👉 The word 'weeny' refers to a type of sweet or salty snack that is often served in hot drinks, usually accompanied by a warm beverage. In English-speaking cultures, 'weeny' can also refer to a type of candy made from tapioca pearls (which are made from sugary starch) and then infused with a honey-icing flavor. This dish is often enjoyed as an after-dinner snack or dessert. In more traditional contexts, the word 'weeny' may also be used to describe any food that has been prepared using tapioca pearls as its primary ingredient, such as in traditional Chinese dishes like chia pudding or rice cakes.
