Muhogo wa Nazi as it is know in Kiswahili is a popular dish in the coastal region due to the easy growing nature of the roots and fitting climate. I personally have fond memories of going into the farm with my grandmother to dig up cassavas which we would then clean while chewing on huge pieces of the white roots. From their on, she would peel, split, chop and wash the cassava while 'someone' had to grate the coconuts on the mbuzi; a grater. One of the interesting parts was usually watching the farmhand shimmy his way up one of the tall coconut trees with his sharp knife held between his teeth (he would have made a good pirate).
