Coconut bakes are a traditional West Indian food, and some variety of this bread is found on almost every island since coconuts are so plentiful. Traditionally bakes are shaped roughly and by hand, either left to bake in one large free form loaf or formed into smaller, hand-sized "bakes." They are eaten for breakfast with slices of cheese or with butter (or both) and very often, just plain. Most of the time, though coconut bakes are served as a starch with a dinner entree like fish, BBQ chicken and pork.
