I jess doh know cassareep di'ze all

cassava and salt fish! 

Cassareep is made from the juice of the bitter Cassava root, which is poisonous

it contains large amounts hydrogen cyanide traditionally called "prussic acid"

and blamed for many deaths if it is not cooked properly.

The acid is volatile and quickly dissipates when heated.

Amerindians from Guyana reportedly made an antidote by steeping peppers in Rum!  :cool:

The juice is then boiled until it is reduced by half in volume to the consistency of

molasses and flavored with cloves,cinnamon,salt,sugar and cayenne pepper !

Legend has it that there was a 100 year old Dish ......yummmm  ::

Maps, the Amerindians have no use for toilets.  They do their business in the bush near the houses.  The pigs have a feast ...


People take their baby pigs out into the savannahs and loose them there, then go back months after when they are grown, bring them back to the village to sell.

house pigs are also full of jiggers.
