Calrose is better than jasmine but it's no basmati

Ummmm, haven't you heard of this thing called "time"?

That's what makes it dank

Omg I'm so sorry 🫂

Curious, if you have basmati rice available, what are you using the jasmine rice for?

Please tell me you cook the brown rice on its own first before adding the white rice in order to compensate for the difference in cooking time 🙏🏾

Funny you say this because I didn't learn about the distinction between types of rice until I married a desi person. My father-in-law has said before "if I haven't eaten rice, I haven't eaten".

If a white person makes Bengali rice pudding with basmati rice, the ghost of a Bengali will possess their toaster and burn all their bread in retribution.

So my spouse is desi, and in south asia they've got loads of different kinds of rice. The most popular, everyday rice, is basmati - once I got a taste of it I was hooked. Other rices are used for specific purposes, like rice pudding, but basmati is the default. In the US (and most of Asia far as I can tell) the default rice is jasmine, the conflict here was between my parents and my wife, combining both rices is a mortal sin.

It was actually a bit surprising when we moved to China that there was only really one kind of rice ever used - buying basmati was just as much a specialty item here as it was in the states.

You say that like it's a bad thing

You'll never take me alive!

Right? I put off rewatching it for so long bc watching him play a woman felt wrong. But it's the name that feels most wrong

If you don't care plz just keep scrolling thx
