Do you just enjoy the white rice with your dinner or would you rather buy the flavored rice in a box? I like to cook white rice once in a while and add chicken bouillon flavor to it and then add salt and butter to taste. I also don't really mind the boxed rices with chicken or beef flavoring.

I love all kinds of rice, white, flavoured, different brands of rice, like indian basmati, boxed rice or rice combinations like shrimp friend rice, or curry rice etc.

Rice is too high in calories for me to enjoy very often. I like it with butter and salt but haven't had it for ages. I really like wild rice but it's so expensive I never buy it.

I never buy the flavored rice, but I do add stuff when I'm making it. I'll add boullion cubes (or powder) to the water when I'm making rice, it's nice because the rice absorbs the flavor while it's absorbing the water. Another way I make rice flavored is to put the rice into a frying pan with about a Tbsp of margarine, then I keep stirring it around and 'frying' it until it's golden brown, then I add the called for water and cook it the rest of the way like the bag says. Another way I do the fried rice is to add a little soy sauce, or worchestershire sauce, and some broken up noodles before frying it golden brown. Then when it's cooked the rest of the way with the water, it has a real wonderful nutty taste to it. It's a nice way to get rid of those bits of broken noodles lol.
