Breadfruit and everything nice
Lunch in St. Lucia is typically the biggest meal of the day. Not dinner.
Lunch consisted of-
Pink Beans
Cawan Fish
Salad with Cherry Tomato and Carrots
Rice with vegetables + garlic + tumeric and other stuff I'm not too sure of
Breadfruit
Onions
Fried Macabwo (similar to plantain)
My first authentic meal with my host grandma and it was of course amazing. Truly busting. I helped her cook, chop and cut. She wants to teach me all that she can so that when I leave & live alone I am able to cook good Lucian food. But honestly, idk how much I’ll be able to learn. That food was heavenly and I’m sure it took years of perfection to get to that point. I only have a month with her
Every Sunday, it’s tradition to cook a good hearty meal and next Sunday, she wants me to make American food. LOL. That meal took 3 hours to prepare and I can’t think of anything I know how to cook extremely well that will be anything close to the deliciousness i just experienced.
Y’all my grandma really is the cutest. She knocks on my door every 30 minutes to introduce me to ALLLL the people who comes to see her. It’s a lot of people. She’s legit a hometown celebrity and everyone here is related one way or the another. I definitely feel very safe so I’m grateful for that. A lot of her visitors say I look Lucian which I’ve never received before..... no lie each lady says “she looks like so and so” or “you really could pass for Lucian” idk if it’s that or simply because I’m a fellow black woman.... but I’ll take it.
Anywho this post was suppose to be solely about the amazing meal I just ate. It was so good it actually inspired me to write about it.
So here’s to my first time trying breadfruit. Shoutout to my Caribbean friends who are forever talking about it, I am truly a believer at this point.
Ohhh wait!! One more thing....the juice she made from scratch was amazing! It was Golden Apple juice & she picked the fruit from her garden. Y’all her garden is SO big she sells to the supermarket. Amazing right?
But anywho... that was great.
(I still don’t know about Saltfish & Ackee tho) I’ll keep y’all posted.

The fruit pictured below is Starfruit and it's very sweet! Taste and texture wise it's comparable to a green apple almost? That's the best thing I can compare it too. It's amazing and once you cut it, it gets this shape!
