Sounds nice sockie mcsock, but when I go to a so-called “ethnic store”, as a white-bread toast boy I find it tres intimidating. I look around and see stuff that looks like oyster sauce, but the words on the label look something like this:
Which for all I know could mean paigow spunk!!!
I.E, I no cannot read it so good. And the price of a full-time shopping translator is too rich for my blood. Not to mention that most of us busy lawyer type persons have no time after work to go carousing here or there to find one of these mythical “ethnic stores”.
Also, apropos of the original Uncle Ben reference, ethnic rice has a bad ass reputation. It can take a very long time to cook, and based on experience it’s quite e-z to wreck and then you end up with a pan of gloop.
I’m more partial just using plain old Uncle Ben’s or Minute Rice, the five-minute versions and flavoring them with some good old boy seasonings and spices and beans and stuff. BAM! Also, at Costcos or Uncle Sam’s Club, you can buy the stuff in bulky boxes, although not a five year supply of instant rice but maybe like 100 kilos. My mom always told me buy in bulk , especially all of the nonperishable stuff. Stock up from the cheapest source possible for a rainy day as those ethnic stores are a pain in the ass to get to when you really have a hunkering for some rice.
Anyway, that’s my .02. Opinions?
