The part you eat is underground, is that a root?

I guess I meant to say those long stringy things at the bottom. I also thought it was more dangerous for animals (cats, dogs) than humans

 

[Notengo]

I had some today, I would rather call them gajetas or dry crackers but certainly not bread.

 

[Tom F.]

was that good or bad

I guess bad. I only went once and bought a colon cleanse per his suggestion.

Just so we are speaking the same language, yuca has one C. Also called manioc or Brazilian arrowroot. And in Spanish Cassava is Casabe.

I have been told the water in which the yuca has been boiled is dangerous.

If that is true, how can they add it to soups/sancocho?

 

[monfongo]

I'd rather eat saw dust.

Should be boiled separately and then added...not added raw to the soup/sancocho

 

[JLSawmam]

Not being a stoic traditionalist, I like using crackers with hummus...cassava bread would work fine for that too. I'd opt for the garlic flavored 😋

I guess we’re lucky to be alive. I’ve been adding it raw for decades.

Personality I don’t know nobody who eats it.
It is strange. Dominicans en general like everything soft and suave.
Bread, soft as we used for fishing as kids, pasta almost a dough, meat must be suave.

Doesn't make sense., It doesn't absorb liquids, like bread for example.

I tried to find it yesterday in Bravo since I was going to try it again.

Asked three different stockers and they all sent me to different isles and came up empty handed.

Too many people to keep searching.

I'm eating some garlic cassava right now. A bite of the bread and a little swig of hot sauce. Yummy...

Here we have a number of older women and men going street by street selling it. Usually, sweet, plain, and garlic.

I haven't tried the sweet one, I will have to look into that.

Garlic for me. If I ever find it.
