Yucca (aka manioc, breadfruit, cassava, or tapioca) is the starchy carbohydrate that provides the bulk of the calories for poor people between the horse latitudes around the world. ItΥs ground into flour and pounded to a sticky paste. Fermented, it provides an intoxicating beverage. The spherical pellets of yucca starch called tapioca make a great if old-fashioned dessert. At Pambiche, the tuber is fried and tossed with a garlic sauce; the result is sort of like a moist, flavorful plate of home fries, but different and better. Source | |
