Yep - a brisk boil ala tatties then mash with milk, garlic and the juice of a lime.

It was quite nice but not sure I'll bother again.

WSS.

Could be toxic. I bought some recently and made chips out of them.

Ah right. It's where tapioca comes from.

I'm going to give one of these a go and I'll let you know how I get on.

Just bought a cassava in Asda's

Then I must have misread the label, I've got a rather large root vegetable in the kitchen.

Aren't cassavas an endangered species? Anyway, I didn't think Asda would be allowed to sell bush meat!
