In April last year, a nice recipe for Tapioca Pudding with Rhubarb and Raspberry was published in the magazine. Does anyone know where you can buy dried Tapioca these days? The big supermarkets no longer stock it.

Hello Binky
Tapioca is like Marmite - you either love it or loathe it. Personally I'm a big fan of all those old fashioned milk puddings like rice pudding, ground rice, semolina and tapioca.
Round here you can still find it in health food shops but as you say its disappeared from the big shed stores.
Long live frog-spawn pudding!

Agree, local health (independent) shops definitely stock it near me, but is probably twice the price of what it use to be in supermarkets.

Marmite - love it, tapioca I'm afraid I'm on the hate it side.

Hope you find some.

If you really like it (like Pawty I hate it. Never touched it since schooldays - bad memories of Grammar School dinners!), you can get Suma's in 3 kilo bags!

Frog spawn we used to call it when it was served at school dinners and dark brown fish every Friday I still can't work out what it was even after spending most of my life trying to catch sea fish

Stores that stock Indian produce might be a source and should be cheaper than health food outlets.

Wife likes it, I hate it
But then she likes Marmite as well.. yuck

The danger when people start to believe their own publicity is that they often fall off their own ego.
