Area_boy:

That's not abacha!!!

Abacha is smaller and starts off dried. similar to ugba or something like that lol..

I just know this as Tapioca


The one above looks more like abacha


This n d dry ones are both called abacha. They undergo thesame preparation process difference is d sizE of d grater used in cutting it and while dis one is kept in water, d other one is sliced smaller and spread out to dry.

ItsModella: Igbos call it Abacha. The English name is Tapioca.

Tapioca doesn't sound English to me tho', sounds like something of latino/Caribbean origin. Its common in 9ja for us 2 refer to anytin of western or foreign origin as English this & that. E.g Peter, Samuel, Samson, etc are often referred to as English names rather than Hebrew names.
