Comment

[edit]

I'm putting this here for the time being: In addition to Kashele, Surinamers partake of [[rum]], [[cognac]] and the locally-produced [[Parbo beer]] (named after the capital city [[Paramaribo]] also known as Parbo), as well as French wines, [[Coca-Cola]] and [[Stroop]], a sugary syrup in different flavors to which water is added (similar to Kool-Aid).<ref>''Suriname'' by Carolyn ProctorJetsetters magazine http://www.jetsettersmagazine.com/archive/jetezine/globe02/samerica/suriname/switi/switi.html</ref>

Spelling Comment (removed from article and placed here)

[edit]

This word is erronously spelt.It should be spelt KASHELE - just the way Macushi and other Cariban languages pronounce it. Also the information of the process is unforunately misinform - eg - this drink is not made from leaves of cassava. lastly this drink would not make any one drunk as other drink that are made

  • Nevertheless, in references cited (nos. 1 and 3), the spelling is "kasiri" and not "kashele." I changed the edited citations back to the spelling which matches the language in the citations. Please cite references for the alternative spelling "kashele." Geoff Who, me? 20:52, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Other Countries?

[edit]

Over 20 years ago I witnessed Tsimane native women in Bolivia making an alcholic drink after chewing and spitting out yucca.

I don't think this is only Suriname, Guyana and Brazil.209.195.75.170 (talk) 11:03, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
