Thanks everyone for all your comments. Since we are talking
about rice, I have one more question: Since many brands are sold
nationwide, which brands do you prefer and which are not so
good and you tend to avoid?

Frankly, I don't think it makes much difference. I buy domestic (it's
usually bug-free, unlike imported) rice on price in the supermarket
except for speciality rices like Bismati (Texmati actually from Rice Tec
of Texas). I don't like the smell of imported Bismati rice when it is
cooking. It reminds me of mice and I do know that smell! There are some
speciality rices that I have never really investigated like that for
sushi but I don't make my own sushi either. Part of the sushi experience
is going to a good restaurant and selecting from the offerings of an
expert Itamae on the spur of the moment.


Frome one brain dead problem to another?

Fidiot!

Sounds like Wartz.
