Uncle revbob, I just noticed a Haitian takeout has opened in our neighbourhood—it's a site that has just cycled thru restaurants of various styles, but none have stuck—and was wondering if you or Mrs. revbob have any special recommendations (generally; obviously you haven't had anything from this place).

That fried pork dish (Pork Fritay Griot) looks pretty good to me, but I don't think we have any Haitian restaurants anywhere nearby.

So are you only considering non-meat, non-fish dishes?

It looks fairly traditional although I dont think Ive ever seen a beef dish, that sort of thing just isnt plentiful in Haiti but it makes a little more sense to incorporate it into your dishes in the Canada/US. Also interesting that the one dish that shows chicken in the pic doesn't mention chicken in the description.

Okay all that said goat (kabrit) can be quite good as can the griot but cooking meat that way doesnt hold up as well over time. When its fresh and hot its quite good. Ive never had bad rice from a Haitian restaurant nor person, and plantains also great, especially topped with some pikliz.

I'm aware that I'll probably have to eat meat if we try that place (tho there is a black beans and rice dish). So goat is probably the meat option to go to then? We'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

Id say any of those meat choices should be good although goat can be an acquired taste and the rice and beans should be excellent although any sauce they might have is likely to have some meat drippings in it if you're trying to be strict with things.

We were at a gathering last night and there was some really nice pulled pork from the local Cuban place (buffet style help yourself.) This one woman was really enjoying the pork until her friend said you know that's pork. She sheepishly said, I thought it was chicken before taking one last bite.

No, I'm not that militant about not eating meat. I'm not one of those people at a cookout who require a separate and pure grill. Don't eat meat if that's your preference, but don't be a dick to others about it.

Must be good pork!

I missed this but always go for the goat.

I like a cigarette yellow hue on my prune donut

Just back from the grocery store, where I stopped at the deli for some freshly sliced lunch meat and cheese. The kid at the deli counter, probably 18 years old, was super friendly, but his black t-shirt was absolutely covered in his own shed hair, which I only noticed as he was leaning over the slicer and preparing my order. I didn't mention it to the kid directly, but after paying at the register, I pulled the manager lady aside on my way out of the store. I discreetly explained the situation and suggested that someone should go over him with a wad of duct tape or have him wear a hair net. I told her that he was very nice and helpful and asked her to please be gentle in addressing it, but...was I wrong to mention it? I didn't want to embarrass the kid or get him in trouble. Anyway, now I have to check every slice of salami and cheese for hairs. Ugh. If I find a single one, it's all going in the garbage.

Ha! I could see that experience happening to Larry for sure. Especially if everyone at the grocery store gives me the cold shoulder next time because I ratted on him and it turns out he's a special needs kid or something and now I'm blacklisted at all the local Tops Friendly Markets locations. But, no kidding, I did actually donate an extra buck to the Children's Hospital when I paid, so they can all just get off my back!
