Onward we all go, but the local foods are so much cheaper, so many may not have a choice with prices continuing to rise. Thanks for stopping by,

But so what, it gave sustenance to our ancestors so we could be here today. Plus it's all still VERY GOOD :) Well, if people want to be technical– most of the foods and dishes found in the West Indies can be considered “slave food”.

The "slave food" jibe will remain--it's a fact that the plants were brought from Tahiti to provide food for slaves, but did not match the needs. Still, lots of Jamaicans love breadfruit and eat it whenever they can get it. Try roasting on a grill (unpeeled) or even on a gas stove (peeled); better tasting than baked in an oven. Not everyone likes their breadfruit on the sweet side. In Bim, they boil and then pickle and serve with souse--very nice. Good for you, in both the adventure and the health sense.
