Haitian Ti Malice Sauce

All matters food…

Ti Malice had this friend who kept coming to his house for food. This annoyed Ti Malice as his friend used to come to his house daily to eat. Some of us can relate, we have that one friend who always comes like an hour or 30 mins to meal times. So one day Ti Malice decided to prepare a sauce with lots of spices (something I always do). He even went to the extent of putting a lot of pepper to the sauce so that it becomes hot (so that you do not ask for some…haha). His friend as usual made his stop, once he tasted, he quickly rushed out of the house screaming. Ti Malice was happy that his plan had worked but alas, to his shock his friend had gone out to call his friends to come and taste the great meal his friend had made. He claimed it was the greatest sauce he’d ever tasted; he liked the many spices and pepper used. (Haha clearly no weapons formed against him were going to prosper!)

Hence the sauce named after Ti Malice Sauce. This sauce is common among the Haitian people and often used in all their dishes.
