Breadfruit, Roast yam & salt fish
The breadfruit tree is my favourite tree I love the leaves. When I was growing up and would spend time with my grandparents they had a big one (breadfruit tree) in the front of the yard I guess some of it is nostalgia (: My DH and I were stuck on Mt. Rosser so I grabbed the camera and took this pic. Roast yam and salt fish is one of the dishes I think the West African slaves who came to Ja. brought it is delish (Rachel Ray coined this I think). The yellow yam and salt fish are put in the open wood fire roasted and then scraped, a little fat (margarine usually) is put on the hot yam and voila its a nice combination...... maybe when you come you can try it.

Okay, after all the breadfruit my dh ate, I am surprised there is any left in Jamaica!
I can almost smell it! Now that puts me in the mood for some callaloo and fish and fungi.
When I was in Jamaica I didn't try the breadfruit, yams or saltfish and I had a list of things to try while there. Love your pictures and hopefully I will return to Jamaica in 2009.
Oh breadfruit.....
When Brunsli and I went to Nine Mile we were starving afterwards, even after a delicious veggie patty at the Nine Mile cafe.... so, we wandered down the road to a local restaurant and had this GREAT chicken, peas and rice and roasted breadfruit..... It was so good!!! I am having flashbacks..... Now, I am even more excited about our trip!! Can't wait to meet you!
