Breadkind is a Caribbean term covering all the starchy, filling foods that anchor a meal — think yam, cassava, breadfruit, dasheen, plantain, sweet potato, and green banana. Basically anything that does the job that bread does in a European meal: gives you substance and keeps you going. It's a practical, all-encompassing word rooted in Caribbean food culture and reflects the diversity of staple crops in the region. Ask for your plate to come with breadkind and you're asking for the hearty base of the meal.
