One of a kind Food Experiences
One of the reasons to visit Haiti is that its food is as diverse as the rest of the nation. Food from Asia, Africa, and Europe are served in restaurants. Everyone will therefore be able to find something special to them. Many people are shocked to find that exotic seafood is used in Haitian cuisine. They also combine anomalies, such as smoking herring with pears, frying maize in fish broth, smoking chicken with bananas, and mixing rum and soda. The staple foods of the indigenous are rice and bananas. Since chicken flesh is prized as a delicacy, many people have never had it.
Haitian cooking practices and traditions are the foundation of Haitian cuisine. It is a Creole cuisine that developed as a result of the blending of several culinary traditions that inhabited the western half of Hispaniola, including African, French, indigenous Tano, Spanish, and Arab influences. Similar to "criollo" (Spanish for "creole") food and the rest of the Latin Caribbean, Haitian cuisine also has some significant geographical differences. With strong African and French influences as well as significant adaptations from regional Tano and Spanish traditions, the flavors are bold and spicy. Levantine influences have entered mainstream society as a result of Arab immigration that founded numerous businesses.
