Because food 'fashions' change!

Here you go - from my 1955 edition
1 breakfastcup Cooked Rice or Sago
2 Eggs
Pinch of Salt
4 tablespoons Sugar
2 breakfast cups Milk
Beat eggs & salt a little, add sugar then milk. Put rice or sago in a buttered pie-dish, and pour over the egg mixture. Bake slowly until set. Stand pie-dish in a dish of water in oven. Bake at 325 degF. until custard sets.

Us too - sago, tapioca - both delicious - usually buy from supermarket - then found some in an Asian foodmarket in Hamilton recently.

#1 - search for tapioca or sago using the left search function - there are recipes here.

There is a cafe/restaurant Bean Cafe in Palmerston North that serves bubble tea. This has tapioca in the bottom of the fruit tea drink and you drink with the straws with larger size for the tapioca to go up the straw.
