Haha, just read this without looking closely and saw someone liked sago the same ways I do.
I have a new one which the kids are enjoying at the moment.
Sago cooked in orange juice, passionfruit, water and a little sugar if needed.
Passionfruit season is here.Yahoo.

tapioca (the real stuff) makes the most fantastic hot chips :)

From the online Edmonds link that marcs posted.
Sago Pudding (Without Eggs).
Stir sufficient sago in boiling water, let boil 15 minutes, then drain water off, stir into the sago a cupful of milk and dessertspoonful sugar; make custard (see direction for Custard, page 41), pour the stewed sago into a dish, mix well with the custard while hot. Grate nutmeg on top; bake as usual.
SInce you've re-raised the subject of urine, I heard on Country Calendar this evening that your cows are poisoning Mother Earth.The nitrogen from their urine goes down 50 metres and leaches into the aquifer.No amount of fencing off the waterways or planting to stop run-off will help.
You have to reduce the number of cattle bred for eating.those poor wretched Paleos will starve ;-)

i soak my sago or tapioka in milk a few hours before cooking in the microvave. No need to turn the oven on.

Just shows the difference between factory farming and overstocking and having a few animals in the orchard aye!

Not to mention that most hill country hasn't got "aquifers" anyway.
I would say that roadside spraying of ditches with dangerous chemicals does more harm to our waterways than the occasional animal in a good system on a permaculture farm :)

This thread is actually about Sago and Tapioca - being a stickler for staying on topic tell us your favourite recipe.

We got served this slimy, tasteless slop (sago or tapioca) for school dinners back in the UK in the 60s and 70s.It was vile - I don't think I could even bring myself to buy it now.On the whole the meals were pretty bad but this was the worst - whichever one is the bigger was called frog spawn but to be fair I think actual frog spawn would be tastier.

Me too but Birds custard powder (not the instant stuff) - my mum used to work for them and although I can make custard properly I actually prefer the Birds one - I suppose it's a happy taste memory from my childhood.

Well here is a lovely recipe I make in spring when we have raspberries and blackberries: I boil them with a bit of sugar (the evil ingredient) and then I add very fine pearl sago - the frog spawn. Once the spawn is translucent the mass gets poured into small cups or any other moulds you want to use and fridged. Then served with a warm vanilla sauce. Always a hit - since I first ate it in my childhood.

Yup its intensity that does it. You are wrong about the Aquifers though Uli, Elliehen was talking about Taupo region which has a thick coating of Pumicite which filters solids but Nitrates passes straight through same with minerals the land was always poor because it didn't hold minerals. So couldn't be farmed until you could topdress regularly. So even the hills have or at least feed aquifers in that area.

I gave you a recipe last year at post #36.
You bumped a year-old thread at #42 and I have hunted up and down the thread for your recipe and can't find one from last year OR this year!
Edited to add:Oh good, saved by the bell.you just realised and hastily posted at #51.Good girl!

Yeah well - I was thinking of Northland hills - certainly no aquifers here - otherwise we wouldn't have this drought LOL - everybody would be drilling wells .

I'm surprised that you get raspberries & blackberries in spring .down here they are summer(raspberries) & autumn yielding.

Maybe confusing northern and southern hemisphere springs - spring in NZ would be autumn in the northern hemisphere.
I just can't think why you'd want to spoil fresh berries with sago *bleurk* - just brings back memories of everything that was wrong with school dinners.

If you ever try it with FINE pearl sago - (not the 1cm diameter stuff!) - you might be pleasantly surprised. Much nicer texture than just using starch.
