Crumbz Choice Bread
Choice bread, also known as “chose” or “chose bread,” is a traditional Barbadian sweet bread that holds a special place in local cuisine. This delicious treat is made primarily from flour, sugar, coconut, and spices like nutmeg and cinnamon, giving it a rich and aromatic flavor profile.
The bread is often enriched with ingredients like milk and eggs, which contribute to its soft, moist texture. It’s typically studded with raisins or currants, adding sweetness and a chewy texture to each bite. Chose bread is usually baked until golden brown, resulting in a delightful crust that contrasts with its tender crumb.
Often enjoyed for breakfast or as a snack, chose bread can be served warm or toasted, sometimes with butter or jam. It’s especially popular during holidays and special occasions, embodying the warmth and hospitality of Barbadian culture. The combination of flavors and textures makes it a beloved staple that many Barbadians cherish.
