Goodness, tons of responses!

Metro is right- it is the African eggplant. It is frankly sour, bitter and tangy to say the least. Usually it is boiled until you can easily cut it with a spoon. It is definitely an acquired taste. Most westerns don't like it. Myself, I gladly eat any veggies I can get a hold of.

Braveheart is right- it is also called yucca or cassava. There are roughly two types that are eaten here. There is the 'commerical' variety that is grown through cuttings and a wild variety that is collected in the forest.

I left my camera in the village... gotta bike out to get it.

Here is one dated picture of a garden that I do a little work in. More pictures are on the way.
