Hi,

erm ….

meat 50-60% …. rice pudding 40-50% ?

that sounds odd ?

p.s. Tapioca starch – used as a binding agent in paints (yummy)  … in dying clothes (mmm mmm) … glue making … soap … washing powder … dry cell batteries (!!!) … plywood manufacturing … to make paper … (anyone feeling queezy yet) and ……. it yields 95% ethanol for use as fuel !!!

isn’t tapioca a pudding?

[Anonymous]

it can be yes 😉

when mixed with water it forms like a gluey substance – think like gelatin or when you boil rice much too long and it goes all sticky and glue like !

doesnt sound all that great to me (as a pudding or otherwise!)

and it doesnt put you off that they use it to make batteries ??????

[Foxisle_crazy]

Of course not, why would it?  Its not as if tapioca is a by product of the batteries?!?!  Its a natural starch, also called cassava, which is a staple food in a lot of the world

Well the minpins luved these pouches and it didn’t upset their tums, so it’s ok for them to have as a treat once in a while  :ok:
