I have fond memories of my mother serving (5 kids) home made tapioca pudding once or twice a week. I tried Cozy Shack and the flavor was good and kind of close but the density of the tapioca was maybe 20% of what I remember. It's pretty much regular vanilla pudding.

As an aside I was surprised to discover that the pearls or "boba" in bubble tea are actually the starchy part of tapioca soaked in sugar syrup to make them sweet and chewy.

I had Bubble Tea for the first time while visiting my daughter during the Holidays. I just felt like I was chewing on tadpoles.

Having an English grandmother, I grew up with steamed fruitcake, mince pies, and this year, Figgy Pudding. After Christmas dinner we realized we forgot to make the popovers to accompany our roast beef. Very disappointed.
