It's not breadfruit, and it's not edible (by humans).

It's a pandanus sp., but it's not breadfruit! Breadfruit has quite different leaves, and the fruit grows from the trunk or big branches. The fruit does look superficially like the picture, though. According to your wiki link, rabid old goat, screwpine is correct.

No. It's not a language issue. Breadfruit is Artocarpus altilis. Pandanus is used for multiple species in the genus Pandanus.

And anyway it wouldn't make any sense to refer to the Pandanus fruit as "breadfruit" since it's not edible.

whatever. you i can call it what you like, i am still calling it breadfruit.

I have no idea of the name, but it is not breadfruit, for sure.... I have always been told it is not edible by the Thai's...

In your defence I guess you're an Aussie possibly from Queensland where this is a common sight on beaches.

Rightly or wrongly the locals call this fruit breadfruit as you say.
