Rice

Plain white grains without flavour Thousands in a bowl Crown jewel of the table How satiating All dish pairs well with Soft, steaming Rice!

I eat every day. It's the staple food, especially in the southern part of India. Beautifully illustrated. Congratulations!

Do you eat it plain s lot? I know in some countries they often eat it plain and that seems so boring to me . I like how you tell that it pairs with many dishes

Yeah, some folks here would actually prefer to eat just rice than any other dish without rice. I don't go that far, though. I don't actually eat rice with all my meals.

I think our cultures are so different when it comes to staples like rice!

On occasion, mostly when I get bored waiting for the other dish to come out at restaurants, haha. But for me personally they're good enough to eat on their own.
