YESTERDAY - What Haitians in the Diaspora call leftover food

YESTERDAY - What Haitians in the Diaspora call leftover food

Haitians call leftover food "YESTERDAY" so you know... LOL... Here is some leftover Haitian rice and beans (diri kole ak pwa dòmi) with fried eggs (ze fri).

It's a good breakfast combination when you are in a rush to get out of the house to go to work in the Diaspora.

Call your Haitian friend and tell them "w ap manje yesterday?" They'll die laughing... LOL...

Any cooked food leftover in the fridge of a Haitian in the diaspora is called YESTERDAY, it don't matter if it's been there for two weeks.... LOL...

It is custom in Haiti to cook everyday. So once the food lasts through the night in Haiti, they call it 'manje domi'.

Back in the days, 'manje domi' would be spoiled. Haitians say 'manje a si'. but tha's because we had no refrigeration to store the food and keep it away from a bacteria invasion.

Haitian Food - Seasoned goat meat drying in the sun (Vyann kabrit nan soley pou seche)

Goat meat (vyan kabrit) is a favorite amongst Haitian. Goat is a staple food in Haiti. Haitians like to eat dried goat meat (vyann kabrit sech)

After they season the meat with some delicious Haitian seasoning, they put the meat in the sun to be dried.

Haitians in the diaspora always find a way to bring some 'vyann kabrit sech' with them back to the states whenever they are returning from a trip to Haiti.

Haitian Food : Legume LALO ak Vyann

Haitian Food : Legume LALO ak Vyann

One of the staple foods in Haitian cuisine, especially in the Artibonite region, is 'legim LALO ak vyann.' Haitians simply call it LALO.

Legim (Legume) is a Haitian dish that is comprised of a mixture of cooked vegetables mashed up together and cooked with meat.

LALO in English is "JUTE Leaves" and 'legim lalo' is just the lalo (no other vegetables), spices, and the meat.

When lalo is served with crabs (lalo ak crab) it is so delicious. On your next trip to Haiti, try eating some legim LALO ak vyann.

For my Haitian brothers and sisters: Gade photo saa... Yon chodyè legim LALO ak vyann... 20 goud Lalo, 100 goud vyann bèf, total 150 Goud... Oulala!!!
