Dominican Foods
I, myself, am devoted to what Dominicans call Russian salad: the potato, carrot, onion, beet thingy with an egg vinaigrette.
Sort of bland on its own (like most Dominican food), but as a side dish to chicken (or pork, which I don't eat), etc., pretty to look at and fits the carb place nicely.

i also love potato salad, in every version. i learnt a neat trick from a campesina in sabaneta: chop the onion first, add salt and vinegar and let stand for an hour or so, when you prepare the rest of the ingredients. when ready, tossed them into the bowl with that onion and vinegar. adds nice flavour.
in poland, we add to it finely chopped boiled carrot and parsnip plus pickled cucumbers.
ps i love haggis.
normally i prepare mine with those marinated onions, green celery for crunch and a dollop of mustard. miesposo loves but i would not serve it to his family, ha ha.
I used to tell the comedor I frequented that it was ensalada de "Polaco" since I grew up eating it in a Polish family. Ours was not so bland and we used more eggs. I made it myself for the first time a few years ago and except for needing to put a bit more salt I have to say it came out pretty darn good. (If we put some carrots we use less than here and cut more finely).
yep. miesposo as well. but then he eats all kids of strange food i make that his parents turn down without even trying.
we had two types of potato salad from xmas (both made by my MIL): potato+egg and potato+apple+grapes. not bad as a side, we had lots of different dishes, but a bit bland on it's own. i added some gherkins, onions, pepper and mustard.
i can't believe we still have food from saturday left. it might be the cause for some intestinal disturbance we are experiencing now. but hey, i'm down two pounds this week. so there is a silver lining to this brown cloud.

cassava having a low glycemic index (GI) is good for diabetics. Cassava can be fried as a side dish, cooked with ribs or made into flour and baked in bread and cake. Cassava cake being one of the famous desserts is consumed in huge numbers.
Nowadays it’s easier to find bags of frozen cassava at Latin markets, where it comes peeled and ready to cook.

The food that will be the closes substitute if "Yautia" It pretty much taste like the nasty starch that turnips are.
