At first I thought this was just cheese on a stick.
As much as I love cheese, there are more interesting things to try.
Then the man told me it was NOT just cheese on a stick.
This is cheese and YUCA on a stick.
When I was in Nicaragua, I discovered yuca for the first time and decided this starch is so much tastier than potatoes.
I had every intention of eating just half of this because, well, that’s a LOT of cheese. But I couldn’t stop myself. It is a good thing I am leaving Tarija, or I would be eating cheese and yuca on a stick everyday!

I don’t think I have ever tried yuca. Sounds interesting.

It’s the best! I had my first yuca in Panama I think. It’s like a more flavorful potato.

I’m all about yuca. It changed our lives! But serious – yuca chips are much better than potato AND I love yuca bread (with cheese).

I’ve never had yuca chips or bread. Hopefully, I’ll run across that in my travels soon!

Someone just posted on my Facebook page that they have Brazilian grilled cheese on a stick on all the beaches, and it’s fantastic. You must find some!

I’m glad I found it but also glad I left right after… probably not the healthiest thing to eat every day

I had never heard about Yuca but now after reading and seeing photos of Yuca, I am very exited to test it. Thanks for adding one more dish in my list.

I had never heard about Yuca. Nice to hear that Yuca tastes better than potatoes. I will try if I get a chance. Thanks for the share.

Much more flavor that potatoes.

I haven’t eating Yuca yet I will definitely love to eat this one since I love cheese. For sure I will have a good time eating this one.

And I thought it’s a cheese on stick too! Yuca looks like the same with the use for shawarma.. I haven’t taste this, not even see it in the market. I love to try this too!

I am quite depress right now and I think Yuka is perfect to eat.
