Bubble Tea and Tapioca

I am not sure how long this has been around, but considering how out of the loop I generally am, I’m sure it must be quite a popular product and al of you know about it.

Anyhow I have had it about thrice now and I find it good. Nothign addictive but good. What I need to know is what exactly is tapioca? I was searching online and this website showed pictures of fish and now i am holding back my puke and holding on to my bubble tea till I verify what the hell tapioca is.

p.s. this green tea flavour isn;t all that good.

Re: Bubble Tea and Tapioca

Seems like a plant, not a fish.

Re: Bubble Tea and Tapioca

Nope.

Re: Bubble Tea and Tapioca

I usually have the tea and use the Tapioca as pellets.And boy can they hurt a person!

FF, you know what I like about you the most? Your kindness in face of existential redundance.

Re: Bubble Tea and Tapioca

Well thank God its a plant. I thought it had something to do with fish and felt all yucky. This green tea flavour is , Oh My Lord, so gross. I am spilling it.

Re: Bubble Tea and Tapioca

tapioca pudding is tasty.

Re: Bubble Tea and Tapioca

Femme ignore these people. The girls and I went to some Asian resteraunt and they were serving this, so I got some. NEVER order someone because someone says its "good". Let the others order it - try a little, and then spend your cash!

Anyway.

Tapioca is actually a plant root, from what those store people told me. Its not fish or fish's balls.

Re: Bubble Tea and Tapioca

I agree with queer, tapioca is sagudana. It is used very commonly in Pakistan.

Re: Bubble Tea and Tapioca

Sagudana. Hmmm. Sounds like something I may have heard from my daadi, God bless her soul.

PCG spend my cash? :hehe: My friend was paying for it anyway. No matter how much I insist or threaten to never allow him to buy me anything he doesn;t let me pay :halo:

Tapioca pudding. Maybe that is how the restuarant ppl get their rice pudding so yum and brown, by adding tapioca. hmmmm.

Re: Bubble Tea and Tapioca

I had bubble tea for the first time yesterday... I liked it, although I didn't eat up all the tapioca. Yes, tapioca is made from the root of the cassava/yuca plant. The tapioca in the bubble tea was dark brown, but the one my mom always used is the white one. Have you never had cassava chips? They are delish. I also make sagudana khichri and aloo/sagudana cutlets. And you also get these colourful sagudana papads, you're sposed to deep fry them.

I have never tasted tapioca pudding, do you like it? My mom used to make some sort of sagudana gruel type of thing when I was sick as a kid and so I ended up associating sagudana pudding/gruel with illness.

Re: Bubble Tea and Tapioca

Thats what my mum said that sagudana is white. Maybe they are cousins or half siblings or something,
