Sweet-bread competition
Who makes the best COCONUT BREAD in Mtl
Contact staff
If you have ever been to the Caribbean, you’ve heard the debate several times over which Island makes the best coconut bread or as it’s called on some islands “sweet bread.”
The basic recipe is flour, grated coconut, sugar, salt, baking power with optionals of fruits and sweet spices but it’s how you put together the basics and how you nice it all up that takes you over the top.
Barbados has claimed the bragging rights, but the Trini’s dispute it, so do the Jamaicans, Grenadians and of course the Vincy’s.
Playmas Montreal is ready to put everyone to the test and find the best.
