    Can this person give me the permission to call him or her ” Patience”…due to this fatidic breadfruit roasting operation…this food delicious food needs strong fire all over it at the same time so that it can be cooked in an even manner..set wood or coal by completely covering the entire breadfruit and light it up,make sure the fire is strong enough and by about 30 mins. you can take off the breadfruit from the fire and test it with a knife by pushing it straight towards the middle part ,while doing so make such that the knife goes in smoothly then you can be certain that it is cooked..

    U R making me hungry!

    My wife and I ate Breadfruit years ago in Jamaica when we were there for meetings. We have not had it since.

    They served it with cod. I don’t remember how either were cooked except out-of-doors over a fire. I seem to recall it was a breakfast dish. It was absolutely delicious.

      Mr. Hill do you know that the cod-fish is imported from Canada.

      It is a product of Newfound Land in Canada.

      The imports of Canadian Sat Fish helped save the economy of Canada in the late 1940’s, that is why when West Indians were allowed to immigrate into Canada in the 1950’s as sponsored domestic servants; when the population of Canada complained about the new arrivals, the then Prime Minister asks the people to be tolerant, and reminded them if we had not import their cod, which we eat with our breadfruit, during the Canadian depression their economy would have been worst off!

      Remember from Guyana, in the South, to Jamaica in the North, were colonies of Britain, and it was mandatory for anything imported into the Caribbean be bought within the Commonwealth of Nations; including New Zealand, Australia, and wherever the Red White and Blue, was flown! Elizabeth head is still on your currency!

      I see smoke! Where there is smoke there is fire. Come now, the fire is under the coals.

      If I ever get invited to Dominica to conduct a revival I hope people don’t have to say “Where is the fire :?:

    hmm but that not the authentic way to roast breadfruit that I remembered, where is the wood made into a box surrounding the breadfruit?

      You are lucky to see a coal pot these days, bits of wood are hard to come by in Dominica due to the deforestation to accommodate agricultural plantations.

      Everybody these days are into LPG (liquid propane gas). The coal you see here is not wood burned; that looks like the coal we use here for Barbee-queing.
