Is your meal ever complete without rice?

when i was new in germany i can´t live without rice.but now i eat rice maybe 3 times in a month and thats it.

You betcha, here you can take a look at the dinner I had tonight. It was a pasta dish, with whole grain pasta, black eyed peas, mango salsa, celery, black beans, onions, and fresh bell peppers. And I had a corn tortilla on the side along with a cup of water. Nope no rice for me. I'm not a huge rice fan anyway.

I have learned to eat pasta in place of rice.When shortage of rice becomes a problem again here in our country I can survive with pansit ,saba banana ,cassava and gabi.Doctors always blame rice for being overweight.They say to cut down on my rice intake that is why I try to learn to eat different sources of carbohydrates.

We don't eat that much rice, maybe once a week. We eat potatoes, and noodles for starch in our diet. We only eat rice with Indian or Mexican food.

Yes, I love the rice. I would say that it is as equal as potatoes for me now. When I go to my favorite Chinese Restaurant I always load the plate with plenty of rice. Although I do not eat rice every day. Crocket.

I wish! I occasionally make rice and eat it with soy sauce - although not with every meal. Usually only meals with vegetables (like stir fry). My "meal" staple is usually soup or bread, as boring as it sounds. :/

i like sticky rice in a banana leaf with pork chunks otherwise i don't like it, i don't like just plain white rice, some black wid rice is o/k.

If your talking about meals, there should definitely be rice around the table for me. Its part of any meal of mine. You can't consider snacks as meals, after all so.. that's that.. There are also lots of rice varieties.. I really like good smelling ones, it makes me have more appetite (^_^ )

i love rice. my meals always has rice. a can eat burgers and pasta and even salad but i'll make it a point that my next meal would have rice in it.

A meal with rice is always better in keeping me full and energized but I can do without it. I just try to balance my meals depending on their nutritional content.

I am a ricey person. And my hubby always buy me a packet of rice coz he knows my day is not complete without rice and i always feel depress without eating rice and beside mash potatoes makes me sick. But during sunday dinner i am not eating rice, coz it's an english way to have a roast beef, veg's and mash potatoes and that's the rule of my hubby but the rest of the days i can have my rice all the time. Happy posting.

Hello aiza! Wow! It seems that you're a "suki" here in Philippines interests..hehehe..Anyway, I can't stand it if I can't eat rice every meal. It's as if I am always craving for food or something. Right now, I don't eat rice, I am really hungry..

I cannot take a meal without rice, that is the truth. Since we were children, our parents taught us to eat more rice with less viand to make our food enough for everybody since we are many in our family. That's why until now, i can eat two cups of rice every meal with just a small amount of viand, especially if it's dried salted fish. :D

Rice is one of the staple diets especially in the southern part of India. I too like rice. I need to have rice in atleast of my meals. After you have consumed rice you feel like you have had something. Meal is incomplete without rice.

i am a single mom of four children and rice makes them be full than bread. and if i buy bread it turns out to be more expensive than cooking rice. sometimes i cook pansit or spagetti on dinner and we eat it with bread but most of the times we eat rice. we eat salad and pizza when we eat out but at home we eat rice rice rice.

We don't really have a "staple" in America. Except I live in Texas. And boy if you don't have meat and potatoes on your plate your in trouble! lol :)

RICE: The real meal deal.I was sick with the flu when I was 15, and the only thing that I wanted was hamporado (chocolate flavored rice porridge). My Nanay (mother), frantic with me already for being sick, was able to whip up hamporado after 10 minutes.

I can go without rice for three straight meals but that's it. Afterward, I really have to have rice. The good thing with rice is that you can serve it in many ways. Aside from the usual boiled rice, sinangag (fried rice), lugaw (pooridge), and champorado (rice pooridge with cocoa/chocolate)are the most common/ordinary way of serving it. Of course, we have now java rice and different rice toppings. (Thanks for the fast food chains and some restaurants who popularized these dishes.) More rice please!

rice is my staple food and i eat it daily two times. as i am indian we eat it daily with some curries or we eat rice as biryani items means different flavoured rice. we get many calories when we eat rice and indians are too much fond of it and they can;t take other food ,when they go outside their country. and our meal won;t complete without rice. we feel good only after we eat rice .pastries,burgers ,and other foreign food can;t fill our stomach,but taking small quantity of rice can fill our stomach. we take rice with so many curries like egg curry ,potato curry,spinach curry etc .we eat rice with vegetarian or non vegetarian curries. and lastly we take rice with yogurt. for small kids also we put cooked mash rice with some dal in it.

It depends on the meal. There are some dishes in which you have enough sides or carbs that will fill you up. So you eat steak with rice? Well, I prefer my steaks with either some mashed potatoes or some baked potatoes, that's sooooo good.
