Either way, I apologize if you find my post offensive. You're acknowledging implications I did not make in material form.

If you don't find it offensive, then good on you.

I thought samosas are supposed to be in a triangular, pyramid-ish shape?

Anyway, that was seriously tragic. I also do agree with Kyuzo about a lot of food in that region do not look as appetising as they should. Actually, those roots remind me of the steamed sweet potatoes that my grandmother used to make albeit in a different colour.

ETA: I think the vendor didn't mean to harm the children. The article said that cassava roots must be cook throughly and she did attempt to do so, maybe just not enough.
