Caribbean brunch: jerk shrimp and grits; yard-style brisket (hidden beneath the vegetables and eggs); and, best of the bunch, a bake with ackee and salt fish. A bake can be baked, but often (as here) it is fried. When fried it might be called a fry bake or (as here) simply a bake. Why so much loyalty to the name, I wonder, when what's best about the bread is the freshness of the fry?
