I tease my brothers about this all the time. They moved to the Midwest a couple decades ago and their tolerance for spiciness has gone way down. We also get into frequent disagreements about whether The Outback is a good steak house, Red Lobster serves good seafood, or Olive Garden is high quality authentic Italian. We also disagree about the existence of restaurants that are not national chains
I live in Little Haiti, Brooklyn and can confirm the food around here is some of the best in the city also everyone knows everyone in my building and my block. It’s very much not the norm for New Yorkers. But Haitians, and Caribbean people as a whole, are very community oriented and it’s pretty much impossible not to get entwined with the families you live around. I go to BBQs in front of my building and always get a plate brought up if someone’s having a party. I speak French to some of my neighbors and one friend particularly enjoyes it because she said it reminds her of home, albeit I don’t exactly speak the same French she does haha.
I have no clue why anyone would shit talk Haitians, they’re literally some of the best neighbors I’ve ever had. I mean I know why, Haiti was the first black independent post colony so they’ve been subjected to some particularly really shitty racist attacks historically. Just sucks though, they’re exactly the people who should be citizens of our country.
Once the maga folk migrates to Russia, because you know, satanic, socialist, Marxist, whateveric Kamala, there’ll be plenty of room to fill the country with pleasant people.
Edit: and I’m envious of you, I wish I had those neighbors.
Where can I apply for an Haitian neighbor?
Right?
“My trip to the Caribbean was great, but do not eat their terrible food.” – No one.
No one.Literally any white Midwesterner.
My inlaws from Illinois, probably.
Woah there careful buddy one Color per dish maximum
Nah, the Midwesterner says, “their food isn’t for me, but I hear those New York types like it.”

Do those even exist anymore?
Outside the Midwest, yes
TBF, there’s at least a few 1 * reviews for every resort in the caribbean complaining about the local food
To be honest I made that mistake and was shitting liquid for two days, was not any less delicious tho

I’ll also volunteer to “inspect” the food. I vow I’ll try every plate until I find something
You’ll get to the bottom of this…plate of food.
