More Brazilian Food

Maniçoba is a stew based on a leaf that must be cooked for one week
(!) to remove a highly posionous substance. I tried that the day
before yesterday, but it was too salty.

I had Tacaca again last night, which was awesome. It's a soup
consisting of ransparent goo that looks like wheatpaste, with broth,
boiled green veggies, and salty little shrimps on top. I think the
goo and the broth are both made of Yucca.
