Fire Engine is a traditional Bahamian breakfast. It consists primarily of canned corned beef sautéed with onions, green peppers, and tomato paste, often served with rice or grits. This simple, shelf-stable dish is known for being salty, savory, and affordable, making it a popular breakfast or any-time meal.
The name "Fire Engine" has ambiguous origins, with theories suggesting it either refers to the spicy heat from added peppers or the red color of the tomato-based sauce resembling a fire truck.
