Another Top Chef inspired food-web journey. Checking out the festival dishes from episode 1, Gregory’s pikliz threw me. Was he using ghetto spelling to be unique? A little googling led me here:
Turns out pikliz is a real thing, the name spelled Haitian style to indicate the Haitian style pickles. Spicy! Also, looks like they are not too difficult to prepare. The perfect thing for a pulled pork sandwich?

That does seem like the perfect counter balance to rich pulled pork. Mike and I watched an episode of Good Eats recently where Alton Brown jerry rigged a Weber into a smoker using Duct Tape and an external heat monitor. Yhis would be the right mechanism for doing American Southern style smoking. We might try this out!
Then again we do have the fire pit already built in the backyard for island style smoking using leaves and fronds. Maybe Mike and I should have a smoker battle…
