Boba

I read up on "Boba" tea drinks to make sure it was not using animal products and find it uses carrageenan from seaweed and tapioca from a root. Anyone eat Boba and like it? Boba is becoming pretty popular and was glad to find it seems to be vegan.

Well I had to search the word myself as I never heard of it either.

But now I do know that I went with a Lady friend to an Oriental Restaraunt and she got me one of those fruit type drinks with the balls floating in the bottom, and I assumed it was gelatin like Jello and I refused to drink it.

Now I see what it is an I will have it again. I do remember trying it and it tasted fine but my thoughts of gelatin is the only thing that made me resist it.

So now I like it - if I ever get back to an Oriental place?
