12781181, Haitians eat spaghetti and ketchup for breakfast?
Posted by Starks dunked on Bulls, Tue Apr-14-15 05:16 PM
Just spaghetti and ketchup out of the bottle? That's it?

Aka let's revisit Chris Rock's movie "Top Five."

So i guess that's a yes




On top5, seemed like some ppl thought it was a flop/let down

Jawn was funny to me tho

Maybe too long/cut a few scenes
12781190, yup. and maybe a chopped up hot dog.

Not at breakfast though. And we are not Haitian - we were just broke and she was trying stretch out the sauce.
12781203, never for breakfast in my house

I'm talking about a fancy way to prepare spaghetti, ketchup and hotdogs using traders joes and whole foods ingredients.

It's also funny how spaghetti is a side dish in African American homes. My Nana would make spaghetti and fried chicken, spaghetti and fish, etc...
12781411, my mom used tomato paste.. I don't think she ever used
Posted by jimi, Wed Apr-15-15 08:09 AM

@silentintellect
12781490, pate tomate
Posted by teefiveten, Wed Apr-15-15 08:57 AM
lol. sometimes they'd do that but ketchup is easier. tomato paste is so potent.

@silentintellect
12781515, it's true!
Posted by teefiveten, Wed Apr-15-15 09:11 AM
my friend had a whole case and she gave me 2 cans. that's going to last me a lifetime.

my mom would water it down and put it in a tupperware
12781478, Never happened with our family
Posted by DVS, Wed Apr-15-15 08:52 AM
then again...my Aunt Kettly is a wizard in the kitchen...I think she'd look at that shit like it was an insult.

12781623, eh he didn't say anything bad. this isn't unusual for any

immigrant family
adapting american food in a way that makes sense for them

not that haitians have ketchup as a staple but it is cheaper and goes a longer way than a pasta sauce (though we also ate pasta w/ regular sauce as we got older)

and there are a few haitian dishes that have tomato based sauces

jimi's fam using tomato paste is probably the OG application but ketchup is more appealing to kids and easier to get right than tomato paste.
12781780, LOL..

My grandmother use to make spaghetti using ketchup and ground beef. Sounds crazy, but that jank was guuder then a mug.

12781620, There is an intern here who eats spaghetti for breakfast
Posted by SuiteLady, Wed Apr-15-15 09:59 AM
I am not sure how she prepares it or if she is Haitian, but one of the other interns was laughing about it just yesterday.

She is half Pueto Rican. I don't know what the other half is but she is the same brown as me so it might be Haitian.

side note: when I lived in LA people used to always ask me if I was Haitian, lol
