Talking in brackets to say the thing you actually mean is so Autism coded (I do it too)

I do this and it makes me wonder. It doesn’t seem
normaltypical but it makes a lot of sense to meComment105@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
You’re allowed to use the word normal. It means something quite understandable for most, and only very sensitive people object to its use.

Wait… people actually like rice? I thought it was just a thing you ate with other things because of reasons I don’t understand. It never occurred to me that people would eat it on purpose, because they enjoy it.
scytale@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
Because actual good quality rice tastes good. Thai jasmine rice for example is fluffy, moist, and fragrant. Then there’s all sorts of ways of elevating it like fried rice, sticky rice, etc. In Asia, rice is not just a side dish, it’s a main component of a meal.

It is the canvas on which the culinary artistry cannot exist without

I fucking love rice. Sometimes I scoop some rice out of my rice cooker and eat it straight off the paddle. It’s also great with other things!
thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
it’s like bread. if you only ever saw white bread on sandwiches you might be confused to hear about someone living a good sourdough or rye from the bakery.
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 weeks ago
also if that bread was only ever served underbaked and untoasted, with the toppings laid directly on the bread slice without any fat between.

It’s cultural. If you’ve grown up eating it with everything, it’s like a comfort food
ChapulinColorado@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It’s like corn (e.g. tortillas) for some cultures or wheat (e.g. bread) for others.

I’ve grown up without that but I still love it. Though I also love pasta, bread and noodles so maybe I just love grains in general…
julianh@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
I like rice but kind of like how I like bread. It’s carbs that you put with other stuff give it more substance. On its own it can be OK (since its carbs) but pretty bland.

Rice is great if you’re really hungry and want to eat two thousand of something.

I like it with garlic and salt. As with any food, it’s unpleasant without flavouring. And you need the right rice for the right job - basmati for curry, glutinous rice for sushi, etc
Contramuffin@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Depends on the cultivar. Rice does have different flavors, and some are definitely tastier than others, at least in my opinion. Japanese sticky rice is my favorite, and although I wouldn’t eat it on its own, I can totally see why someone would enjoy it

Rice + Burmese chili paste + cilantro + soy sauce is my jam

Cilantro is the real devil’s lettuce. Absolutely vile

Aw man, you’ve never been broke as fuck huh?

I have been, but I ate beans or potatoes, not rice. I know lemmy loves to bang on about beans and rice but it’s not my thing. Growing up in a farm community meant there was a lot of cheap food to be found locally.
usrtrv@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
As with pretty much any staple food. It’s used as a filler. The reason you might not understand is that it can be expensive to eat only meat, veggies, etc. A cheap staple like rice, noodles, or bread is a good way not to die of starvation or at the least keep some money in your pocket.
If a staple food isn’t part of your daily diet, that speaks a bit of privilege on your economic position.
Also I enjoy rice. It’s neutral tasting but with a tiny bit of seasoning it’s good.
Corno@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
I love rice! I’ll eat it as a snack often, like I’ll just make some plain boiled rice (basmati and jasmine are my faves) at whatever hour and eat it at my desk. I particularly love the basmati variety because it has an almond-y flavour and taste.
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 weeks ago
i mean it’s like pasta or potatoes or any other starch, cook it properly with some salt and it tastes fairly good, add some butter or similar and it tastes very good, then make it part of a suitable meal and it’s REALLY good

Some krill are basically the same size as a grain of rice though.
