You eating chicken now ?
In reply to Halliwell
I don't eat red meat or pork since 1979- bird and seafood never left my menu.
How you roast breadfruit, in oven, wrapped in foil, what temperature and for how long?
In reply to CurtisTUrn oven on 325
Wash breadfruit - rub with coconut oil
Wrap in foil - leave for four hours.
Cut in half - then quarters - peel and cut out heart.
You can eat just so or fry (coconut oil) lightly for crisp outside and soft inside. Dat is what I did.
The 3/4 left over will last for the rest of the week - wrap in the same foil and place in a container in the fridge.
These days when I want one roasted on coal, mi just buy it from a vendor I know well. I buy all my breadfruit from him - cooked or uncooked. I am not a fan of taste bad breadfruit (the one with no taste).
True story - I was in Papine market pre-pandemic and told my regular vendor Megan that I didn't want a taste bad breadfruit.
A lady I didn't know started laughing and told us that her 10 year old daughter woke up before she left and begged her to get a breadfruit but not a taste bad one - we all laughed yuh see because dat has deep meaning.

Thanks for that recipe. I will try.
Had roast breadfruit on beach in Bim last month, some youths had a school holiday and had a big fire going, roasting a few. With sea water, nice salt taste.

how do you maintain your weight?
In reply to camos
I walk 20K a week, ride the stationary bike for 45 minutes on the other three days and exercise for at least 45 minutes daily. I drink more water than drinks and all the juices are home made.
In reply to Chrissy
Funny story that. But which is the taste-bad one? Is it a fruit that's merely full (i.e., mature) but not turn (i.e., just beginning to ripen)? I ask because all I recall is that we would only roast/bake the latter and hence never a taste-bad outcome. And, of course, a boiling breadfruit (especially in soups) is a young one just shy of being full.
Racking my brain now, a taste-bad breadfruit must be what we called 'batter breadfruit'. That's one that fell hard on the ground. The battered part does taste horrible.

No man - the yellow heart has a particular flavour - di white one is tasteless. You're right - we roast the one that's mature but not ripe.
In reply to Chrissy
Yuh think sudden watching?
In reply to Drapsey
I don't know or care - I do this for me
yuh know is a white man mek mi realiize yuh could slice the whole breadfruit thinly and fry it like chips heart n all?
I have to avoid roast breadfruit if I want to keep my gut at bay. When I start, I eat the whole damn thing especially with Ackee and codfish.
In reply to Drapsey
Bannuh that is a low blow even for you.
I enjoy a roast breadfruit too
In reply to Chrissy
There is a school of thought that white meat breadfruit turns yellow when ripe.
Not taking any chances I have two dwarf yellow meats in my orchard
In reply to Brerzerk
My mother did that for the entire breadfruit season - we had a tree in the yard. Indeed breadfruit chips are relatively new to the rest of the region. You can get some good ones here these days. Love di Afime brand,
The Japanese slicer is the best tool.
Fry half a scotch bonnet pepper first, tek it out and- then the chips - nice fi days - add a lil sea salt
Likewise roast breadfruit is very Jamaican.
In reply to sudden
Must be a duncy school - taste bad is always taste bad
In reply to Chrissy
What you mean roast breadfruit is very Jamaican?
we have been eating roast breadfruit in Bim and I suspect the rest of the Caribbean for yonks
In reply to Chrissy
I hadnt realised chicken was still on- thought only fish...
Still have to try roast breadfruit
In reply to sudden
Never had it in Bim - I live on flying fish cutters when I'm in Bim
In reply to Halliwell
You'll love it
In reply to sudden
Just kicksing, sudden.
In reply to Chrissy
De Vincies and Lucians have taken roast breadfruit to another level by cutting off the top of the breadfruit just below the stem, cutting out the heart and stuffing it with saltfish or pig snout/tail, re-attaching the top with toothpicks and roasting in a wood fire. The meat kind can be flavoured with sweet peppers, onions and other vegetables n herbs
In reply to Maispwi
Very interesting although di pig would not work for me
Mum used to stuff it with mince meat and veggies and bake it.
In reply to Chrissy
That falls in the category of animal cruelty, doesn't it?
Edited:
Looks like I'm a bit late on that one.
In reply to Chrissy
Di saltfish is fi u and other like minded persons
In reply to Drapsey
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Keys sticking
