you've got your chicken, your cheddar broccoli, your herb & butter. Whole world of rice out there. Amazing that it's all grown in san francisco.

Rice is incredible & risotto is a top dish, what the hell is going on here.

Rice in burritos is trash though, fuck SF
Yeah, I always try to leave the rice out of burritos. I did try to make one of those ramen burritos once but it wasn't great.

I avoid risotto because it's almost always shit, but that's more down to British cooking, nothing against the dish in principle

you know there are shops that sell basmati from a variety of places. have you ever been to an indian or pakistani market?
― marcos, Friday, 12 October 2018 15:46 (five years ago) link
Not only have i beenI used to cook indian food like a couple times a week for a few yearsI don’t like basmati but I didn’t realize it until i tried a variety of japanese rices
― F# A# (∞), Friday, 12 October 2018 15:48 (five years ago) link
I like basmati just fine but yeah it’s only since I started going to Japan regularly that I’ve really come to appreciate rice. We have a Zojirushi for it now. The Japanese rice we get here for a reasonable price is Italian, but it’s been judged ok by Japanese rice masters or whatever so shrug it’s goodRice from the Camargue is our local staple. We cook it by frying the grains first in a bit of oil and then when they turn golden brown add the water. Boiled rice is IMO inedible but this way, which I learned from my South American dad, is stupendous.

― marcos, Friday, 12 October 2018 16:17 (five years ago) link
each grain coated in oil
i get good results doing the pilaf style toasting in fat and then using more water with basmati. i rinse jasmine and don't use oil or as much water, and that is also good.

this doesn't seem to be true. anyway price, nationalism, and expectation built on experience do some work here.

it seems that japanese do import a fair amount of calrose from california for use in food because it is the correct grain size.

No one is arguing they’re correctBut japanese find US rice gross so the japanese gov’t find ways to use imported rice strategically and sometimes pressuring/fooling them into eating it

perhaps I misunderstood, but you seemed to be posting that bit about japan importing feed rice to support two of your ideas itt: 1) japanese rice is the best and 2) basmati rice is bad. I am only defending texmati and pointing out that the support of that post is weak and that all rice is good. yerac is the true enemy here. let's not be distracted by infighting fellow rice lover.

my controversial opinion is that icecream & cake is only acceltable if the cake is warm/hotif it’s just like, room temperature or cold birthday cake or whatever then NO ICECREAMyes i am sally from when harry met sally
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 12 October 2018 17:56 (five years ago) link
*acceptable
I think my preference here depends on the type and flavor of cake
― for i, sock in enumerate (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 12 October 2018 18:11 (five years ago) link

heat sources are irrelevantcake that you like, whatever flavor, is only good with icecream if the cake is warmif the cake is cold, throw that scoop of icecream in the trash
