shared by TIFFANY wcta on 01 Feb 11 - Cached
  • The island of Hispaniola, which encompasses both Haiti and the Dominican Republic, was inhabited by hunter-gatherers as early as 5000 B.C.

  • It was not long before the first European arrived on the island and began introducing oranges, limes, mangoes, rice, and sugarcane. Slaves from Africa were eventually transported to Haiti to work the sugarcane plantations.
  • Haitian food is often lumped together with other Caribbean islands as "Caribbean cuisine."
