You can roast, boil, fry the breadfruit, make breadfruit pie, breadfruit salad and even breadfruit punch

[@KurrdeigeLenora]

Wow wow wow! I will share with my grandfather these other ways breadfruit can be used. Pie. Salad, punch…the almighty breadfruit 😄. Ms. Matheline are you from Saint Lucia or another country? I’m curious since I have never heard of some of these uses.

You are such a loving caring and sweet young lady you are polite you are concerned about your grand parents you make me very home sick as a Lucian myself I am 77 years old and living in Brooklyn NY thanks for sharing your vlog and your daily activities you take me back to my childhood in StLucia

[@KurrdeigeLenora]

Awww my grandparents are my heart. You’re very welcome. I’m so glad you enjoyed it and that the experience brought you warm nostalgia.

[@amandachrome9310]

Wow a new sub here, lucian but was brought to Barbados by my mother when i was 3yrs old in the 70's, i miss her dishes so much, she did one with salted sardines and ground food oh my i wish i knew how to do it, chicken backs look so yummy

[@KurrdeigeLenora]

Hello Amanda! Sounds like your mom made some nice “salt fish and ground provisions” using salted codfish. Soo yummy 😋 Thanks for dropping this comment. Have you visited Saint Lucia since?

[@LauraJosephAlvarez]

Thanks for showing covering the breadfruit with turmeric leaves.ln St. Lucia we also used banana ,macambu or lobster claw (barlizye) leaves.The English name for tesor for those outside St.Lucia is coalpot. Our browning is made from brown cane sugar and the dark browning has not harmed our ancestors/grandparents. Love your blog my girl.love the setting 🎉❤😊😊😊😊😊

[@KurrdeigeLenora]

🫶🏾 thank you! Beautiful explanation 😊 We love our browning 😆

[@rosiedaniel7018]

Hi, Kurrdeige I have been following you for quite some time now. Loved your Christmas blogs. I was born in Castries and always wanted to experience country living. I think it's the most wonderful thing to experience in one's lifetime, thanks for the privilege to do so. Through you.

[@KurrdeigeLenora]

Wow! My pleasure Rosie ☺️

[@sharonharris4888]

Growing up in VFort banana leaves etc. were not readily available but I remember mum covering the ground provisions with plastic bags then covering that with the pot cover.

[@KurrdeigeLenora]

Oh yes! My grandmother does that as well. How could I forget that method? Thanks for sharing your memory Sharon.

[@islandgirllove9114]

@@KurrdeigeLenora my mom used plastic bags also and look how.we know of how dangerous plastic is for our health now. The leaves are safer so kudos to granny!

[@merlesampson1954]

Your grandad remind me of my day cooking breadfruit,he use to let it dry on the fire and the dry skin at the bottom of the pot.We use to beg for it this was crusty and nice

[@KurrdeigeLenora]

😄 That sounds like a treat! You have some warm childhood memories of your Dad's cooking. I bet he was a great chef! I love eating breadfruit with the skin as well, but most of my family prefer to remove it.

[@pearlholmes4291]

As a Trinidadian I love your down to earth attitude you are not pretentious or devious about your culture and I love that about you so although it’s my first time seeing your channel I am looking forward to seeing much more.love from me to you and your family

[@richieb3602]

Hi Kurrdeige. Would be great if you could connect the igniter on the stove so that your grandma can light without matches. It is way safer.

[@KurrdeigeLenora]

I fear the gas tanks 🤣 so I appreciate the suggestion. Thank you.

we cook breadfruit same way in Dominica

[@KurrdeigeLenora]

Thanks for sharing 🇩🇲! Dominica is basically our sibling. I will visit one day for sure.

[@sylviadescartes52]

Beautiful authentic vlog as always, Kurrdeige. I love watching your vlogs. You can also roast the breadfruit, not only cook and fry. Daddy did a great job cooking the breadfruit. Keep them coming Mum will have issues with this little browning you're having her use..but its heathier, so that's good

[@KurrdeigeLenora]

We completely forgot about the roasting method. Thanks for the reminder. 😆 Yes, I don't think mama liked my suggestion but she tried to compromise.

[@nicholashenry7778]

You guys have an antic plate covering the breadfruit

[@KurrdeigeLenora]

Oh yes…that enamel plate (‘plaque de caye’) is much older than I am. 🤭

[@merlesampson1954]

My dad stuffed his with macambo leaves,balizea',or he had a piece of flour bag cloth.He use wood to cook it on not coals.

