RIP Mitch hedberg
Can't wait for my mashed rice
Rice pudding, rice porridge, rice gruel, rice cakes, rice noodles, rice rolls, mochi, tteokbokki
mochi is pretty popular
Not for dinner though.
Yes... I've certainly never had mochi for dinner, that would be silly of me 😰 .
okayu ?
So get this
We have Long Grain Rice like the Australian Doongara variety and Basmati variety, Medium Grain, and we also have Short Grain Rice some varieties of which are quite wide, such as Bomba Rice.
I think Bomba's probably what you'd be interested in.
Rice with the husk on seems larger and has more nutrients to carbs ratio but it's not very tasty. Probably the largest overall grain is called "Tilda Giant Wild Rice".
That parable about the emperor asking for double the number of grains on each successive square of a chess board would be fucked of rice grains were that big.

"Holy sheet!"
Baked rice?
Mashed rice?
Frenched fried rice?
Stuffed rice?
Rice Au Gratin.. ..the list is endless..
We humans never stop innovating
I’d like to see what rice would look like after a few hundred years of selecting for grain size
