Amongst all the lovely desserts we were fed, there were always some that made us gag and probably still make us dry reach at the very thought of them. These were mine........
pink blancmange
A weird dish. What was this all about? Blancmange for the uninitiated is a cold dessert made from milk and sugar thickened with gelatin or cornflour. Typically white, hence the name, but often coloured pink as our school meal dessert was.
sago
Sago comes from various palm stems, its a starch from the pith. A plate of sloppy mess, (that we called frog spawn) served with a blob of jam in the middle. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, yeeeeeeuck !!!!!!!!!! Enough said I think
tapioca
This is often confused with sago; it is similar but is a starch derived from the cassava plant. Which is its raw form is highly toxic
