Ive recently heard the following statements in tv ads or just other people-

"Rice is the perfect side dish"
"Rice is an excellent addition to any meal"
"Rice is great when you want a little extra to improve your meal"



That is NOT how rice works!!!!!

I have alarm sirens go off in my head whenever i hear statements similar to the ones above.

Rice is not a side dish or an extra to a meal, Rice IS the meal, any meat or vegetables you have inclued are your extras or side dishes!! Any other treatment to rice is disgraceful.

Yay or nay?

extra topic - what food related actions/opinions of other people offend you?
