Ok was out for dinner tonight and was looked upon with horror that I ordered tapioca pudding. Apparently I am in the minority for liking it. Where do you stand?

I love tapioca pudding!  ;D

When I was a little girl my grand-father used to give me some all the time... great memories!!!
I vaguely remember a bright pink can, I have not had that in while...

mmmmmmm

Well...
According to Wikipedia
"Tapioca is essentially a flavorless starchy ingredient, or fecula, produced from treated and dried cassava (manioc) root and used in cooking"

It won't hurt, you should try it, it is always good to overcome a fear....  ;D
The little balls roll in your month, it makes a very wierd texture... it is fun

I would eat the keys I'm typing on before that dish.  But hey, to each his own right?

Rice pudding brings back memories of visiting my Aunt in England, she made homemade rice pudding.

My Dad used to freak out the grandkids by putting a little green food colouring in his tapioca and tell them it was frog eggs from the pond out back.

Can take or leave tapioca pudding, but LOVE rice pudding - in spite of being a bit of a food slut, enjoying all things foodie, I can't manage to make a decent rice pudding.

Factoid:  the little lumpies in "bubble tea" (a.k.a "pearl tea" in Canada's other official language) are tapioca.

Ordered it?  I don't think I have ever seen tapioca pudding on a restaurant menu, of course I shouldn't expect to see it when the menus are usually nailed to the wall above the 13 year old kid wearing a paper hat.

I'd eat it, but then again I would eat pretty much anything.

Tapioca pudding, rice pudding, bread pudding.....all great....grew up on them......(gulp....maybe that's why I never really grew up that far.... : )

Tapioca pudding is awesome, although being Chinese I'm sure the version I know (not so much "pudding" but more of a sweet milk "soup") is a little different than the ones being discussed here.

Rice pudding with cinnamon takes me on a trip to heaven and back.

Don't ever order Chinese bubble tea, then.  ;D

Tapioca...mmmmm

I love rice pudding and I make a mean bread pudding as well!

Only thing I haven't perfected yet is a vanilla sauce to go with it.  But I will eventually.

I love rice pudding.  Deeeeelicious!

Tapioca on the other hand (including Bubble Tea) makes me throw up in my mouth a little.
