Rice eating.

I see, so you're a Chennai'ite. I've a pal from your city who, like a typical Southy relishes on rice in every single meal of his. His favorite these days is Chinese fried rice; and not to mention Sambar rice. I always wonder how he doesn't get tired of eating rice. However, I'm an avid rice-eater too. I'm a vegetarian now, (almost) but I recall I used to gorge on Chicken Biryani every single time I could, when I used to consume meat. And even now, I relish Sambar-rice, Varan/Aamti-rice, (Varan/Aamti are typical Maharashtrian varieties of dal) Veg. Biryani, Masala Rice, (Another Maharashtrian delicacy) mint rice, Khichdi-curd, all Chinese varieties of rice etc. with ease. I especially love the Sambar (hot and spicy) my mum makes. Also, in my childhood I had been on a vacation to South India, and I remember how much I'd enjoyed Idlies, Dosas and Uthappams along with those really tasty red chilly chutnies, among others. Slurp!! I haven't yet tasted Rasam, but my Southy friends swear by its taste. I'll have some soon! It is also said that fermented rice, i.e. the one used as the paste in Idlies, Dosas et al are beneficial to your brains! In short, being a total foodie, I love rice as much as I do other foods!

I'm from the Philippines and we're a rice-eating nation.Ü Rice is a staple on the dining table. For most Filipino families, a meal isn't a meal without rice. However, because of changes in our lifestyles, there are a lot of Filipinos who are on a no-rice diet and I'm one of 'em. I have not been eating rice for 5 months now. My brother and my mother don't eat rice too. The most that I would consume would be 1 cup a day.

Hi friend, I am from south india from hyderbad.I am a rice eater for lunch and dinner time. Eating rice is good to health.In south india rice is a tradition food. I will eat along rice with curries,veg biryani,hyderbad biryani,chicken biryani, lemon rice,jeera rice,tomato rice like that different types of rice we can taste it. so enjoy a rice eaters always with different taste of rice made. have a great day.

We eat rice a lot in our family. I often use it in place of pasta or potatoes. Years ago, I worked with an Indian guy whose mum was a brilliant cook. He used to bring in these little savoury snacks. They were square cubes of compressed, cold rice mixed with spices and fresh herbs. I've never tasted anything like them! They were wonderful! He was only young, so used to get a ribbing from the other lads (not racist, they were engineers - all the new lads got it) When he chatted to his mum on the phone, they'd yell "Hey mum, tell him to bring in some more of those rice cakes!" One day, ma came to work with him - and a bucket load of those rice squares. She said: "NOW will you leave my son's lunch alone?! He's starving when he gets in at night!" Halycon days.

We too have rice for lunch with sambhar or rasam and curd. Since we have lived in different parts of India i also make vegetable pulao, ghee rice, sweet rice or called meetha pulao and also variety rice. We do not eat rice in the night instead eat chappathis with sabji. The staple food of Indians is rice and it is also grown in plenty in our country. Happy mylotting.

I have rice on every single meal... I crave for it coz I have been used to it alllll my life!!!!

i love south indian food, my mouth is watering with the names of those dishes. i am a rice eater, i eat rice only in the after noon, while i eat chapati in the morning and in the evening too. i love rice but have to eat chapati bcoz its lighter than rice, i cannot digest rice when eaten at night. chapati is easier to eat and dry too.

I'm in America. I do like some rice, but I don't care for plain, white rice or plain brown rice. I like rice that has seasoning packets with it. The only exception is Jasmine rice. I love Jasmine rice, but even with that we add butter and garlic salt!

I eat every day with rice. The main food in my country is rice. Our place of rice is often served with a variety of ways.

I do not eat rice everyday however whenever I get the opportunity to have rice with some really tasty curry like the Indians prepare then only I will have rice with my hand as I have already did this experience at my friend's place who is an Indian.

I am from Indonesia, here... Rice is a must! Indonesian peoples usually said that, "if we haven't eat rice, than we have not eat yet...". We usually eat rice three times a day, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner... sometimes even if we cook noodles, we still eat it with rice... We eat rice with everything we want...

I am a rice eater too, I consume rice in the form of fried rice, pulav, other mixed rice variety like lemon rice , coconut rice, tamarind rice and so many other varities besides having it with sambhar, rasam, curd etc.

Am from the Philippines, a rice eating country. We eat rice 3x/day or 5x/day because we eat rice in between meals or merienda but in the form of a soup.

Hi dear friend. I am basically from Bangalore... I agree with your article.. basically we do eat rice at least twice a day.. it is the been a regular food for us. without we cant even live for a day. we do prepare lots of things with rice like normal white rice with sambar. Biryani, Pulav, Ghee rice, puliyogara, vaangibath, rice bath, curd rice, lemon rice , all those stuff.. everything tastes good which we prepare out of rice.

hi ramesh ... the best rice of all is "banana leaf rice" .. there is a Cheetti temple near my house, every "Kartigai" they will serve lunch .. vegetarian, and it is the best meal of all ... yummy ! yummy ! yummy ! i like most is ... Rice + Rasam + Chicken Varuval when my mother used to make, sambar + long beans masala + pumkin - i used to call it "kalyana sapadu" u make me miss my mothers cooking dear

Whatever u eat is good for you as long as u can digest it,,many people are running far from rice now,, I do look for the idly ,vada, dausa,etc ,as I reach Delhi,,

Im an active person so, definately rice is a great source of carbohydrates. I love rice and I'm born to eat rice and i can't survive without it. Rice is the only thing that can satisfy my stomach. I'm slim but i can consume three cups of rice.

Yes we also rice eater,we like it most even for lunch time too.With some different food and some vegetables if posible for balance diet too.But we need to eat less rice more food so we dont get fat,do you think so?Thank's my firend.

rice definitely is a staple diet all around the world. here in north india also no meal is complete without rice. once in a day is an absolute must. however, biryani (both vegetarian and non vegetarian) is very popular here and second comes with rajma (beans) with pickles.

Well, I'm also an absolute rice eater, I have rice twice a day, and I could not live without rice,I'm kind of used to having rice while not to other food, like power or bread. So I guess I need rice to make up for my energy and keep my life in my whole life time.
