in that lady's house like it had never been gone!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's what you think. The truth is that Ms. Sassy framed the lady. She hid in the basement with a burner phone and hacked into the lady's Facebook account to accuse Haitians of eating her.

And that's why she was named Ms. Sassy.

Ph shit, I checked and it is real!

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

Fuck you OP I gotta go get Hatian food now.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

I used to live across the street from a Haitian restaurant.

Bro, you are genuinely missing out. Fuckin find a place it's fire.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

So that's where my pet rice went

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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 🤣

Forget about the dogs. Where are the recipes?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

God that looks delicious.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Gross. Tobasco? Get that shit out of here. Food looks good though.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'd take any hot sauce over tobasco.
