July 15th is National Tapioca Pudding Day in the United States.

Tapioca pudding is a type of sweet pudding whose primary ingredients are tapioca and either cream or milk. Coconut milk can be used as a substitute for normal milk, and the dish is common, with variations, in many cultures. The consistency can vary from runny all the way through to firm enough to eat with a fork. It can be made from scratch or using packaged mixes. Tapioca pudding has been a common pudding - popular really doesn't qualify, as it is typically hated - in British schools.

Tapioca is an extract of the Manoc plant that was originally native to northern Brazil but has since spread throughout South America and is now cultivated worldwide.

A similar dish is the Philippine sago pudding, which uses sago instead of tapioca.
