Haiti

Haitian cuisine is a flavourful blend of African, French, and Caribbean influences, featuring bold spices and vibrant ingredients. Staples include rice and beans, griot (crispy fried pork marinated in citrus and spices), and diri ak djon djon, a unique black mushroom rice. Flavoured with scotch bonnet peppers, lime, and herbs, Haitian dishes are both hearty and aromatic, reflecting the island’s rich cultural heritage and love for communal meals.
