nothing better for a quick breakfast...cereal and honey bananas...hmmmmm.....puts our store bought to shame.....

[captaind]

I think we called them "bumpy" bananas. They look like them. The are SOOOOOOO sweet

And I do LOVE roast dreadfruit....

[Jamaica Miss]

We call them finger bananas. There is nothing like them anywhere else. They really have flavor. When they get a little too ripe, we make smoothies without any sugar because they are sweet enough. Aw breadfruit! So good when roasted, then fried.

[Bnewb]

Yup...thought they were finger bananas also...but depends on who you ask & you have to respect the farmer that sells them to you...!
Roasted the breadfruit last night....oooohhhh so good with just a little salt!

Roasted the breadfruit last night

in the oven..??..

So good when roasted, then fried.

...AND the not quite-*ready* young & 'green' ones are not-bad when 'boiled' too

My fiance loves breadfruit. He just discovered this recently. We will be there in a couple weeks for our honeymoon! Is there a recommended place to get it prepared in negril? How would they prepare it? And most importantly, will it still be in season?

Thanks!

ummmmmmmmmmmmm

so,
you arrive in a couple of weeks, eh

well,
hope-fully-ly they don't have a hurricane before then,
'cause hurricanes & strong-strong tropical storms tend-to LOVE to mash-up the bread-fruit trees first-thing.

bananas, & plantains get destroyed next

, and then the weak mango & ackee trees are blown-down.

however,
if no problems/issues, they'll be in-season somewhere (on the island)


WHERE to get it prepared in Negril..??... if you asking about one of the usual Ja-tourist eateries you're probably a duck-out-of-luck ----- 'cause unfortunately most tourist don't eat that stuff:::: too-many of 'em have stuck-in-a-rut taste-buds:::: dem want french fries ..... they don't want no breadfruit, boiled bananas, or boiled dumplings

PLUS,
and most-importantly
bread-fruit can be a '.dear.' item down-there
kinda-sorta hard to get at a food-for-sale eating place

in a post above i joke-ingly asked MissLisa (aka BNewb) if she roasted her breadfruit in the oven ---- as far as i know don't no nobody roast no breadfruit in the oven ---- waaaaaaaaaay to much cooking gas would be consumed. .... therefore, 'tis roasted over an open fire (e.g., wood or charcoal).

ummmmmmmmmmm
however,
i do recall a lady-boardie once mention that her *boyfriend* roasted some breadfruit in the oven --- when i read it i laughed soooooooooo hard::::

oh well
'twas her cooking-gas dime
lol
lol
lol

so it goes

anyhoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
so,
IF
you want roasted breadfruit, here's what i'd do:::::>>>> '.beg.' some somebody at your resort to purchase a couple at their local market (IF they can find it), and bring it back to the hotel/resort.

then,
build ya-self a wood fire at the resort,
on the beach
or outside your room.

lol
lol
hotel management is gonna LOVE LOVE this...!!..

roast 'til done

how long..???
&
any other roast-ing details/tips...??..::::: NOT a problem, just ask some somebody among the hotel staff --- they all know how to roast a breadfruit, and the lesson/instruction should/could/would be big-fun for all.
