Why Breadfruit...... Cause

[Delta]

I've never tasted breadfruit. I guess I can do that in April. So is it a sweet taste as in what you get with fruit or is it more of a vegetable feel (if that makes sense)?

It's not sweet, really doesn't have much flavor but it is pleasant. It's a starchy food, thus the name.

I would say neither -- definitely more starchy like yam. Its one of those food items that goes well with something else on the fork like a mouthful of breadfruit with ackee and saltfish. When we fry it or roast it, we sprinkle salt on it and eat it like that.

Love breadfruit! Love it roasted or fried and I really LOVE it when my dad makes Breadfruit Rundown!

Just think of the name........bread & fruit.....that's exactly what it is and how it taste. I like it fry but got to have some ackee and saltfish or jerk pork or chicken with it, it's also nice with avocado. Just treat it like you do your bread.

You are right, the young breadfruit is used for soup. I have never heard of frying the young breadfruit, it's the roast breadfruit that is fried after roasting.

Frying the young breadfruit is a special treat that we do instead of "French fries". You have to get the oil nice and hot and they only take about 2-3 minutes to cook. A nice light brown coating and they are done. Yes, we fry the roasted breadfruit as well.

Nothing better (in my opinion) than a nice soup with young breadfruit.

I once had breadfruit pan fried with bacon and it was very good. I do not know if it was previously boiled. I have enjoyed ackee with bacon also. OK, maybe I like anything with bacon.

Generally it's roasted then fried, not boiled then fried.
