Haitian spaghetti (sometimes espageti, espaghetti, spaghetti a l'hatienne or espageti ayisyen) is a dish of Haitian cuisine typically served for breakfast.[1] It typically consists of spaghetti noodles and hot dogs in a sauce made from ketchup and epis.

Ingredients and preparation

The dish typically combines epis with ketchup to make a sauce in which spaghetti noodles are tossed. Typically sliced hot dogs are included.[2][3][4] Onions, garlic and peppers are common inclusions.[5][6] Vienna sausage or herring is occasionally used in the place of hot dogs.[6]

History

The dish was developed during the period of

US occupation from 1915 to 1934, when American foods such as hot dogs and ketchup were introduced to Haiti.[2][3][4][7][6] It is considered a comfort food.[6]

Serving

It is a common breakfast dish.[2][3][4][7] According to Eater in 2017, it was not a common item on restaurant menus, but was becoming more common and was available from street vendors.[2][6]
