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.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 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).

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I specifically pointed out the rice because it looks vegan; wasn't sure about the other dishes but yea they all look pretty good

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

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.

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

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

It was a really ruff watch.

[–] refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 3 weeks 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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

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

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks 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!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks 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.

Damn that's fuckin wild

[–] HKPiax@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

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.

Fuck you OP I gotta go get Hatian food now.

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks 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.

[–] lone_faerie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 3 weeks ago

So that's where my pet rice went

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 23 points 3 weeks 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.

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

[–] ngwoo@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Those Haitwegians, always eating cat

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

I want to eat at this person’s house.

That all looks amazing.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Hang on, what's that in the middle- BRUSSIE, NOOOOOOO! I raised him from just a wee sprout. You monsters!!

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)
[–] BruceWang@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

This looks so good.

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 11 points 3 weeks ago

Forget about the dogs. Where are the recipes?

[–] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

What would it take to get some of that fish and rice here right the hell now?

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

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks 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.

[–] TammyTobacco@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'd take any hot sauce over tobasco.

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 6 points 3 weeks ago

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago

I'm hungry now.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

[–] AtomicHotSauce@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Looks absolutely tantalizing. Yum!

[–] friendlymessage@feddit.org 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Actually, it looks delicious

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago

Ugh! Coriander, I'd rather have dog!

[–] forrcaho@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

This is the obvious response to the terrorism-inducing Republican meme. A recipe with a mount-watering picture in response to every regurgitation of that reprehensible lie would have been awesome. A bit late for that now, I think it's dying down ...
