Yes they’re chips, but this indulgence is with a hot and spicy addition.  If you’ve never heard of, or tasted cassava, then imagine a potato like substance and sensation but add in a subtle extra sweet flavour of the tropics. Native to South America, tapioca must be cooked well before consumption! We wouldn’t recommend these with beans and chips, but restaurants may serve them  as a side order or accompaniment to the main course. But a word of caution – cyanide believe it or not is present in raw cassava, so should always be thoroughly boiled or deep-fried to remove any toxins. Try them and tell us what you think!

Welsh Rarebit on the Patio

With St. David’s Day festivities just around the corner, it seemed appropriate to focus attention on foods and dishes that are associated with Wales. As a Welsh and Bangladeshi based company, celebrating the traditional Welsh dishes we can create from our stock (with a few exotic additions,) seems the best way to pay tribute.
