Do You Eat Rice?

[Timewise 60+]

Do you eat rice and why or why not? If you do eat rice what is your favorite type of rice you eat?

 

[Lewkat]

No, I do not.

 

[Capt Lightning]

Yes, because I like rice. The type depends on what what the meal is.

 

[Rossana]

I like Jasmine rice, brown rice, white rice, and wild rice. (Depending on the dish)

 

[Amelia B]

Himalayan basmati

 

[LadyEmeraude]

I only mostly eat rice pilaf....

Occasionally cooked white rice, with warm or hot milk over it
and some white sugar. For me like a dessert, when I was a young
child, my mom made this for us kids as a treat...

 

[CeeCee]

I Don‘t like rice.. never did.
I‘ll take a potato in any way though.
My late husband loved it though..all kinds!

It’s the kind that they serve at Indian restaurants. It’s light and long grain and has a wonderful aroma.

Mostly brown rice. Fried rice, sweet n sour with rice, Japanese curry with rice, orange beef with rice. rice with cinnamon and raisins for breakfast.

Same here, adding cinnamon and raisins.

 

[hawkdon]

Only when the Chinese restaurant sends it.....

 

[hollydolly]

Yes I do..I eat Basmati, Pilau... white rice , brown rice.. Jasmine Rice... pudding rice...

I might even be having rice tonight for dinner if I can make my mind up whether to have Chinese Take-away for dinner...

Why do you ask ?

 

[Jules]

Basmati, usually the white, though I also have brown in the house.

 

[dobielvr]

Not much anymore.
Used to make pilaf all the time. It was always part of our Sunday dinners.

I still sometimes make bulgar pilaf for my cousin and his wife, with a cut up onion cooked on top.

 

[MarkD]

At home I make jasmine but also like basmati. Brown rice and wild rice have their use as does the sweet Thai rice served with fresh mango and the large grain rice used in risotto.

 

[fuzzybuddy]

I love rice. But, I'm a diabetic, and I need to restrict my carbs- Rice is pretty much all carbs.

 

[RadishRose]

Rarely.

 

[Murrmurr]

I love rice. I make a killer Mediterranean style chicken & rice pilaf.

Long grain.

 

[down2earth]

I love rice in any form......Mexican rice, Chinese fried rice, rice pudding, chicken soup with rice. My favorite is basmati and Jasmine. However, due to the concerns about (inorganic) arsenic levels in rice I've been cutting back. I make sure to rinse it well and use a large amount of cooking water to cut the arsenic level in half. Did you know that brown rice has more arsenic than white rice? It's also good to know WHERE your rice is grown. Southern states have more arsenic in their soil. California has the least amount of arsenic in the soil. Timing is also important. Rice grown in the Himilayas is relatively safe, except during the dry season where arsenic contaminated water is used for irrigation.

 

[Amelia B]

There is predicted to be a big rice shortage this year. I don’t really eat it that much but I do like it. I feel sorry for those in the world who use it as a staple in their diet.

I add wild rice to mine as well as the regular.
