Caribbean Breakfast

Throughout the islands, the tradition of a big Caribbean breakfast has remained strong. Some days it is just a large hearty bowl of cornmeal, banana or hominy corn porridge which is served with cocoa, coffee, chocolate or a variety of ‘bush’ teas and fruit.

Or it can be an astonishingly large meal with a choice of many types of fish dishes, sausages, liver, ‘bully beef’ (canned corned beef), ‘cooked food’ (boiled bananas, yam and dumplings), cassava cakes, tomatoes, ackees, callaloo, cabbage and avocados and, of course, bacon and eggs. Different islands have their own special combinations which are served in restaurants and these are available, if not daily, certainly on Sundays.
