I like yellow rice.
If I prefer one type of rice over another, would that make me ricest?

(I know, I know...that was corny. I'll do it myself, Blaine: -10 points)

White or brown, I don't care...I only like sticky rice.

i can tell i'm hungry.
they all sound good. i am a fan of fried rice, wild rice and minute rice, of course. mexican rice, sigh, really has to be well prepared.

Don't eat the Mexican Rice at Taco Bell...it's made with fryer grease, and I'm not even kidding...the recipe calls for 1 scoop of fryer grease per pan. That is about the most disgusting thing I can think of to do too...making Mexican Rice every Sat/Sun morning at 8 AM when I just got through washing the dishes from the night before at 3 AM (I don't think I had legal working condtions at Taco Bell, especially since I was 16 at the time).

Brown rice, lower glycemic index and it still has the hull on it so more bran content whereas white is enriched and has been hulled. - This is really only important to dieters I suppose :D

Otherwise I love Wild rice and after that Jasmine or the short grained type rice that is stickier.

BTW to answer the what is yellow rice question, yellow rice is just white rice that has safron (sp?) added to it to give it color and flavor. Also has a couple of other things in it... You find it a lot in the south, but from what I understand it has Latin origins.

I like brown for this same reason

cous cous is good too

How do you know he probably didn't show me the good stuff? Now I didn't describe the bismati rice AT ALL! You get on my nerves! *hands on hips*

Someone else described the yellow rice.

Oh, and send the pm again if you tried to reply to me...I cleaned out my inbox. I'm so popular :D

Because he was Iraqi and they mess everything up.

Oh now see, I'm not getting sucked into your nationalist/ethnic prejudices.

It's a joke dork although we had a long war with them. In the end it's Persian cuisine made best by Persians. But I'm sure what you had was good regardless :)

LOL @ dork!!! dayum.

There is only one place in Chicago that comes close to decent persian food if you're interested.

In additon, my understanding is the hull or the brown rice is high in fiber. Your stomach has to work harder to process the fiber in brown rice, so there for not as much is absorbed into your body. On the other hand, it is very easy for your body to break down white rice so the starch/sugar is absorbed quickly. The fiber also makes you feel full faster and the full feeling last longer.

The only thing i can stand is bismati rice.
