Thank you!!!💛

More to come!💛

Thanks! I know you love Okap but that breakfast is common all over Haiti lol. I’m surprised you said fresko with kokoye flavor or pistach is a southern thing😅 we even have it in my hometown Plaisance, which is in the North department just like Okap. Have you been to other places in Haiti besides Okap?

@@ruttyb @ruttyb Yes, they have all the things I've mentioned in other part of Haiti. But, that breakfast comes as culture due to the fact that each "machann" always have them as "combo" in almost throughout the whole town. At night machann pistach nan tout lèt l la jiska Barrière Bouteille. Yes, I've been to other places from South to North. Maybe things have changed , but growing up in the 90s I did not drink my first kokoye or pistach frèsko until I traveled to PAP. I was such a fan of the kokoye flavor that when i went back to Okap, I've asked for it everywhere and people did not know what I was talking about. Although, Plaisance is in the North, there are tremendous difference between Okap and Plaisance when it comes to dilect and culture. Yes, I've been to Plaisance, very nice and peaceful place. One of my most beautiful vacation place as a child.

Okay I get it. Things have definitely changed since the 90s. Overtime certain practices become common. While certain things remain popular in specific areas. Like adding cashews to chicken. That is something I’ve only seen in the North (not just Okap, the entire North).

@ruttyb True. Thanks for your time and thank you for sharing the beauty of Haiti!

Mèsi! 🙏🏾

I was cringing😂 it completely slipped my mind to ask her not to peel them.

It's still late! We used to have "pate cho" on Sundays after 4am mass and the other days after 6am mass. The smell of coffee, akassan, and cafole.

Thank you!!!

You call pistache what? Lol

@@ruttyb anmizman back in the day Ruthy. Machan anmizman banm 10 kob anmizman. Yon ti ver 45 years ago you wasn't born yet. La vie etait belle. Once again tk you Ruthy

Oh okay cool to know! Now people call it pistach like everywhere else in Haiti.

@@debz123lol thank you so much for the update, I forgot completely about that word.

Ru Haitian

Yes! I’ll add the prices next time.

Thanks! Probably not cause this is something I do on the side & I like to post quality content, which takes time.

Things have definitely changed😢 so sad what it has become.

Me too, but the closest I can get to is some chestnuts.

I know piman on eggs is normal lol. I said the carrot thing, which kinda looked like pikliz but wasn’t. It was just carrots & piman.

@@ruttyb yeah that’s what I was referring to.. it’s normal.. that’s how they do it

Oh ok got it!

😅😅😅

Omg sorry to hear that! Never again for me too!

Horse meat?

Horse meat😳😳😳 Is this en vogue in Haiti? That's the first I heard of horse meat. I NEVER used to hear that Haitian people would eat horse meat during my time growing up in Haiti.

The first time I heard about it was in 2015 from my husband. He says he didn’t know people ate it until he was in college. So it’s not something he grew up eating.

@@ruttyb Understood. Horse meat is a hard pass for me LOL.

Pa” fe sa , mwen ca vini coonya

I’ve been doing my own nails since moving to Okap. I ordered everything on Amazon. But I saw a shop on instagram called “Splendid Beauty Lounge”. It looks really nice! Have you heard of it?

@@ruttyb beautiful job on your nails, no I’ve never heard of that salon. Thank you for the response I wait patiently for your videos 🥰

That’s not pikliz😂 it only had carrots & piman. Pikliz has way more ingredients than that.

Hey! It’s ruttyb@gmail.com

Rare? Lol….definitely not rare in Wanament & that area is known as the place that eats it the most.

I’ve been here for 4 months & haven’t had EDH even once. We rely 100% on our own electric system.

Downtown Okap isn’t all of Haiti lol

@@ruttyb I know haha but I’ve heard other folks before say there’s a pica pollo epidemic taking over Haiti.

Yes

I’m going to ask my grandma about it. She’s from there.

It's safe come check us out

I don’t get it at all. How could it be safe to move around where you at and in PAP, it’s a total different matter? Your english is great, have you previously lived in the States?

Port-au-Prince is located in the West Department and Cap-Haitien is located in the North Department. It’s a minimum 5.5 to 6-hour drive between the two departments. Haiti has 10 departments in total. Most of the issues are concentrated in the West Department, some places in the Artibonite Department & recently in the Central Department. No major issues in the remaining 7 departments.

Understood, thanks for the feedback. It appears that you’re enjoying yourself. Have live in the States before?

Yes, for 21 years.

Do you know what’s grown in the North department and what isn’t?

@@ruttyb those sausages are not Haitian products, I don’t think Haitian manufacturer sausages, and most of the eggs that haitien consume are from the DR. With all the back and forth conflicts between Haiti and DR, let’s hold on to self-respect prides, let’s not support any street vendors that selling Dominican products. Discourage them.

You said “EVERYTHING” I ate are Dominican products. Thought you knew something I didn’t cause most of what I ate are local products.

@@ruttyb I’m not trying to be a bother . I’m curious, does Haiti manufactured sausages. If so, where and what’s the name of the company.

Look up Carisa
