Salt cod and potatoes with egg, avocado, and banana
🇧🇲 Hamilton
Codfish and potatoes is Bermuda's traditional Sunday breakfast-into-dinner, a plate of boiled salt cod and potatoes served with hard-boiled egg and, in true Bermudian fashion, sliced avocado and banana on the side. Dressed with a tomato-onion sauce (or a butter-egg sauce), it is the island's comfort ritual.
