As Mrs D is self isolating to keep her and her newborn baby safe she needed some shopping delivered. I checked Mrs D's shopping list to see what she needed: some white yam, some yellow and green plaintain, some cassava and some pounded yam (pink one). The last item threw me as pounded yam is usually kinda of creamy white as it's yam that been pounded into a flour, so I gave her a call to double check. From Mrs D's description it was actually coco, a kind of brown root vegetable- see the photo! I managed to pick up everything on the list, stagger along (it was way too heavy to run) and Mrs D was really pleased with the delivery.
