Bammy is a traditional Jamaican cassava flatbread originating from the Arawaks, who are the island’s original inhabitants. Pan-fried cassava cakes are delicious comfort food in Jamaica, where rounds of bammy bread are a hearty pairing for the island’s ultra-fresh seafood. Bammy is made from bitter cassava (also called yuca and manioc in other American cultures). The traditional process for making bammy bread starts with processing grated cassava to get rid of naturally occurring cyanide — extract the liquid — add salt to the dried pulp — fry and form bammy into a circle in the frying pan — submerge in coconut milk and either — refry or grill the cassava flatbread.
The bread can usually be bought from local vendors, and it is served either for breakfast or on the side as an accompaniment to meat and fish dishes.
