I just returned from my first trip to Jamaica and fell in LOVE with roasted bread fruit. Can anyone tell me where to find it in the L.A. area?

        you can find fresh breadfruit in LA- you have to either go to the West Indian shops or to some of the south Pacific places- remember William Bligh brought breadfruit to the West Indies from the Pacific.

            After searching high and low my boyfriend found some canned bread fruit at a West Indies Market. Not the same, but the gesture was nice. ( Or maybe he was tired of hearing me talk about it ALL THE TIME!)
            A woman I met today suggested Coley's and Ackee Bamboo- Anyone been to either of these restaurants? Neither seem to have any ratings that I can find and just want to know if it's worth the drive..
