Casabe: a flat Dominican bread made of cassava (a.k.a. yuca) flour. Featured above.
Yuca: A tropical root vegetable common in Dominican cooking. Kind of tastes like a potato.....but gummier? So hard to describe! Featured above.
BTW: this was my Dominican meal for the night. I bought it at a roadside "parilla" or grill and took the leftovers to finish at home (I didn´t want to stay late and be caught out after dark, which can be a sketchy situation when you are by yourself). So actually, this is just half of my meal, the other half I finished at the restaurant. For 200 pesos, about 5 dollars, I was able to get a side of casabe, a side of yuca, and a large pincho (kebab). Of course the wine is separate, and my only drinking vessel was a mug, but it was still tasty)
