Discussion Dear Asians, can you live without rice?

Haven't we talked of this before?
Does Jollibee count? Their chicken is yummy and the burger steak too

 

Actually back to this topic, what are your impressions of brown rice? I can do without white rice but I still like it, brown rice on the other hand just gives me the feeling of satisfaction in my stomach but not in my mouth (taste).

 

College thought me that I can survive without rice for 1 and a half years.

 

U really like jollibee have u tried making spaghetti on ur own?

 

^^) cause your taste buds are are too skewed

mhm Q.Q)

 

I did not try brown rice. I only know mais.

 

In the older days and today in very poor regions, rice is often used to fill empty stomachs without any side dishes or very little. Rice has loads of carbs, so it is filling and it helps to avoid starvation.

My routine is cinnamon oatmeal or eggs with toast for the morning, sandwich or burger for lunch, then rice with side dishes or pasta for dinner.

The elderly Asians typically eat oatmeal here (maybe due to health reasons?). White Rice is not good for diabetics or cholesterol unless it is brown. Oatmeal and brown rice has fiber.

 

Rice is good, and it would certainly feel weird to me to never eat it again...but can I live without it? Totally. I may have grown up eating rice, but I also grew up eating noodles (wheat noodles. Although cellophane rice noodles are also very good).

 

Shiki-sama if ur rice is tasteless just mix it with soup or try eating it with meat or others

 

Brown rice is nice. Kinda pricey tho. White rice is available everywhere and is cheap. But taste-wise, they're almost the same with the brown rice slight ahead. I feel the grains better and it fills the stomach easily.

I semi had made spaghetti before. I made spaghetti sauce and put it on rice because i forgot we have no pasta at home.

Rice porridge, the water makes it more than it seems. some more poor people also eat rice with seasonings like salt or soy sauce in their desperate times.

 

U can buy pasta almost everywhere in PH

 

I live in the mountains. I need a ride down to the city to buy pasta

 

Meanie!!! >.<

I dunno where the sama came from, but I do eat it with meat~

Rice with soup seems like a total waste of rice though.

 

I eat rice with nothing but soy sauce on it sometimes...I swear it's not because I'm too lazy to actually cook...

 

Rice with soup is a hit or miss scenario. Either you'd end up with a tasteless thing, or your experience of eating rice will get elevates. Some sauces are made thick and heavily seasons because of how they are paired with rice.

I have tried that but just not to my liking... My niece likes eating mango with rice. Sometimes, she's rather have that than the other dishes on the table xD

 

I can live without rice for a while but i prefer rice.

 

^^) Hey Rice Congee with soy sauce is the lazy asian's food!

 

We totally do that in ph if there is no meat..
Vegetable soup is good..

You have a niece wow~.
I only tried rice with banana or rice with milo because i was too hungry

 

It's alright, I eat it everyday for dinner but I can live without it. Because I eat the same stuff everyday, I'm now more interested in cuisine from other cultures, but I'm too lazy to go out and buy them because 1. It's more expensive and 2. I won't know if it's authentic or just some random owner catering to the masses with food they know nothing about.

 

Probably not.
