JUST EAT.
Me silently to other people's children when they say...What's in this?
I'd like to smack you.
My answer to OP.
I don't know why they didn't call it by it's right name. Go someplace else.

My mom used to call tapioca pudding she made "Fish eyes and glue". We still ate it.
Then again she called the liver she made "Liver". It was horrible and barely went down. But, like GG said, my Mom was the Captain of the Kitchen - and we ate it, in lieu of the smack. Those were the good old days - but I have never had liver since then, Bless Her heart...
