You can buy the packaged bammy of you can try my simple Jamaican Bammy recipe. The Jamaican bammy, a type of flat bread, is a favorite among Jamaicans when eating escovitch fish. This cake-like bread is made from grated cassava and coconut milk.  As I mentioned it is typically served with fish however it can be served with Jamaican breakfast dishes like ackee and saltfish.
