Your Favourite starch - and are you eating enough starch?

I'll post a new thread about rice...

I'll tell you a story about growing it.

That's interesting - most Thai dishes I know of use white rice. Why brown for Thai but not Indian?

I never see brown rice here for Indian cooking, but I do see it (about half the time) for Thai. I do know (academically) that India does sometimes use brown rice, but I really love the white basmati rices in combination with the Indian dishes I've had or cooked on my own.

I think both brown and white rices provide health benefits - just different ones.

I prefer basmati with Indian too. Its aromatic and it is much better at setting off curry flavours (I think).

@Yorky - do you see brown rice used in Thai dishes in Thailand?

We don't eat out much but on the times that we have, I can say that I've never seen brown/black rice served in a local restaurant. Don't forget that I'm out in the sticks, not in the metropolis. My snooker mate eats out a lot in Bangkok, I'll ask him tomorrow.

If I remember, of course.

I've stayed in Bangkok a couple of times, I've never seen brown rice served. In hotel or eating out.

You should try stuffed kartoffelklosse, either with sauerbraten or sliced and fried in butter for breakfast!

Yeah sure, I will definitely give it a try.
