The agoulou is a Caribbean sandwich bread, similar to a bokit, but baked instead of fried. There's not a lot of info on this online, particularly in English, but it is delicious. The buns are halved and filled with your standard sandwich materials, usually cheese, spiced ground beef and ham. They are pressed while cooked like a panini.
