In my other discussion, I declared my love affair with white rice 
. One of the mylotters, much2say, sort of got me thinking about trying brown rice. I have only tried it once and I did not like it. Since then, I avoided it and never tried it again. Then that discussion inspired me to try it and cook it for dinner tomorrow. I found a recipe for Brown Spanish Rice. I have most of the ingredient except for 1 major one - brown rice!
I am not really adventurous in a sense that I have qualms in trying something new. But I learned a lesson that we'll never really know unless we try.

@Raine38 I am not a fan of brown rice either. Porridge was tasty actually. White rice porridge is bland, but with the brown rice it has more flavors especially when you put the chicken in also. I don't like wheat bread either ... I eat it but I totally prefer white bread.

I ended up cooking the brown rice cajun style. I had some cajun seasoning, some peppers, kielbasa and some herbs. It was good. I will still make it spanish rice style, but it will take a little longer to cook than usual. Maybe I will try on a weekend when I have more time to prepare it.

I like both kinds and get the brown basmati rice which I find delicious. Brown rice, like whole wheat bread is far more nutritious too. I like that nutty taste, but it does need to cook longer.

I like both white and brown. I also like black Imperial rice as well as wild rice. And I like jasmine rice and sushi rice. I think my favorite right now is a particular brand of Calrose white rice.

I used to eat white rice but after many articles said that brown rice was more healty so i tried to eat brown rice. For the first, I didn't like at all, but I kept to eat it because healthy. After several month I Felt my stomach flatter and I lost my weight too. So I'm the brown rice lover now. :D

There isn't a variety of rice I've tried that I didn't like. I think it all depends on what you do with it. Eating it plain is just... bland. Rice is one of those foods that can be amazing in the right dish.
