Do You Eat Rice?

[NorthernLight]

I used to tolerate rice. Basmati was nice.

Over the years I developed an active dislike for it. When I lived in Asia, I avoided rice. Of course, this surprised many people.

Now, even the smell of rice cooking grosses me out. If you think rice doesn't have a smell, you're wrong.

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

I fry ziti pasta, pine nuts and garlic in a little oil until it all starts to turn brown and then I add the cooked rice and some herbs and salt 'n pepper, stir it all up, and set it on low for a while. Then I top that with chicken that's been boiled, boned, and then baked in a covered dish or foil-wraps for about a half-hour or so.

So yummy!

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...

My grandma made rice pudding for us a lot when I was little. Sometimes she put raisins in it and sprinkled cinnamon on top.

Nobody makes it like grandma did.

I can't cook rice from scratch to save my life. It either turns out little crunchy pieces or a gelatinous mass. I've gone to buying the 'microwave in a bag' kind. I like the basmati and use it in a quick dish of Brussels sprouts, rice and deli chicken (or turkey) all mixed together.

I love WHITE rice!! I am a diabetic - basmati is a better choice.

Do You Eat Rice?

Yep, come from 4 generations of Louisiana rice farmers, farm is still in the family. Kinda have to, but I like it.

Mostly brown rice a few times a week to replace potatoes. But I prefer quinoa to rice.

Nice simmered in a chicken broth with mushroom and sweet peppers and whatever slivers of meat come out of the freezer, makes a nice quick lunch or side dish.

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

It's very fattening so I eat only a little occasionally. Fried rice in a Chinese is nice

 

[Paladin1950]

Not so much anymore. In my younger days in NYC, I ate tons of it. Sometimes at Chinese restaurants.

 

[DebraMae]

I like rice in all forms. I even use instant rice in meatloaf rather than cracker or bread crumbs.

In Greek, we call this "risogalo" and it was a staple growing up. My mom also made the best rice pudding (slow cooking and lots of cinnamon after). I have tried to make it in the past, but it didn't turn out as thick as hers. Now, I don't eat any because I'm on a low carb diet. Brings back memories....

 

[IKE]

Currently one Holly but I've been married twice and between the two 52 years total......47+5= 52.

Rice food poisoning from bacterial spores is a real thing. Make sure you're storing your leftover rice properly, or you could get seriously sick.

the danger doesn't come from reheating your rice but comes from improperly storing rice before it goes in the fridge. Read on for the details to avoid any chance of leftover rice food poisoning in the future.
