You can get fresh breadfruit in Springvale Market in Melbourne. It is a little pricy though! But the tins are equally good as don't know what to look for when you buy the fresh one as I was a bit dissapointed as it wasn't very starchy.

Dana, it's a more a family spice mix, all curry powders are particular to a family, ie, they all differ from family to family, so a vegetable spice mix would be particular to Peter's family or his nannies family, and with her spice grinder she has brought her particular mix into the fore. It would be good to know the ingredients and amounts, but a good Garam masala would do the trick. It's as easy as going to your local asian grocer and taking a whiff of the different curry powders/ garam masalas and making your own choice, but as a rule darker mixes for red meat and yellower mixes for vegetables and poultry. Dont buy Keens or Clive of India curry powders and think you're gonna win coz you will lose, go and hunt out a proper spice shop and ask questions. As for tinned Breadfruit, YUCK!!! I dont think you will win with tinned shit. I would take a drive to the tropics and buy fresh. Breadfruit is one of my favourite Starch vegetables, its sweet and has a lovely texture.
