TRYING HAITIAN FOOD FOR THE FIRST TIME!

2020-06-05 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 21 min

A mukbang-style video of Chantal trying Haitian food ordered via Uber Eats for the first time. She unboxes the meal, reads menu names (including pikliz/pickled vegetables, acras/acris made from malanga, fried herring, plantain, macaroni salad, rice and peas, and a Dijon-style chicken), tastes each item, and gives honest reactions — praising the macaroni salad and chicken cooking while noting the strong, salty/smoky pickled fish and spicy pikliz. She also tries a Couronne fruit champagne soda and comments on the weather and ambient noise during the meal.
