this is a picture of mandioca...
Manioc, also known as yuca or cassava in Central America and the U.S., is a white starchy tuber with a delicate taste (many people I know say that fried manioc beats French fries anytime). It has been a staple of the Brazilian Indians' diet for centuries, and it is from their language, Tupi, that we have the names mandioca (madi'og) in Southern Brazil and aipim(ai'pi) in Rio de Janeiro for the root and tapioca (tipi'og) for its starch.

What is a recipe from Paraguay?
This isn't a recipe but i know a few foods from Paraguay:Traditional FoodsMandioca - otherwise known as yucca - is the most common food found on tables all over Paraguay. And it's not just in the rural areas. It's eaten at nearly every meal, 365 days a year; most Paraguayans would not eat anything without it. Mandioca is similar to a potato; it's a root vegetable, 100% starch. It's filling and best eaten hot. In many countries it is fried, however, in Paraguay, it is simply peeled then boiled - no seasoning whatsoever, not even salt.Chipa is another very traditional food - shaped like bagels, they are made from Mandioca flour (freshly ground), corn meal, Paraguayan cheese, eggs, pig fat/butter, anise. It is traditionally baked in a tatakua (Guaraní for brick oven) - that is dome shaped and heated using fire, the fire is then removed, the food is placed inside and the two openings are closed. The brick oven retains the heat and the food is cooked very quickly. It is best served hot, it becomes hard when cooled.Another national food - Sopa Paraguaya. Sopa in Spanish is soup, but Sopa Paraguaya is a corn bread made from fresh ground corn meal, eggs, pig fat, butter or salt and Paraguayan fresh cheeseChipa Guazu (big chipa) is another popular food, very similar to Sopa Paraguaya. The difference is the texture; Chipa Guazu is "mushier" due to the corn being only slightly milled (to the texture of creamed corn, rather than corn flour used in Sopa). It is quite popular during the corn harvest as it realy only requires eggs and cheese.
