My brother-in-law who is often in Costa Rica sent this photo of fried yucca stuffed with cheese from a McDonald's restaurant in Costa Rica. I would try these for sure. Yucca is another name for cassava.
Well you live and learn, especially in blogland, which is why I like it so much.
I hadn't heard of Cassava and had to look it up.
"Also known as manioc or yuca, cassava is a root vegetable native to Central and South America, and popular throughout the tropics, where it’s used in many of the same ways as the potato. There are two main varieties: bitter and sweet. The former is toxic, and must be treated before consumption, whereas the more watery sweet cassava can be eaten raw. In Britain, cassava is mostly found in the form of tapioca pearls, made from cassava flour."
Well now that is different but I also just learned that SPAM is big on the menu in McDonalds in Hawaii.
ReplyDeletehi Christine i have never heard of these but they look yummy xx
ReplyDeleteSometimes in Poland we have god similar items.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very good. We doN't have a McD in our little town. Have a great week, Valerie
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see how McDonald's comes up with different dishes based on the country they're in... 🙂
ReplyDeleteWonder what they taste like.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
That's unique
ReplyDeleteHow McDonald's can mess about with food!
ReplyDeleteTotally different! I'd try them, too.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen cassava. I'm not sure I'd try these; my daughter would though. She's a big cheese fan.
ReplyDeleteI like cassava crisps so these might be nice too.
ReplyDeleteI can't help but think of Yucca treese in our southwest deserts. hmm... I need to look into this.
ReplyDeleteI think I would try these too...wonder if they taste like french fries, or chicken nuggets.....
ReplyDeleteAnything with cheese has to be good :-)
ReplyDeletecassava is actually a different from yucca, but similar so are often confused for each other
