I'm a riceist and so should you be.
This post will be controversial to say the least.
Continue at your own peril. But before you do, read the title again! Take a deep breath and know that it's not a typo.
So... I'm a riceist. There I said it. I'm out of the rice closet and I'm proud of it too!
I'm a riceist!
White rice, brown rice, whole rice and even (gasp) wild rice. I don't like them all. Sure, I'll have sushi or a Thai curry with rice but if I could exchange the rice with something else I would. I have. Because that's what riceists do.
I know you must be sitting there gaping at my words in disbelief but it's true. Rice, that white, brown or red little grain is not something I'm overly fond of. Sure, rice feeds the world. It's a cheap staple diet of most places but think about it, it's a prima-donna.
Cook it too much and it turns to mush.
Cook it too little and it stays hard and gets between your teeth.
It's also full of sugars and has little nutritional value.
Don't get me wrong I'm good at cooking rice.
Just because I'm a riceist doesn't mean I can't use it. But if I had my way I would replace it with pasta.
