Merging the cuisines of my Haitian and Scottish heritage helped me unpack my biracial identity
VODOO HAGGIS SUPPER CLUB -- Marie Fitrion and her husband Daniel host a three-course Haitian and Scottish fusion dinner for 25 strangers; the event is called Voodoo Haggis. Because both cuisines are nose to tail, the combinations of rich flavours and tangy notes worked together beautifully. The menu read like a love letter to myself: hickory-smoked haddock with Haitian-style cabbage pikliz (pickled slaw) and fried plantain. Braised pork shoulder called griot with haggis and mayi moulin. And lavender-lemon scones with clotted cream and coconut tablet cocoyé, a coconut sugar disk.
If smoking a joint is to be allowed in our parks, why not a beer or wine? Even Doug Ford agrees
