  • 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."
