My understanding from talking with a missionary that had lived in Haiti is that the majority of the tomatoes grown and found in the markets were pretty much a generic Italian plum type tomato. He also said it was almost next to impossible to find a beefsteak or globe type tomato in any of the markets.
You might could find seed for chayote also called a vegetable pear that is kinda like a type of summer squash used in Haitian cooking but not sure if it can grow in your area as it requires 150 frost free days.
Scotch Bonnet peppers are also used in Haiti as the pepper of choice for creole cooking so that would be something you could easily find seed or plants to grow out, and would be a flavor of home as well.
Anyways hope this info is of some use
