Jamaican Bammy is loved by the pickiest of eaters. Well, bammy a 4/12 to 5 inch diameter cake that is made from the cassava root, also called Manioc in the Latin American countries, can be prepared in a variety of ways for human consumption. One must be very careful though at trying to make bammy from this root vegetable. The reason is, some cassavas are poisonous and choosing the right variety to make bammy will take some training from the experts. I strongly recommend buying the already made bammies from your local Jamaican grocery store. A Jamaican flatbread that is very similar to a pancake.
