Dear Jackie: I had wondered for years about the breadfruit project, whether it had been a realistic
project, since I had never heard breadfruit mentioned except in relation to the Bounty and the
mutiny. I found a site which says that Captain Bligh made a second voyage to Tahiti, got more
breadfruit plants, and delivered them to the Caribbean. Though they were indeed a valuable
source of food, the slaves refused to eat them. But they are used today, though not a principal
item of diet. Here is a URL about it:
