1. My b/f makes a mean spanish rice and beans

Yummy!

[Droopy]

2. Rice sucks

I just wanted to rain on your parade.

[LDS Jock]

18. yes, she does suck

[Longgrain]

25. LOL

I guess there's no taste for that type of Rice around here! ;)

[Cuban_Liberal]

3. No problem.

I eat rice about once a day.

:)

[Renew Deal]

4. I only like white rice.

Does that make me a racist? Or maybe a ricest?

[Schema Thing]

5. Longrain, brown, basmati,

I love it all.

And mostly I love what Chipotle does with it in their burritos, of late. And while I'm praising them, god bless Chipotle for their free range organic Carnitas. Yum, oh yes, yum.

[Longgrain]

Ha! Longgrain!

I love Chipotle too...don't have one in my area tho...:(

[Groggy]

6. Jasmine rice

with shredded CHEESE!!! Extra Sharp Cheddar!! hehe

[RagingInMiami]

7. I love moros, which is Cuban black beans, rice and pork cooked together

But I would have to go with Spanish Paella as my favorite. Colombian arroz con coco (rice with coconut) is pretty tasty as well, but the coconut needs to be fresh.

[Cuban_Liberal]

9. Moros y Cristianos!

I made that for Christmas!

:D

[RagingInMiami]

12. You got to love the historical significance behind that name

Moors and Christians - When the African Moors invaded the European Spaniards, resulting in a mixture of the cultures in what is now modern-day Spain.

[Cuban_Liberal]

14. Yeah, and then they came to the New World....

... and REALLY mixed it up. I'm an absolute mutt.

:)

[RagingInMiami]

16. Me too

I got Spanish and Chispa (Colombian Indian) from my mom's side, and German-American from my dad's side.

[Cuban_Liberal]

19. I hear ya.

Spanish and _____ (N. Mexican Indian of some sort) on Dad's side, Spanish, Caribe and African on Mom's side.

[Cobalt Violet]

8. Brown and Basmati

:9

[smbolisnch]

10. I don't discriminate.

I eat all kinds of rice! I don't think I have ever met a rice I didn't like! ;)

[Left Is Write]

11. I made chicken and wild rice soup for supper tonight.

[ronnykmarshall]

13. I like white rice and soy sauce.

But I have this great dish my mom makes.

Chili rice. It has sour cream and two kinds of cheese in it.

mmmm! mmmm!

[Longgrain]

15. How about jambalaya?

Especially with shrimp :9 Oh sooooo heavenly.

Any Cajun Duers want to chime in...

[fluffernutter]

27. yum, i love jamalaya. we had it recently and it was soo good.

and yes, it had shrimp in it and it was perfectly spicey :9

[Longgrain]

39. I don't get a lot of authentic Cajun cooking where I come from...

But I looooove spicy foodstuffs...

[HEAVYHEART]

17. White of course!

Are you surprised? ;-) I really do need to make dinner.. brb..

[Longgrain]

20. RICeIEST!!!

The white rice has been keeping brown rice down for too long!

The White Rice is Satan!

(Jus' kidding ;-) )

[Cuban_Liberal]

21. Free brown rice!

Viva la Raza!

:P

[Longgrain]

24. You tell em!

Power to the paddy!:thumbsup:

;-)

[u4ic]

22. This one is very yummy:

http://www.lundberg.com/products/rice_nf_wildblend.html

But my favourite of all is BBQ pork fried rice. I can even deal with it being white rice, though I much prefer brown or wild.

[stpalm]

23. I put yellow mustard on my rice. It's really good.

I did it when I was little and now I can't imagine white rice without Plochmans.

[Be Brave]

26. Jasmine!

Does anything smell and taste better?

[fluffernutter]

28. spanish rice is probably my fave, but i like all rice.

[Longgrain]

29. Let us not forget....

Rice Crispy Squares!

Made with marshmallow fluff! :9

[fluffernutter]

30. rice crispie treats are a little bit crunchy and a little bit fluffy.

how can you not love them?

[Longgrain]

31. MMMMMMMMMM...

fluff and crunch!

Two great tastes, that go great together!

[Longgrain]

32. Shameless kick

:P

[Left Is Write]

33. You're just waiting for someone to say...

"Long grain and wild rice" aren't you?

:D

[Longgrain]

36. Would you like to be "wild rice"?

Should there ever be a another 'name change amnesty'?
;-)

[Left Is Write]

37. It's cute...have to admit.

:)

[RagingInMiami]

34. Here's a simple but delicious recipe for rice passed down from my mom

Saute white rice in a pan or ricemaker before adding the water. Toss in a few thinly sliced cloves of fresh garlic and let it cook. When it's done, add some more butter and garlic. Serve and enjoy.

[koneko]

35. All rice

especially white rices -

Japanese style rice comes first, then Basmati & Jasmine

Favorite sushi roll is a specialty roll at Ginza in Boston - the B-52. I can't tell ya off the top of my head what's in it, but it is freakin' amazing.

[Danmel]

38. I made some Brown Thai Jasmine Rice tonight

I sauteed fresh spinach with shallots and garlic and some mirin wine and used it as bed for salmon teriyaki and served it with brown thai jasmine rice ( i figured I'd buy a Thai product to help the economy)

It was very yummy!

I live near a Fairway market where they have all kinds of interesting rices. I have Fragrant Vietnamese Rice, Bhutanese red rice (grown in the Himalayas!) and really short grain rice that I use to make Paella Valenciana! (It is a miracle that I don't weigh 400 pounds!)

[SOteric]

40. Forbidden Rice.

The pearly obsidian grains are incredibly beautiful when properly prepared, and the texture is heaven. I like it pilaf style, with saffron and thyme in the arromatics and just a bit of fish sauce and some bul gogi in the cooking liquid.
