Tapioca Pudding Recipe
Old Fashioned Pudding Recipe Is Comfort Food
A Tapioca Pudding Recipe was one of the first dessert recipes my mother taught me as a small child. I think one of the reasons she taught me how to make Tapioca was because I loved it so much and I was always pestering her to make it more often. The other reason, I'm sure, is that the recipe is so easy.
Tapioca Pudding is a real comfort food for many people.
This was the pudding our mothers and grandmothers made for us. We simply did not buy the instant, heavily sugared, puddings that dominate grocery store shelves like today. I will say, however, that this dessert will not be something for people on low-carb diets. It is almost all starch and our bodies turn starch into sugar.
On occasion, especially when the restaurant special sheet is featuring some old fashioned dinner specials, Tapioca Pudding is offered as a dessert choice. The Baby-Boomers enjoy it. The younger crowd hardly knows what it is. You simply do not see too many people making Tapioca Pudding anymore.
But for us "more mature" individuals, it remains a comfort food, reminding us of fond memories from "the old days."
