I went to the market this morning and bought some from a Guyanese vendor. I was so excited to eat it that I did not even wait to get home, I started to eat it in the car.
I bit in to the cassava ball only to find myself having to bite down hard, then I had to tear the piece in my hand away from my mouth. Strange I thought. I continued to chew. The thing was chewy! I swallowed, it had no taste, it was bland. I decided to carefully examine the remaining piece of bitten "cassava ball". As I pulled it apart, it stretched like dough! The cassava ball was made with flour! and a hint of cassava!
I wanted to show you all so I took some close-up pics. Pay attention to the texture. I used a serrated knife to saw through the cassava ball! (LOL)

Ah ha ha ha ha - I'm not laughing at you, just at the situation. I can imagine your disappointment. Get somebody to send you some cassava balls man.
Maybe de lady ain't know how to make cassava balls.
There is no excuse that is acceptable when you are looking for a taste of home.
great site!
i made cassava balls with leftover mashed potatoes and mashed cassava with loads of butter, the result was simply divine! i do know about the candlewax sort you bought.. every guyanese person has experienced that at some point.
