Okay, so it didn't occur to me before to submit this cause it is a local cuisine which I make often and have made quite a few times since January began lol. I finally wrote up a recipe for it a while back and it was one of the first recipes I submitted to Zazz, but the photo is new :D. One of my absolute faves, great side dish for stews or curries or even saucy vegetarian dishes like callaloo. I like to eat all on it's own with ketchup and pepper too, yum!

My Trini Style Cassava (Yucca)

A few years ago, when I was living in Florida for a short time, I got yucca as a side dish in a drive thru place... Can't think of the name of it. It is delicious and is a great substitute for potatoes. I love the flavor and texture... Just yummy! I bought some and boiled it and then put butter and vinegar on it... Yummy... Kind of a cross between a potato and a mild cabbage if I remember correctly...

YW racr, I find it so interesting as well to see what is available in certain parts of the world and the names for things too! For example Bergy posted a recipe using chayote and here it is called christophene. Cassava is yucca, sago is tapioca pearls, I bet I can go on and on :lol:.

Oh wow Bergy, cool to hear that you see the fresh root available where you live. If you do get to try it I hope you enjoy.

willow, your creative attempt makes the photo look really dreamy! Love it! That is really cool that you had callaloo before. Put some of that over the cassava and you have a great nutritious and filling vegetarian meal right there! Well that's if they make the calloloo without crab in it lol. and thank you, I always like to use that red backdrop, it's my thing :oops:.

Thanks Derf and loving the photos, totally saved that recipe. Yum!

Bea oh Bea I wish you were living next to me, I'd be over at your house to eat some of that shrimp with thee :lol:. Gorgeous photo and that shrimp in the foreground, I want to grab a fork and have at it!

Linda, so cool that you know what it tastes like! Cause I certainly couldn't describe it. Nice to hear you liked it too.

Never tasted almond milk before - although I do know exactly where to find it in the grocery store - do you pick up a little almond taste? And I LOVE anything vanilla so will for sure save this recipe for summer when I'm wanting an icy drink... Too snowy, windy, and cold today. :(

The pic is so nice with the brown and green in the background. It makes the milky color pop!

Thanks gk, I was expecting a stronger almond taste but it is not strong at all, it's there but subtle
