I love it! Where do you stand? Hugs, Devlyn

I like it as well.
:)

Love it

It's really hard to wash the pot after making it. Rice pudding tastes mostly the same and is easier cleanup. I love tapioca though because it makes me feel grownup and adventurous. I'd only heard of it from Peanuts comics growing up. :)

I liked it when I was younger but it's been quite awhile since I've had any so I'm standing at the crossroads of indecision

Love it, especially in a pudding with the large pearl-type tapioca.

Now, bobas in Thai iced tea  took a little getting used to.

Mum used to make rice pudding. Is that the same?

Nahh, rice pudding is delish... Tapioca is YEAK!!! Like gelled frog-eggs! Brrrr

No like, eish!

"gelled frog-eggs" Now that I think about it, my Dad (rest his soul) always called tapioca pudding "fish-eyes" and wouldn't touch it. Hugs, Devlyn

Fish eyes!  Yep.

I would get freaked out and call it fish eggs.  I ate it every once in a while while I was younger but now....no thank you.

Somewhat bland by itself. But if prepared and baked well, and probably treated more like a rice receipe than it's an absolute YES from me.

It's really one of those all year rounders. Hot and 'custardly' like in winter and blended with tropical fruits (mango, paw paw) , mixed berries, or with apple and nutmeg or rhubarb in summer.

Thanks for the thread Devlyn

Yumm

Anyone like Thai iced tea with boba?  If I'm not mistaken, boba are big tapiocas.

My daughter adores that stuff. On celebratory occasions we go to a cafe we like and she gets a cup of it.

Axelle and Devlyn I told my kid about calling tapioca frog eggs or fish eyes, and she thinks I have the coolest friends ever. ;D

Frog spawn. Haven't had it since school - tasted okay but looked/felt gross as hell.

We called it "Frogs Eggs" too. :laugh:  Definitely a bit bland by itself, but not bad with fruit or in a Rice Pudding type recipe.

Karen.

I like tapioca pudding better than rice pudding, or plain vanilla pudding.

Ugh.

*shudders*

It reminds me of the substance teenagers with acne squeeze out of their face.

You mean something other than jibber jabber comes out of their faces? Hugs, Devlyn

I love squeezing zits. I have them more as an adult than I did as a teenager. Anyway the boba tapioca is black, not sebum or pus-colored. Ever use lanolin for anything? Comes out of sheep pores. ;D

Felix, we may need to consider banning you from the Food section! Hugs, Devlyn

LOVE IT!

Didn't know sheep had paws, learn something everyday

Not so sure about it elsewhere though!

I like a milk tea made with black tea and sweetened condensed milk.  I remember what you mention as being called "pearl tea."  Does that seem right?

That's right. Pearl milk tea.  There are other variants - taro, etc but I like pearl milk tea best.

I just found out less than a year ago that taro and elephant ears are the same thing. Blew my mind.

Do you know why elephants have round feet?

So they can walk across ponds on the lily pads.

You almost made me choke on my expensive moving-night beer (Rogue Mocha Porter, yay). I'm listening to KMFDM and drowning in absurdity.

I'm making great progress, btw. My house is becoming less a forest of boxes and more a city of boxes.

To stay on topic - tapioca tapioca. I don't love it or hate it. I do still find it pretty novel.

How can you tell an elephant has been in your refrigerator?

It left footprints in the tapioca pudding.

How can you tell elephants have been making love in your yard?

There's garbage all over the place and the trashcan liner is missing.

I've heard of Rogue. It's a micro-b in Oregon, I think.

I used to drink Henry Weinhard's from Portland when the bottling numbers actually meant something.  That was in the early 80's.

Henry Weinhard's from what I understand share breweries these days with another local (or local-ish) beer company, but I forget who. They have an interesting history, and their stuff is actually imo really good for the price.

I like Rogue a lot but they're not even in my top few favorites. Their stuff is pretty expensive and has labels more interesting than the liquid in the bottles. The best across-the-board (not counting one-offs or cool specialties) local breweries in my (inexpert) opinion are Deschutes and Bridgeport.

Henry Weinhards was brewed in Portland by Blitz-Weinhard Brewry.

In 1979 they were bought by Pabst
In 1996 they were bought by Strohs
In 1999 they were bought by Miller; the Portland brewery was closed and production moved to Olympia in Tumwater, WA

I like the Weinhard soft drinks, whose recipes were used during Prohibition.

Their root beer is pretty special. :)
