Hey, I resemble that remark!

Squid-eye pudding, my favoritest kind in the whole world! [That would be
the small pearl tapioca, for you anti-tapioca her^H^H^H types.]

Tapioca is a wonderful thing. I have a warm fuzzy memory of Mom and I
deciding to make tapioca cream (from the recipe on the Minute tapioca
box) and then deciding that it looked just like dinner, so we ate it still
warm and straight from the mixing bowl. Mmmmmm. I think a Magnum,
P.I. re-run may have figured into it as well, but it could very well have
been Columbo.

My whole family adores tapioca. Portions are very carefully divided up
absolutely evenly, and retribution is swift and uncompromising for anyone
who dares eat more than their allotted share.

Margaret, who will forgive Adamantius his heretical beliefs as he has
undoubtably been led astray, and besides, there's that much more for the
rest of us
