On balls in the mouth

beetigerI’m having a minor obsession with bubble tea, right now. Sweet and chewy and creamy and complicated and silly-looking, requiring inexpensive but clearly specialized equipment to do it right. I haven’t been able to find someone in Westchester making it, though, and I feel silly taking a trip into Manhattan for, well, a soft drink. I liked Orbitz too, in its day. Somewhere in my files I have a food-scientisty formulation sheet for making roughly that.
However, I don’t like caviar at all. I especially don’t like salmon roe, which to a first approximation looks quite a bit like the tapioca bits in bubble tea. But it’s not chewy, it’s squirty. And you don’t eat it with a straw.
Personal taste is a quirky thing.

It's a Good Thing about being on the West Coast: Bubble Tea everywhere, in hundreds of flavors. At least one place makes ice cream blends with bubbles. Not just American flavors -- sesame-flavored, taro-flavored, and durian-flavored. (I don't care for the last one.) A Very Good Thing.
