if you are a bread person can you last a day without eating bread? if you are a rice person can you last a day without eating rice? i am a rice person and i also eat bread. i can last a day without eating rice but that would be because i will be eating pasta. i cant eat bread the whole day without the erge to eat rice so in my diet it would be bread in the morning, rice at lunch and maybe pasta or fruit in the evening.14 people like this

I try not to be too dependent on any type of food... so i can live with rice or bread or even noodles for a very long time... like before... i experimented on only eating bread for like 1 month... no rice... and i survived it... without feeling weak...

I am not a bread eater but I love my rice and you know how Italians are they love their pasta - spaghetti being my favorite. If I had to choose between rice or bread I would go with the rice for sure.

hi howard, how are you? my aunt is out of the hospital already but i think she lost her memory.
wow you really would choose rice over bread? i thought people from your country like bread better than rice. nice to know that you like rice. what is the best food you like to eat with rice?

I am glad to hear your Aunt is home, I hope she recovers fully. As for the rice I love anything with it, beef, pork or a nice plate of chicken with vegetables. I'll even be happy with a bowl of rice and a fried egg on top! LOL

you are a cool guy. i too can eat almost anything with rice. and when a lazy day is here i will just cook egg and put it on my rice. here in our country we cook rice manually i mean not on a rice cooker. we cook rice on a pot then out it on the top of the stove. we will wait patiently for that to cook. my children also knows how to cook rice that way. we also have rice cooker but we seldom use that because we are saving electricity, it cost too much so we lessen the use of electric appliances

my nieces and nephews love eating pancit canton too! they can eat it with bread and be satisfied with it. sometimes they eat it with rice too. but there are times that they can survive a day without eating rice.

I am a bread person and sometimes also eat pasta.
I could go without rice for a year or more and not miss it.
I like rye bread, sourdough bread and sprouted whole grain bread... I love sourdough rolls.
I like pasta as it is inexpensive and easy to prepare.

i'm a rice person. i am a filipino and we consider rice as our staple food. that's why the rice shortage here in our country is really depressing for us.

I don't eat rice at all, but do love fresh bread. I'm able to skip the bread, if its not fresh, but would have to avoid the grocery store in the morning when they are making fresh bread. I couldn't manage without some fruit and pasta and love fruit pizza.

ohh goodness... who can resist a sweet smell of fresh bread. hmmmm every morning we can smell that from our house because near us is a bakery. a hot coffee is a good way to pair with the bread. yum1 person likes this

i think you said the right words to explain why there are rice people and bread people it is because our stomach is used to it already. i also love pasta. i always cook pasta dish twice or once a week.

I love both rice and bread and without either is torture! When I went on a healthy eating diet I couldn't eat bread or rice for a month and it was hell. I lost weight but I really looked forward to my cheat days when I can enjoy my rice and bread! I would hate the thought of not being able to eat rice or bread ever again, but like most things, everything in moderation is not a bad thing. I now eat brown rice and brown bread and they're very filling compared to the white variety. That way I don't pig out as much!

when i work abroad i make sure i am always in a diet. for i work at nights. and it is hard to stay at fit when most of the people you work with eats rice before they sleep. i always go straight to bed after work so i wont see them eating rice. lol. but during sunday i pig out, i eat rice with them but only during sunday. they are also always looking forward for sundays just like i look forward to it.

I stoer unused in freezer. Since it dosent have all that junk in it it stales faster. Doesnt take long to thaw it so thats not a problem.

I just looked in a cook book and found a recipe. Mixed the ingredients together. Followed directions. Let it rise, punched it in the middle. Divided the dough in two. put in dough in loaf pans, let it rise again then basked it in oven. Really very simple. And worth every bite of it. Especially when i found the cheesa bread recipe.
