Discovering The Pure Pleasure of Haitian Peanuts

Peanuts are usually... well... just peanuts. There's nothing fancy or particularly interesting about them; just a simple bar snack to nosh on between sips of beer, right?

Not so when said peanuts are of the roasted Haitian variety.

There's something extra-special going on with these nuts; their flavor more naturally robust than anything packaged in those blue canisters on your local grocery shelves.

I first fell in love with Haitian peanuts at the bar in La Sirene, the elegant restaurant within The Marriott Port-au-Prince. The rich roasted flavor really took me by surprise. Dry, light, unsalted, perfection – you simply can't enjoy a beer quite as much without them.
