You guys crack me up. YUKA is a plant. It has many many uses.
The whole plant just about can be put to use. They make Soap, booze, food, rope,
baskets, needles and more... I make use of the dead stalk and build fires with
it... GRIN! By the way if you guys want a soda... we call it a coke!
Your tallywaker may differ from mine! GRIN!

Thanks fer the humor! I needed it!
What I learned at the Camporama last time is
that people from different parts of the country have different names for
things. Some kid came up to me at the Camporama and asked me if I
knew what a Tallywhacker was? I looked at him funny. I asked him where
he was from and he told me Northern Missouri. Well, I'm from the Washington DC
area and I have never heard the term used before, so I had to ask the kid
"what is a Tallywhacker?" He told me it was a term used for a soldier fighting
the Taliban. Now If I was to go back up to Boston, where I started out
in this world, for instance, and request a soda or a soda pop at a
restaurant or something they would look at me funny because they don't call it
that in Boston. They call it "tonic" Now here in the DC area, a "tonic"
is something that you use for hair care and/or can be a slang term for an
alcoholic beverage or a medicine.
I think that this is one of
those instances of where you have to learn the un-abridged dictionary by
osmosis (sleeping on it)
Manuel,
i Hola hermano !
You should try the yucca as a French fry
sometime. It's an experience. We gave some to the Bolivians when I was
there and they liked them. They didn't understand them, but they liked
them.
We just told them it was an American/Canadian
thing.

Mike;
You're not the only one confused. And you're right, as I
understand "Yuca" is a a root that is similar to the potato. I've eaten it,
but not in the form of french fries. Probably Mark knows it as a kind of
wood of something of that nature.

Mark,
When
you say Yuka, is that the same Yuka that is a root and similar to
a
potato? I'm just not understanding at the moment. We used to have
Yuka all
the time in South America. We would cook them like french
fries and they
weren't bad. Almost taste like Wendy's french
fries.
