mandioca

English

Noun

mandioca (uncountable)

  1. (obsolete) manioc
    • 1863, Henry Walter Bates, The Naturalist on the River Amazons (volume 1, chapter IV)
      There was a kind of festival going on, and the people fuddled themselves with caxirí, an intoxicating drink invented by the Indians. It is made by soaking mandioca cakes in water until fermentation takes place, and tastes like new beer.
