Baku Kitchen! An independent reference of traditional food

Haiti

Ask what Haiti eats and the answer starts with this: kreyòl cuisine of citrus-marinated fried meats, mushroom-blackened rice, and fiery pikliz on everything. Look for Griot (citrus-marinated pork chunks boiled then fried crisp), Soup joumou (pumpkin soup eaten January 1 to celebrate independence) and Pikliz (fiery pickled cabbage-carrot relish with scotch bonnet). Pork marinated in sour orange and epis, boiled then fried; it is the centrepiece of Haitian celebrations and is served with pikliz.
