It’s National Tapioca Pudding Day! In the late 19th century, a Boston landlady named Susan Stavers served a sailor some tapioca pudding. He complained about it. South Seas tapioca was much better than the coarse, lumpy stuff Stavers served, he said. Her tapioca wasn’t worse than most American pudding at the time. But she took the sailor’s complaint to heart. (Or so the story goes.) Tapioca results from processing a plant called manioc (also known as cassava), found in Brazil, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Susan Stavers decided to put cheap manioc roots through her coffee grinder. Her neighbors liked the pudding it made, and she started going door-to-door selling her tapioca in brown paper bags. #NationalTapiocaPuddingDay #TapiocaPudding #FoodConsultant #FoodService #FoodServiceSolutions #FoodSales #Food #FoodDude #WeKnowFood #FoodOfTheDay #NobertSales @NobertSales (at Germantown, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgCF3IuAuCl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
