Kasav (cassava bread)

In Haiti, cassava bread is less moist like bread and more dry like a cracker.

Usually eaten with peanut butter, preferably Haiti-made with a pepper punch is a symbol of national identity rooted in the country’s African and indigenous history that began long before the arrival of Christopher Columbus and the Spaniards, before French buccaneers established a settlement on Île de la Tortue, the pirates’ lair off the country’s northwest coast, in 1625, and long before enslaved Africans rebelled to create the world’s first Black republic in 1804.
