So I was with the grandmothers today so I could finally learn how to cook Haitian and Vietnamese meals. I learned how to make Griot, which is a staple Haitian meal that's made with Fried Plantains, Fried chunks of pork and it's served with something called Pikleze, which is basically a really spicy coleslaw, and rice & beans. I also learned how to make Vietnamese Spring Rolls, Beef Noodle Pho, and Go Ro Ti.
