A Bajan salt bread, which is by no means salty, can either be whole-wheat for those seeking a healthy retreat or the regular golden brown variety. It resembles a large round bun, and opens up to a puffy, soft inside waiting to be filled. Cheese cutters can be done with a splash of mustard, others choose to add Barbados' unique brand of hot pepper sauce. Fried eggs are also a popular addition as well as luncheon meat.
