📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Pate kode are fried turnovers sold at Haitian stalls: ground meat seasoned with epis, salt cod, smoked herring, and the like are wrapped in thin dough, folded into half-moons, and fried. Crisp outside and spicy inside, they're popular for breakfast and snacks. Serving them with pikliz is the Haitian way.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a Haitian morning, fresh fried half-moon turnovers are packed into paper bags at a town stall as children head to school.
