In the Haitian country side, eggs are usually wrapped in Fey Maskreti (Palma Christi plan leaf, also called castor-oil plant) for safe transport to the marketplace.

The brown rope like thing that wraps the fey maskreti is "Pay Mayi" (the inner leaf of a corn)

Somewhere in Haiti, Kabrit la sou dife... We have just started cooking the goat meat, and the chef is putting the final touches. LOL...

This is how you cook goat meat Haitian backyard party style: Find a big chodyè, dump the entire goat meat in there, throw in the ingredients, some plantains, some rhum Barbancourt and voila!

Goat (kabrit) and Guinea fowl (pintade) are two favorites dishes of the people in the Plateau Central department of Haiti.

Whenever you're in Hinche, be sure to enjoy some boiled kabrit or pintade. you will love it.
