My family makes Haitian beef patties for special occasions. Occasions such as: Birthdays, Christmas, Thanksgivings, Communions, and any other special event. I look forward to eating these tasty treats because they remind me of Haiti. My mother’s mother, my grandmother is Haitian and she is very proud of her roots. So, is my mother and so am I too.