[@KurrdeigeLenora]

Wow! Hi Ms. Merle. I love reading about your memory of your Dad cooking. The flour bag method is new to me. After your Dad covered the breadfruit with leaves or flour bag, did he then cover it with a pan cover? I noticed my grandparents put on the pan cover even after using the leaves...maybe just to hold it down or prevent dust from flying into the food...I am not sure.

We roast them too 🙂🇯🇲🇱🇨

Thank you 🤗🫶🏾

[@pastryshack551]

Why not cut it in half to see if it's bad. Some times the stem gets soft from the heat, but the bread might be fine just check it by cutting it this way you will know

[@KurrdeigeLenora]

I guess my grandpa already knows the signs of whether it was worth it to continue cutting it 😄

[@pastryshack551]

@@KurrdeigeLenora many people use it to make a pancake if it's soft, so put your own skills to work. Don't depend on grand dad, he expects yo to use you own knowledge and come up with your own ideas. Add some garlic, onions, thyme, turmeric, cloves, pepper, a tea sp of baking powder and you have a beautiful pancake from a soft breadfruit, that some people throw to the pigs

[@KurrdeigeLenora]

@@pastryshack551, no one would eat the pancake 😄 Are you from Saint Lucia? I did not know people made pancakes out of breadfruit since we don’t do that on the island from my knowledge. Thanks for sharing 🙌🏾

[@pastryshack551]

@@KurrdeigeLenora sorry I learn this from jamaicans who when the breadfruit is soft which we consider not good they use it too make pancakes. I tried it and it's beautiful. Like the red blossom from the end of the bananas I found out it was edible. And we threw them away all the time

[@KurrdeigeLenora]

@@pastryshack551hello 👋🏾 when breadfruit is “ripe” (kind of sweet and a bit soft), we boil it and pair it with meat or anything we want just like we would an “unripe” one. But in this video, the breadfruit Daddy tossed aside was spoilt so it’s no good to use for anything (at least from our 🇱🇨 perspective). But it’s so good to learn how others prepare their breadfruit. Your example showed how different islands have developed innovative ways to enjoy this one produce. 🫶🏾🙌🏾

[@sammysammy7666]

I'm curious, you said the browning isn't healthy, but you have the processed sausage and cookie.

[@KurrdeigeLenora]

You are right...It is a process where you'll find out things to cut out. I don't eat cookies (don't like too much sweets) and enjoy the convenience, versatility, and tastiness of sausages. That is another thing I will stop consuming. Thanks sammy.

[@lloydieism]

We don't eat boil breadfruit except in soup. Our favorite is roasted breadfruit, what should she be ashamed of?

[@merlesampson1954]

You can roast the bread fruit i love breadfruit in all way,i call it survival food

[@KurrdeigeLenora]

Oh yesss! How could we forget to mention the roasting method. Roasted breadfruit is great during a day at the beach. 😆 "Survival food"...breadfruit always got our backs

[@alphansodavis8892]

Can that be used to cook?

Hey Alphanso, what are you referring to? Describe it so I can answer your question. 😊 Cheers!

Cook the rooster too😂😂😂

[@KurrdeigeLenora]

Ikr! It's making too much noise. 😂

[@pastryshack551]

It looks very good to me, if it's soft or black, then I would say it bad. It looks like it isn't be on the young side that's why the milk inside

Browning the meat will not make it unhealthy

[@KurrdeigeLenora]

I have not read any research about it. I just realized most times sugar is burnt to brown the meat. I just linked the sugar used to caramelize with maybe increased blood sugar.

[@kaylaolivarez1]

You still in school?

[@KurrdeigeLenora]

Yes, I am. I will resume documenting the experience soon.

[@sammysammy7666]

Don't take off the skin of the carrot. That's where all the nutrients are. Just wash it

[@KurrdeigeLenora]

That is so true. Just that the carrots have the brown stuff (from soil) so I scrap off the skin. But I'll just wash it well enough next time to make sure we're getting those benefits from the skin.

[@sammysammy7666]

Slam the cutlass down like the pork

[@KurrdeigeLenora]

😆😆 Hi sammy! I am not sure if the breadfruit was just too hard or Grandad does not have all the strength he used to.

[@sammysammy7666]

That sausage has cancer causing properties

[@KurrdeigeLenora]

Oh my!! Not the sausage too 😞😥. It is something that tastes so good (a bit too salty though haha) and so convenient to prepare. Dang, I just briefly read about it...as a processed meat, they can increase risk for colorectal cancer.

[@diane84]

Bread fruit healthy for but I neverever liked it

[@KurrdeigeLenora]

😄 I can understand that. I’m not obsessed with it but still like it (mostly when it’s ripe and sweet or fried).
