A TO Z CHALLLENGE: LETTER T








Some of the things found in the world today actually have been around for quite some time. Here's a look at some food items that have been around since the 1800's.  Did YOU know when these items were created/invented?


tapioca

TAPIOCA: The root of the Cassava plant, when processed into flakes, seeds, or flour, can be used as a thickening agent, for puddings, or for making tapioca bread.

 TEA CAKE: A large, flat and round sweet yeast-raised bun, often containing currants and served with tea during late afternoon.

















Blurb: Addie comes from a long line of readers or "story catchers" as her family likes to call themselves. Every time Addie tries to catch a story on her own the wiggly words play tricks on her. She tries different ways to make those words sit still but it will take a little faith for Addie to become the next STORY CATCHER.

    I haven't had tapioca for a long time. I think people call lots of things teacake that really aren't.

      Hi Susan and welcome to my blog! I am really not a fan of Tapioca and I think you just might be right about the tea cake thing...;~)

    I don't know! i know that the teacake has probably been around a very long time as Bath buns i think are baked in the 1700s. ~Liz http://www.lizbrownleepoet.com
