Hello there! I can say that I can survive without eating rice. Though I am still used to eat it. I think before I can fully achieve it, I have to undergo a lot of preparations. If I will do that abruptly, that will be a crash diet which not healthy. So it should be done at a time. Less rice each day until no rice at all. We can also think of other alternative for rice. I'd like to be a vegetarian too but I have to sacrifice a lot of good foods to eat. Hehe!

I do not have rice that often, so I guess I could live without it. I do enjoy it as a change of pace. I especially like it with milk and honey and maybe some raisins and cinnamon. I consider this like a dessert. I can understand how you feel, though. I grew up in a German household and my father insisted on potatoes at every meal or he did not consider it a meal. While I can enjoy a potato from time to time, it certainly is not my first choice!

ya, for sometime got to enjoy having no rice. this is the story behind, when my mom had a high blood pressure that was the time all of us in the family had to skip from eating rice.
