Ignoring the frog spawn aspect of the tapioca, I expected a sweetened 50:50 mix of milk and green tea to be horrible but it was actually ok. Not something I intend to repeat though.

Last year I bought a bag of semolina flour which I needed for a cake recipe so obviously had a go at making semolina pudding. I quite liked it, especially with a bit of jam swirled in. I made it quite thick so it set firm and could be cut into fingers to eat when cold.

I remember tapoica pudding from when I was young, it was basically the same as tinned rice pudding just different shaped solid bits in a too-sweet milky liquid. I'm also sure we had a runny semolina pudding with prunes in it back in primary school. School dinners were a bit funny back then. Children, being funny (!), we called it 'poos in custard'.
