Tapioca, rice pudding, semolina and custard are all good, in different ways.

Oh and I love the fact American schoolchildren apparently have a different nickname for it than British schoolchildren do!

Bubble tea is, indeed, among the better beverages yet invented.

I admit that I once had disappointing bubble tea: it was at a cafe in Lubeck which I suspect had heard of bubble-tea only vaguely and third-hand and was the only place in Lubeck willing to try making it, and they had neglected to pre-cook the tapioca. One of the few restaurant drinks I've had to abandon ...
