Shouldn't we be calling it african-american and irish-american rice?

Frankly, I'm more concerned about the implied inferiority of the term 'short-grain' rice.

All rice has, or should have, an equal place on this planet no matter what it's colour or physical dimentions. Shame on you bigots and haters.

As usual, we forget all about the Native American rice. Driven off their own land and now only available if you have a reservation.

Hmmph.

Which is weird, because short-grain rice is way superior. Sushi rice is short-grain.

Try frying the brown rice after its cooked. I put veggies in with mine, and the kids now prefer brown rice over the white rice. Its a completly different texture and taste. As I am sure you know
Or... try frying the white rice BEFORE it is cooked. Simply brown the dry rice with a splash of olive oil in the bottom of the pot you are going to cook it in. Then cook it normally. This gives it a different taste, closer to brown rice without the texture difference as much.

I have a very tasty brown rice recipe. Saute chopped broccoli in olive oil until tender, then add cooked brown rice and sprinkle liberally with parmesan cheese - I like a LOT of cheese. Also, I cook the brown rice in beef broth and add several shakes of Maggi seasoning. You can make it really rich by adding some butter to the pan when you add the rice.

Eh: risottos.

I like cooking quinoa with chicken stock. Makes it quite like a pilaf.

I love quinoa!
I am happy to eat it with raw veggies.

Must put it on the shopping list.
Oh, except Mum & I are sharing evening meals and she don't like it.
Damn her and her grain and pulse prejudices!

I love the chew-factor of brown rice.
As with quinoa (although without the protein) I am happy to have it as the main ingredient.
I'm honestly not a fan of white rice. It could disappear into Room 101 and I would not miss it. I don't hate it, like bananas or peanut butter, but I would not choose to eat it.

Given my druthers I have a naan with curry and any bread option available with chilli.
And prawn crackers with Chinese.
Nom nom.
