Roast Breadfruit and Saltfish

I just spoke to my dad and it brought back some wonderful memories. I can remember when he use to take me to the fields, we call The Garden and the river where we would fish. We would spend all day in The Garden picking fruits and veg. I spent most of the day eating fruits and sleeping on banana leaves for a bed. I'm a city boy at times I wish I had a garden or even a green house. Well if gas prices keep getting higher I may just have to get one. Thanks for reading. Here is a recipe for breakfast or lunch it doesn't matter. My Grand Father is still alive and everything he eats comes from The Garden and yes they raise animals also.
