Tapioca/cassava flour is readily available in Asian markets around here
(ABQ), as is the (sweet) cassava root. It was just as readily available
in Asian markets in San Diego when I lived there and in Cleveland when I
lived there and in the NYC area when I lived there. New Hampshire was
problematic (semi-rural area and no Asian markets) and when we lived in
Florida, I was too young to be cooking so never looked in an Asian
market.
