Hiii, good morning, How are you ? I hope you all fine
I want to tell you about culture in Indonesia. 1 culture that sometimes make me feel in middle of proud and ashamed . We always add rice in every foods. Pizza and rice, noodle and rice, burger and rice, spaghetti and rice, every foods we eat with rice. There is proverb here that "THERE IS NO EATING WITHOUT RICE".
Do you also same ? Always add rice in every foods?

No, that isn't the culture here, thank goodness! I'd starve if we had to have rice at every meal.
When I was little, one of my older brothers told me mom made rice from maggots. I couldn't eat rice after that. That brother got in a LOT of trouble for telling me that. Then he told me how mom made chocolate cake and he got in even more trouble for that!

@sjvg1976 That is much too often to eat rice.
We have rice on our table once in six months and that is too often, too.

@Andini That definitely gives you a full and happy stomach.
I have a lot of relatives who do the same during family gatherings. Sometimes I even see a combination of spaghetti, noodle dishes and rice in a single plate. We just really love our rice here, too.

I'm fine also.
No need ashamed it is culture there. I also add rice in most of times in food but limited quantities because its increases fatness.

You must like rice very much,and what kind of rice do you usually use? If the rice have been cooked before you add to the food.

There is nothing to bee ashamed of one's culture. Asians eat rice and it's part of our living. I will be restless if there is no rice on the table fry or not as long as rice ready to eat. Most Americans do not eat rice, also in China when i was there, only few eat rice, the sticky rice.

well, people in Bosnia eat bread with many things - except with pita and pizza.
yes, bread and spaghetti, bread and macaroni, bread and potatoes
i don't do it tho because i feel full after one slice of bread and it ruins my meal hah

@Andini my cousin married a girl from Thailand and he says that she eats rice with everything and that they always have rice at home and he stopped eating bread and started eating rice instead.
