Rice is one of my least favorite foods

[Horse with no Name]

However...I have this overwhelming urge to stockpile some. I am guessing that I could will it to my kids if I never eat it.:shrug:

4. So why do you think that most of the people in the world eat it?

Because it is very nutritious, that's why.

5. Liver is very good for you too

But you won't catch me eating it either.
People are allowed to have food likes and dislikes, aren't they?
I'm just saying...the media driving this rice story makes it seem like something you cannot be without.

7. Thanks for the reminder.

I'm going out to buy 400 pounds of liver to tide me over the next year.




Just kidding. I'm a vegetarian.

11. I just assumed they ate it because it's cheap and available.

I guess it is one small step above cardboard, however.

9. I wasn't -- until I started dating a Latina and eating her food

I grew up with Uncle Ben's, which is what most Americans think of when they think rice -- some variety of long grain. Most Latinos eat medium grain rice, which when cooked properly is very fluffy.

I've also come to appreciate the different subtle flavors of the varieties.

Now I eat rice most days of the week -- Spanish short grain, Indian basmati, Jasmine, medium grain brown, basmati brown, and once in a while even Uncle Ben's.

I love rice pilaf, that is that my Armenian culture coming out.
