Muy buena tu publicación, soy venezolano y el casabe se ha convertido en un excelente sustituto del pan. En mi caso vivo en zona costera, específicamente en Carúpano, Edo. Sucre, y en nuestro caso el casabe junto a la Sardina han sido el plato predilecto en medio de la crisis que estamos atravesando.
Gracias, yo también soy Venezolana y vivo en Puerto la cruz. Es cierto el cazabe en una gran alternativa diaria y no solo de consumo ocasional cono era antes. Muy pocas personas en las ciudades grandes consumían cazabe y muchos jóvenes desconocían su existencia. Hoy es un alimento muy común en la mayoría de los hogares venezolanos.
