Buss Up Shut, a beloved staple of Caribbean cuisine, particularly from Trinidad and Tobago, is a type of soft, flaky, paratha-style flatbread. Known for its resemblance to a "busted-up shirt," the name refers to its torn, uneven presentation, achieved by beating the cooked bread during preparation. Made from flour, water, butter or oil, and occasionally milk or baking powder, Buss Up Shut is cooked on a flat, hot iron surface called a tawa. While its rich texture and buttery flavor make it irresistibly savory, it is a calorie-dense food due to the use of fat and refined flour, offering little dietary fiber. Typically served alongside curries, vegetables, or stews, its nutritional profile largely depends on the accompanying dishes. In moderation, Buss Up Shut provides energy and warmth, but excessive consumption may contribute to weight gain and is best balanced with nutrient-rich sides.
