Our Simple Life in Saint Lucia, West Indies | Village Lifestyle | Breadfruit is in Season
Hi beautiful viewer! Today’s vlog documents a weekday in our Saint Lucian village of La Pointe, Mon Repos. Come spend part of the day with myself and grandparents as we go about completing various tasks around the house. The purpose of these vlogs are to share with anyone in the world how we live. It is simply fun to take advantage of this type of technology where we can share parts of our lives with others while captioning memories with family and friends.
Although this video was published on 'Creole Day' on the island, these clips were recorded prior. Thanks for watching!

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

@KurrdeigeLenora 3 месяца назад

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.

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 🎉❤😊😊😊😊😊

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

@sharonharris4888 10 месяцев назад

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 10 месяцев назад

😄 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.

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 10 месяцев назад

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.

@pastryshack551 2 месяца назад

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

@pastryshack551 2 месяца назад

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 2 месяца назад

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

@pastryshack551 2 месяца назад

@@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 2 месяца назад

@pastryshack551 Месяц назад

@@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 Месяц назад

@@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. 🫶🏾🙌🏾

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.

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

@KurrdeigeLenora 10 месяцев назад

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 10 месяцев назад

Browning the meat will not make it unhealthy

@KurrdeigeLenora 10 месяцев назад

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.
