Westerners and 'Muricans especially are afraid of using rice as a staple. More than half the kids I knew back in college had never even attempted to cook it.
As for those that tried… imagine a ragebait Jamie Oliver video, but worse lol
Stirrin that pot so much I thought they were making soup
I ate a lot of rice growing up, I don’t think this is the issue so much as that food quality is bad in the US and most the industrial scale farming is targeted at beans and corn. Why those two staples aren’t present on a deployed boat speaks to some kind of corruption or mismanagement.
Just because you did, doesnt mean thats the norm. Growing up and living in this country, Americans dont know much about food and there is so much ignorance.
He is right, many dont even know how to make rice. Many dont even eat rice, and dont get me started on the paleo diet bullshit in this country where they even think rice is bad for you.
America is one of the most ignorant countries on Earth when it comes to food and I wish I was joking. Most unhealthy food and unhealthy populace.
Chinese food is one of the most popular cuisines in US, and rice is its staple. Lot of Americans don’t cook meals from scratch, period, but for those there is microwavable rice.
As much as I’d like to agree, I just don’t see a lot of truth to the idea the US is anti rice; there’s historical/environmental reasons why corn is the dominant grain.
Lol its so ez and cheap.
Maybe they were frying it up.😅
rice is great, tho i do like potatos
