lol@ Freedom Fries.. what a bizarre moment in American history THAT was. I like my fries French. Most of us don't need any extra 'freedom' in our guts... :wtf: I'll have a glass of prune juice for that thx... eww. Reminds me of the Olestra fad.

Never tried manioc root. I just might have to scoot across town to the world market and pick some up. Is it prepped exactly like FF? (cut and twice-fried?) Or is there a secret? I'm on a fried rutabaga kick ever since a place opened in town that has essentially a Yankee tapas bar menu- simple finger food, cheap, featuring lots of root vegetables and coarse breads. Yum yum.

On this list, that makes 2 delicious plants that happen to resemble pot! Cool.
