Hi guys .  Have you ever eaten rice ?

I'm live in Japan . I eat rice everyday.

I'm interested in foreigner's food customs.

So please tell me about you.  

About twice a week usually. Normally I have potatoes in some form with my meals.

As often as I can, I really like rice.

Not often (once every month at most).

Supposedly rice really loves to absorb pesticides, and it also contrains arsenic (a poison).
If you eat rice alot, your body is accumulating these things. (heart disease, diabetes and cancer, as well as development problems)

The right way to eat rice (safest way):
"Scientists claim rice should be steeped in water overnight to flush out the poison, and then it can be rinsed and cooked the next day."
No one I know does this, so its not really healthy to eat too often.

If you love rice remember these two:

1) Basically dont feed kids rice.
2) Remember to steep in water overnight, before useing it the next day.

Almost everyday, I would say 5-6 times a week.

When you eat it, do you just boil it and then eat it after?
or do you remember to leave it steeped in water, overnight before the day you eat it?

Because if you eat rice that often, you should probably be doing it the right way,
to minimise how harmfull eating that much rice can be.

Usually only boil it and eat it after.

i get chinese take out which is usually beef fried rice or sweet and sour chicken with fried rice prob about 2-3 times a month.

I also love Brazilian rice with picanha, just had that on mothers day. from what I can tell its regualr white rice, but has some of the best flavor in it, not sure what it is, since the neighbor makes it. but I cant get enough when she does.

I cook rice probably once a week usually to go with some chicken and or beans of sort, also with beef stews and my favorite cajun rice and jambalaya.

Kind of depends on the budget I am on.I dont like eating the same thing every day though, i have to change it up.

Enjoy your poisoning yourself then.
I guess the same could be said about people that smoke cigarettes.

Im just saying this because apparently alot of people dont know that rice can be harmfull when you eat it like that.

I eat more potatoes and pasta than rice. Rice I eat maybe twice or once a week.

In the mall of the Sky Tower, I ate this:

 
It was the best thing I ever ate. I do have to say, they always serve an extra bowl of rice in Japan.
