DeadFatDuckFat posted:I'm nervous about your opinion on cheese foam boba the cheese foam rules but it's hardly ever paired with pearls unless americans are getting cheeky with it. heytea's strawberry salted cheese drink rules. It's like drinking a strawberry cheesecake. they're all pretty old hat now tho. fun fact: boba is a p much exclusively north american term for the drink (some parts of taiwan do use it to be fair) but "boba" actually just means huge breasts in most of the sinosphere. this is also the etymology of the word for the pearls in tea, someone looked at them and thought "man these are like massive boobs!!" i told a a p sheltered taiwanese-american friend this and she didn't believe me until she googled it on taiwan google and then got v. embarrassed she'd been ordering big tits her whole life. also century egg is fine it barely has any taste imo but is nice to put in things. I've also had it served chilled with a chili sauce on it and that was good.

I got mocked by someone years ago for not knowing what "boba" was, when they finally explained it I was just like dude I live in Korea and we call it bubble tea over here, what the gently caress is this boba nonsense. I didn't know about the boobs thing though.

i actually don't know if it's an imported word from Japanese or a loanword just cuz it sorta sounds like "boobs", but the characters are funny too "波霸“ means like "Hegemon of Ripples" or some doofy poo poo if you translate it literally.

Barudak posted:The only people I ever knew saying Boba were white people. I had this strange moment in college where everyone was like "Oh man, lets get Boba tea from this vietnam joint its the best" and me asking if that was just bubble tea, as Id never heard of Boba tea, and everyone stating I was crazy and they must be different things. All the ABCs I know seem to say Boba on their SNS posts, but maybe it's a regional thing and I'm sure various people say various poo poo Magna Kaser posted:i actually don't know if it's an imported word from Japanese or a loanword just cuz it sorta sounds like "boobs", but the characters are funny too "波霸“ means like "Hegemon of Ripples" or some doofy poo poo if you translate it literally. Not Japanese origin to my knowledge; in Japan it's currently referred to as Tapioca, but this is also like the 3rd and largest boom currently, so could have been referred to as Boba in one of the last and I didn't notice.

iirc like 5 people in Taiwan called it that and one of them is the person who originally popularized it in LA or something. It's since been kinda re-exported back to Chinese but if you google or baidu 波霸 you get a bunch of pictures of women and a bunch of articles "Why do wacky foreigners call bubble tea "boba"????" e: im sure japanese has the same thing for "why do white people call their gross fungus water "kombucha"???"

Maybe my memory is shot, but I distinctly remember people in Hong Kong and Taiwan in the 90s using boba to refer to big tapioca pearls. It wasn't as common as just calling them 珍珠, but I don't remember it being a Chinese-American only thing. I asked my dad about this and he mention when he was growing up in the 60s in Hong Kong boba use to mean boobs, but later on the word was coopted for large tapioca pearls in desserts.

A place i lived by years ago had a really good tiramisu one that was heavy on the rum. One thing that is a shame is not done more is whisky and milk tea; with the right combination it’s really good. First got into it at this bar in Hualien which knew the right combo apparently because it’s great.

Yeah this may have come from the differentiation between the larger, more common balls and the smaller ones that you can suck up using a normal straw. I like those more, but if I'm getting something like that now I'll get coconut jelly thing instead. The talk of booze and tapioca pearls did lead to towards this wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagu_(dessert)

Coconut jelly is amazing. Tapioca pearls always seemed mediocre to me until I found a place that mixed them with enough brown sugar to have a flavour, not just a colour. And yeah, "boba" is an Americanism as far as I know.

Seconding the I didn't know what boba was sentiment. I always knew it as bubble tea. Even back in Aus. I assumed it was a stupid American thing. Like calling coriander 'cilantro', chick peas 'garbanzo beans' and affordable healthcare 'socialist heresy'

Growing up in Socal in high school I was pretty much the token white guy among my ABC and first generation Chinese/Taiwanese friends. They all called it boba, so that's what I ended up calling it  Literally never anyone say "bubble tea" until maybe about 5 or so years ago

Never heard Boba until I went back for a bit a few years ago. I don't really care too much it's just a name call it what you want, but, boba sounds dorky.

Less weird only in that it's technically edible and you can get it down without gagging. Like in something like this  But it's not like it's good in anything either. That duck would be better without it. Still better than 变蛋 or whatever that yellow sticky piss egg is called. gently caress that nothing will make that poo poo good it's awful and if you act like you like it you're lying.
