Rice or cheese?
A couple weeks ago, a bunch of us were sitting around in the staff room at Chapters. We began a conversation about food, and ended up talking about rice, and cheese. For some reason, we began talking about the importance of good rice. Followers of my journal may remember that I take rice very seriously. I do not consider minute rice to be real food, in the same way that I do not consider processed cheese to be real cheese. The participants of the discussion were of various ethnicities, although there were a large number of people of Chinese ancestry present.
Several issues were raised-
1. Why does cheese seem to be so popular with women? Is the love of cheese a female thing? A man named Irving noted that he had never seen any men freak out about cheese.
2. Myself, and a woman of Caucasian ancestry, stressed the importance of properly cooked rice, as did many of the others of full Asian descent. A woman of Italian descent noted that rice was not important to her, and that cheese was the most important.
