Next Dish: Adobo

Bakes is a traditional Caribbean dish, particularly popular in Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. It is a type of bread roll that is typically fried until golden brown, resulting in a crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior. Bakes are often served with fish or other savory fillings, but can also be enjoyed with sweet spreads or on their own. The dish is commonly eaten for breakfast or as a snack, and is a staple of local cuisine in many Caribbean islands.
