Cooking in Guyana.....Casseri



Rachael, another PCV is drinking a traditional Amerindian drink Cassiri.  It is made by chewing Cassava and then letting it ferment.  The cassava is brought in to the villages from farms that can be a 2 hour walk away.  It is custom for hosts to bring out a bowl of Cassiri or yam drink to visitors.  The longer they want you to stay, the larger the bowl they give you.
