Chipping results in smaller, finer pieces than traditional dicing. To chip a cucumber or an onion, cut off the top to form a new, flat top. Make close, shallow cuts across the top, first horizontally and then vertically, forming a grid of tiny cubes. Then turn the onion or cucumber sideways and

While the breadfruit is soaking up the flavors, make the souse. Bring the water to a simmer. Add the bouquet garni, Scotch bonnet, seasoning salt, and lime juice.
