Breadfruit
If you don't live in a tropical region of the world, a breadfruit might be a hard thing to find, or very expensive. However if you live where it's grown or even happened to have a tree, that could be a great advantage because it grows so fast and so abundantly you could find yourself with more than you can handle.
When I was growing up there were always some activities with breadfruit in my family, because my mother is from the southern part of Haiti where Tonm-Tonm (a mashed up ball of breadfruit) is the region's speciality.Tonm-Tonm is always served with calalou (Okra stew) over the week end in every household in that region . Although I liked the stew but I couldn't never swallow the paste without chewing it as it's required. The first time I tasted fried breadfruit, it became an instant favorite, and ever since, I never missed a chance to eat some whenever I had the privilege.
Breadfruit can be used the same way as white potatoes and has a similar taste and texture when cooked.
In Haiti the dish par excellence is Tonm-Tonm which is mashed, breadfruit can be fried in chunks or thinly sliced for chips, made in stew, soups, stuffed, it makes an excellent croquette, a sweet pudding, preserve, and can also be ground into flour.
