Thanks Grace for the tapioca recipe w/tofu. I am always looking for new ways to incorporate tofu into my diet, especially for recipes where you can not tast the tofu. I don't know if I will ever acquire a taste for it.

You know, I was just looking at this recipe, and I think I've avoided trying it because of the tofu (I don't think I'll ever acquire a taste for it either!). But I would imagine you could leave the tofu out, since tapioca is a thickener, and the eggs and milk are how you make custard, and I don't believe that the tofu would be the key ingredient in making it thick. I may try this and leave the tofu out......just an idea!

I did a search of the bulletin board for Tapioca Pudding, since I wasn't interested in the recipe from Cooking Light with tofu.

Grace - did you ever make this, and did you use the tofu? If so, how did it turn out?
