Cassava Pudding

Short description: This root-crop pudding is dense, coconut-rich, and usually cut into portions once it firms up.
Ingredients: Grated cassava mixed with coconut milk, sweet potato, sugar or salt, and sometimes cooked in leaves.
Cultural note: It is associated with island gatherings where local roots and coconut are baked, steamed, or shared with seafood.
Common misconception: The word pudding here does not mean a soft custard; it is closer to a firm grated-root cake.
