What Salt bread is
Soft white loaf with a savoury edge, served with soup.
Salt bread is listed as a bakery item in the Bahamas guide, where the index tags it vegetarian and mild. That is the useful shorthand, but it is not the whole story: the same name can cover a breakfast version, a street version and a restaurant version with different garnishes and prices.
