I went to Asda last night and saw that a 375g box of Tapioca was only 8p so I decided to buy one. The only trouble is I don't really know what to make with it. Any ideas?

    I got 4 boxes in the store cupboard for the winter.

    I went to the whitworths site and found this

    Hope it helps.

    We had it as a milk pudding at school ;)

    Take a look here - sago and tapioca.

    Delicious milk pudding with a dab of jam in the middle a~la school dinners but less stodgy.
    When I have my dinner I either have a starters of soup followed by main course, or a main course followed by a pudding It helps to streeeetch the meal a bit more, as two courses always seems to fill me up.
    makes a smaller dinner seem to be more IYKWIM

    I remember tapioca too, I think I could only eat it now if it wasnt just a milk pudding, ie make it unrecognisable lol

    I've been doing the rounds looking for that tapioca - Sainsburys and Tesco are too small to have much of a range (no tapioca), Iceland and Somerfield should have it - but nope. That was that idea then....darn it....was fancying my tapioca. Havent had it for some time ....the tapioca folks before you all start giggling LOL (mind you.................)

    Hi,

    Just done my online Asda shop and noticed they're selling Whitworth Tapioca (375g) for just 6p a pack!

    OH loves tapioca, semolina, etc. - real 'nursery' food :D

    Haven't a clue :D as I've only ever bought it in tins in the past. But I'm hoping that you just cook it the same as rice pudding.

    Better do a search for some recipes.........this could be interesting:rotfl:
