When it comes to rice, I'm not an epicure.

Me neither. Do you have a preference even for "white" rice vs. "brown" rice?

Not really. But I usually buy the white just out of habit.

Fell off the wagon and had a Hardees/Carl's Jr. Thickburger. It was pretty good, though. =)

Anyone ever try Sonic Drive-in?

They just opened up some here in the Central Valley of Northern California.

Of course! Uncle Ben's is a US product.

It's ok - I can eat it (though I don't prefer it). Based on BMWs comments he probably doesn't mind it either.

When I hear the advertisement :
Uncle Ben"s : It's always a succes, it makes me laugh. In french :" C'est toujours un succes" -_-
It's always a suxxes :sweat:

You can eat in 2 minutes, but then you need a lot of cream :mrgreen:

Dunno, haven't tried them. I live up in the SF Bay Area, but I saw one last night when I drove by through the town of Tracy.

I miss the old drive-in stuff... drive-in restaurants, drive-in movie theaters. I only know of 1 drive-in movie theater left in Northern California.

I ate at one about 5 years ago. They went out of business here. It was o.k. I was a little disappointed and it was too expensive for the quality and quantity of their food. It was a nice idea an old fashioned drive-in. Just poorly executed in my opinion.

Is the food supposed to be like A&W?

It was similar to what you find at A&W. They made a big deal of there deserts, burgers, and shakes in their ads. I prefered A&W for price and quality though.

There are a few A&W's left, but none that I know of that offer Drive-In style any longer.

I've tried it when I went to Southern California. They bring the food out to you wearing roller skates.

NEVER instant.

Rice Cooker. National/Panasonic. :)

i eat rice every day! rice cooker...not instant

Wow, Japanese instant rice was terrible. Only way to eat it was with curry, since the curry drowns out the horribleness... =)

And never, ever eat Uncle Ben's rice, if you know what's good for you. :hehe:

I eat white rice.

Tamaki Gold. About a good $15.00 for a 15lb bag. But the rice is great!

at my old school, they used to sell chicken teriyaki bowls for lunch and the rice was sooo nasty!!! eww...it was gross
