Just wondering.

How often do you eat rice?

Do you eat it as a main dish of some sort or mainly as a side dish?

What type do you like: jasmine, basmatic, long grain, whole grain, wild etc...?

Do you also eat rice pudding or other rice desserts? Pls share

Hugs, we ordered in Thai food last night, so of course it came with rice,  that's what made me think of this thread !    I love rice...  when I was preggos, I was extremely odemic (ds came very early cause of it),  anyway the gyn put me on a rice diet...   steamed rice (no salt or butter just plain).  I would  / was allowed to cut up raw veggies into it : it acts as a diuretic... (good for your FH board I guess)... it works,,, really gets rid of water weight.   (of course that's all you can eat the whole day, all day long as much as you want though) LOL  

Brown rice is nice, takes a bit longer to cook..... when you use regular white rice which kind do you use... the jasmine rice is delicious and the kernels are thin.... FYI....

Wow that is interesting Suzan,
You really don't want to know what kind of white rice I use, LOL
Most of the time it's the five minute rice <g>
Have used the long grain for certain recipes too.
Now it's whatever is fast you know :)

I'd like to eat it more often. I just don't think about it even though I have it in my pantry.

I use it as a base for certain foods, such as Asian. There just seems something "unnatural" to serve it as some folks do... a blob on a plate. It needs something to "top" it, it needs to be a base. Weird, I know.

I use an assortment. They all have certain characteristics and flavors.

Yes, I do rice desserts. Love them. Most times, I do rice desserts for breakfast, not for dessert.
