how do you say horseradish in creole. Do they have horseradishes in Haiti? Can I buy it in the mache?

We did not grow horseradishes in Haiti.
I don't remember seeing them in the markets either.

You can, however, look up the French name for it which is "raifort".

If anyone happens to know the Haitian Creole name for horseradish, please let us know. Thanks :)

Ask me anything

Do you think i can wear a grey suit and with sleeve under it and a grey tie and black you shoe to church this morning.

Whether you're in flip-flops or dressed like a king, you should be good for "churching". If anyone tells you anything different, then there's a problem.
