May I ask what are some of your fondest memoriesof Haiti?
Ah yes!
I remember leaving the capital every summer to go stay in the countryside of Arcahaie. There we went by the ocean and had a feast on coconuts, avocados, mangos and guava from my grandmother's garden. We did that almost everyday of our summer vacation.
I loved to listen to tales in the moonlight every night. We had such an open and large backyard. it seems that every kid in the neighborhood was there.
I loved market days. It was on wednesdays and Saturdays. My grandmother hosted most farmers coming from the hills to sell their goods in town at the market. They stayed overnight and "parked" their donkeys and horses in our front yard and backyard. They talked all night!

During Mardi-Gras time, it was tradition, men dressed with straw skirts and covered in dark thick molasses paraded the streets of Arcahaie early Sunday mornings often dispersing the crowds that have gathered for mass at St. Pierre church as they try to lay their sticky hands esspecially on people wearing whites. These men were called asasen. I wonder if they still do that. Se te bèl lavi!

What is FRIED AKRA made of?
 |
Fried Akra, or Akra is made from Malanga. You will find a malanga in the produce section of your neighborhood supermarket. |
 |
When you cut into a malanga, the inside should be fresh, crispy and white. If you find anything other than that, take it back to the store for your money back. |
 |
Peel the skin off. Cut the malanga into big large chunk so that you can have a firm hold on it while grating it. |
 |
| Use a cheese grater to grind the pieces of malanga. |
 |
Add your favorite spices: finely chopped sauteed onions, spinach, even a dab of your favorite sauces, salt, pepper as you wish |
 |
| I usually add finely chopped watercress, salt and hot pepper to mine. |
 |
Heat up your extra virgin olive oil, and bring the mixture to the frying pan or a deep fryer. |
 |
| Fried Akra |
 |
| The Fried Akra should be crispy on the outside and chewy and soft on the inside once it's ready. Serve with your favorite sauce. |
