Toulimen,

I did not say the ancestors ate soup on Independence Day. At the ceremony in Bois-Caiman, they were serve soup or some sort of bouillon before they started the war that led to Haiti's independence.

Tolimen you know very well that Haiti's history is always written by Americans and other foreigners who do not speak a word of Creole nor understand the language but claim to know Haiti's history more than Haitians themeselves.

Those Americans/foreigners who are self-proclaimed Haitian historians and experts write a more distorted/misleading history of Haiti the way they want the world to know about Haiti.

Toulimen keep in mind the ceremony in Bois-Caiman was a "Gumbo/gonbo" meaning a souper/dinner, which whites and foreigners refer to as "voodoo."

The topic is: Why Haitians eat Bouillon on Saturday?

My bad, I have thought it differently. I read your posting very quick and I agree with you those American historians believe that they know our history better than us. I fought them a lot in school during my undergrad studies. At a PhD level now, the > >
