Where can I apply for an Haitian neighbor?

[–] FlyingSquid 49 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Right?

"My trip to the Caribbean was great, but do not eat their terrible food." -- No one.

~~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

[–] FlyingSquid 12 points 2 months ago

Nah, the Midwesterner says, "their food isn't for me, but I hear those New York types like it."

[–] AA5B 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] AA5B 13 points 2 months ago

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

[–] cybervseas 5 points 2 months 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.

[–] FlyingSquid 15 points 2 months 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.

[–] FlyingSquid 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] spankmonkey 10 points 2 months ago

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

It was a really ruff watch.

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

Pfft. Planets don't have mouths.

[–] AngryCommieKender 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[–] PugJesus 25 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] FlyingSquid 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] spankmonkey 9 points 2 months 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 11 points 2 months 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.

[–] spankmonkey 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Wogi 12 points 2 months 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 2 months 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

[–] Nuke_the_whales 20 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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 🤣

Btw there is a Haitia. In India

This looks so good.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Forget about the dogs. Where are the recipes?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

God that looks delicious.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Wogi 7 points 2 months 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 2 months ago (1 children)

I'd take any hot sauce over tobasco.
