but the jasmine rice is actually imported from Thailand

and it somehow costs more on Thai websites than in the local shop in Switzerland

is automated rice farming the future?

my only theory at this point is that we get the lowest-tier rice because people here don't care

probly 2nd tier or so rice

what does not meet the restaurant criteria

they usualy sell those dirt cheap

makes sense from that standpoint

kinda tastes the same though...

But the fully-automated rice farm in Italy is pretty cool

their round rice is quite sticky (a lot of starch) and perfect for sushi

I like jasmine rice the best but I eat so little rice a 5kg bag lasts me for 3-4 months

rice "should" taste pretty much the same specialy if you dont have godlike tastebud density

but the texture on them changes

unironically most of my carbs come from bread and pasta

I like jasmine rice, too, while my girlfriend strongly prefers to use round-rice for everything like the Japanese do

Medium grain is best all around.

long grain is the best

i have litlebit of everything on my kitchen

round-grain is for weebs

jasmine rice master race

and sushi

dog tastes like shit

it's meme

yes dog is disgusting

would never eat again

this

I didn't know it was dog and while eating it, I thought it was extremely overcooked, old and dry pork with a bad smell

needed to check local prices

2kg of long grain is 1.32 euros

0.66/kg

not that bad

Switzerland-tier prices

you can't really find rice below 2$ / kg in Taiwan for some reason

logistics are different probly

and they need to make living too

we usualy check against "supermarket prices"

where logistical chain is whole other level compared to asian countries

but yeah average price around here seems to be 2euros/kg or higher on any better rice

then the local asian market rise on 20-50kg bags
