My first thoughts were Fish? Maggots? Then I zoomed in. Carrots? Then I had an aha moment. I had read how cassava is poisonous until you’ve soaked it for a few days.

Although I saw them live, it took me a while to realize that it was in fact cassava being soaked. Cheers

This cassava is already pealed. The soaking of “non pealed” cassava is also commonly done in “muddy areas”, normally around small streams or springs. That’s how they do it in parts of Central Angola (Camacupa region)
