I found this food at TOPS Market in Buffalo, NY and not sure what this is and it says its made from Dominican Republic.

Have anyone ate this before and is it fake by made here or is it made in DR and brought it here?

Are you serious???? Have you ever BEEN to DR? Cassava is sold and eaten in every nook and cranny of the country.

And this package is from the cassava capital: Moncion.

The sign is for "Guava Bread", not for the cassava shown below!

The "guava" is probably baked there.
Try some!!!!!!!!!!!
Put some olive oil and freshly crushed garlic on the cassava, put it in the toaster oven until "toasty"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some comes with the garlic baked in.
Butter works too.

Cassava comes in natural, peanut butter, garlic and also with guava which is spread between two slices before packing. It tastes totally like cardboard but I understand if you keep at it, it eventually tastes better.

In the 19th century, casabe was moistened and used as a type of mortar for securing bricks and cinder blocks during the construction process.

Workers found eating the casabe mortar were severely punished and weakened mortar joints were blamed for several building collapses.

When cassava bread is freshly made and still warm, it is delicious. I agree that dried out, it resembles cardboard, tasting only a tad better than the Listin Diario.

Hmmmm, well I've been waiting for 40 years.... still tastes like cardboard to me. :)

Mr. AE loves it.

Our Irish daughter-in-law LOVES it, I brought back about 15 packages for her in coconut, peanut butter and guava [we can buy the plain and garlic in NJ].

THE JONY CAKE tortillas are available frozen in the big super markets.
You let them thaw, stuff them with whatever you like, seal the edges, you just put some water on the edges first, and deep fry.
When you make them yourself, you can use better, and more varied stuffings.

That sounds good.

I've never been a freezer/frozen food shopper, not in DR or NJ, and it bit me in the butt this year. The whole time we were there, I was trying to find the masas for empanadas made from yuca. That's what they use at the beach where we go, and I really prefer the yuca to the flour ones.

I finally gave up, and bought a few packages of the flour ones on our last day [to bring back to NJ, I don't like the Goya or La Fe ones they sell here] in a bakery in San Cristobal.

Asked about the yuca ones, and she tells me they sell them frozen in La Sirena [the only supermarket in San Cristobal, where we'd been about 50 times since January]. :(
