Wow, that is sad

But they look so delicious.

If that was supposed to be funny, it's not.

Poor kids.

"The root of this plant, eaten as a staple food in the tropics only after leaching and drying to remove cyanide. Cassava starch is also the source of tapioca."

*note to self: dont eat cyanide laced plants, no matter how many carbohydrates they have*

Bad joke, Dyne.... I visited the Philippines a couple of times for Family... but believe it or not, the food there doesn't look too appealing but they taste good. Especially to natives of the Philippines. I know a lot of filipino's who'd be offended by your post just now.

*prays for victims*

That post was in no way made to be offensive. They do look delicious but I from the looks of it, I don't see how they could be deadly. They almost look like Samosas, which are a great indian fingerfood. That is the best picture I could find of this particular dish; otherwise all the pictures are of the actual roots.

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.
