Here in Costa Rica rice and beans holds the same prominence as kimchi does in Korea.
The best country for flavorful rice?�Right here. |
But I guess my response would be more appropriate if the question was dealing with preparation. As far as the origin of the rice...who the hell knows? Rice is rice; it's what you do with it that counts. That is, of course, if you're talking about dishes and not rice alone, in which case preparation, once again, would seem more important than country of origin.
It's amazing the *beep* I respond to when stoned. |

Pink Freud:
Curious to know why Basmati rice appeals to much to some of you? I like it well enough too.
friendoken:
Never been to Laos. What exactly to you like about their rice?
In general, I'm not a fan of sticky rice, which I suppose means we have at least three categories of rice eaters: sticky, not-sticky, and brown.
I like brown rice, too, but the thread's about white rice.
Ya-Ta Boy: really showing your ignorance in your first response. Or is it just for the usual snide remark effect?
Surprised no one likes northeast Chinese rice. It is certainly flavorful and the preferred brand within China, although the Chinese also import Thai rice for a niche market.
It just amazes me how Koreans think their rice is so damn good. And their BBQ beef gets blown away by Texas and North Carolina beef brisket BBQ. They really have no clue because they don't allow the import of rice without huge tariffs. Just another way the Korean consumer is so limited in his/her choices.
When all's said and done, though, I'm still a potato and gravy man--new potatoes, red potatoes--the Idahoan variety, fresh mashed with fresh chicken gravy. Youser. |

| How many of you westerners (myself included) have eaten rice with butter? I have. That explains a lot... Anyway, having lived in Asia for 8 years, the only difference in rice that I usually detect is in its preparation e.g. this rice has been under/over cooked. Rice in general, IMHO, is insipid and, as a previous post stated, "a filler," secondary to the item(s) eaten with it. |

Rice is on the most part is crap. Brown rice from North America is descent..
The jist of the matter is that white rice isl tasteless. Poor nutrional value and a crappy filler.. Potatoes aren't any better ofcourse. Except for sweet potatoes which are food from the gods. |

Potatoes are significantly better.
They are a very good source of Vitamin C, and a good source of Vitamin B6, Copper, Potassium, Manganese, Tryptophan, and Dietary Fiber. |
