Sago?

[Mango04]

I keep seeing this really yummy looking pudding type stuff made with Sago. It looks a lot like tapioca pudding and I believe it's dairy, gluten and soy-free. Has anyone ever tried this stuff? I'm thinking it's not so common in the states, b/c I've never seen it there. Just wondering if it's worth trying....

Sago is a big thing in Asian desserts

I tried it a few months ago and didn't really like the texture, maybe I cooked it wrong?

No harm in giving it a go - it's cheap to buy (in Coles, where the cooking stuff is I think)

Oh okay thanks. I've seen it at a couple health food stores too in pudding form (sort of . I was always a bit embarassed to ask someone in the store what sago was LOL and I just never got around to looking it up. Maybe I'll give it a try

It is yummy and so easy to make. I eat it for breakfast. It must be a kiwi, aussie dessert.

Sago comes from a palm tree, so it is completely different to tapioca

I would suggest you try half the recipe, as the full recipe is such a lot if you do not like it.

here is a recipe, from my sister

Lemon Sago (Liz's)

1 cup sago

4 cups warm water

1/3 cup sugar

Rind and juice of 2 lemons

2 tbspoons golden syrup

Boil and cook until sago is clear, about 15 minutes. Keep stirring.

My mother used sago quite a lot, as kids we called it 'fish eyes' Germans like it, apparently (I guess I am too weird to be your regular German ).
