I'm have a dinner party for my husband's boss. What do think is better Tunafish or dolphin?

Question

He really could use the promotion. His boss is from Haiti.

Answer 1

How about BBQ horse meat smothered in baby seal livers with a side of unicorn rectum.

Answer 2

I will go with the Dolphin / mahi mahi, I think a great broiled fish with a tropical spicy salsa (mangoes, passion fruit, jalapenos, red onion, lime, cilantro and olive oil) will do great with some roasted veggies and dirty rice or rice pilaf.
*** the tuna I will use only if you are absolutley sure that you can buy it fresh and of a good quality ***

Answer 3

Squid

Answer 4

If he's from Haiti creole dishes would be best if you want to impress. In general, Haitian's are partial to starches and love french desserts. As for meats--I would not serve Tuna or dolphin (this is a joke right?) I would serve spiced shrimp or lobster first--they are preferred meats along with pork & duck.

Okra is a good vegatable, as is corn & yams are an important vegatable in the Haitian diet. Rice and Bean dishes are main staples in the Haitian diet. Fruit juices such as Mango are well liked. Oh and pepper is a heavily used spice so have plenty around.

Following are some traditional Haitian recipes. Hope he gets the promotion!

Pain Haïtien (Haitian Bread)

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Dissolve the yeast in a large bowl in warm water.
