Please don't project your own opinions of a staple that people eat sometimes 3 meals a day onto others.
I'll beat your blind taste test everyday of the week just by rolling the rice around in my mouth
EDIT fwiw you can vaguely bucket 1.4 billion people into "eat basmati" 673M+1.4B people into "eat jasmine" and 150M+50M into "eat short grain" rice which is well over a third of the planet
- solarmist 2y agoI agree with you. I can tell them apart (Not Japanese vs. California rice, though). I should have qualified that to randomly selected Americans/Europeans. And that they could understand each type of rice is different but wouldn't have a clue which is which.
- djtango 2y agoI would enjoy a California be Japanese blind taste test. My mother in law has started buying Vietnamese-grown Japanese short grain - I think I can taste the difference but it could also be the cooking method As a cash strapped student I would buy Korean short grain as it was cheaper
- solarmist 2y agoYeah, the cooking method (and the water it's cooked in) has a much larger effect than the origin of the rice.
