Talk:Cassava/@comment-208.84.198.97-20100404134445

Cassava is a staple food throughout the Caribbean island chain. I was introduce to the vegetable in the 1990's in what they call "Goat Water", which is a vegetable soup made with goat meat. Absolutely, the soup was fabulous in all dimensions of flavor and rich spices.

As with the potato, the cassava will take on the flavors of the broth in which is was prepared. Using the cassava root is a great way to introducing cultural foods to all family members. When preparing your pot roast, making mashed potatoes, or roasting root vegetable add the cassave into the mix! You will hunger for the cassava for the rest of your life!
