Just wondering, when you eat rice--what do you put on it? Nothing? something? what?
Not a terribly deep topic, but we share food opinions often.
So hopefully there is an option for everybody. You can pick up to three choices.

Not a rice expert. Just try to eat whatever is on the plate. Sometimes, when eating out, if I'm given flavoured rice such as cinnamon, I won't eat it.

Although on the surface an easy question, when you eat a lot of rice it isn't so easy. We eat a lot of rice and keep numerous types in the house. Sushi rice, dessert glutinous sweet rice, Basmati rice, American long grain and jasmine. Some are very specific for how you make/ eat them and some are just "good old rice"

If I have leftover white rice after a meal, I'll sometimes make a simple rice pudding kinda thing: heat it and sprinkle some cinnamon and sugar over it, and then some milk and eat it with a spoon. The milk gets all warm and cinnamonny.

Love rice, I’ll eat it with just about anything, especially plain old white rice.

It's a perfumed type of rice they sometimes serve in curry places over here

Definitely cinnamon, but it's probably the curry that's flavoured not the rice.

Yes, cinnamon sticks (not the sweet powder like what one buys in the store) are commonly used in Indian cooking. Thy might put a stick in the rice too, especially in a biriyani

It kinda depends on the rice. We have white rice, brown rice, risotto (usually with mushrooms) and wild rice. The only one that requires a topping is the white rice as it is pretty plain and tasteless. My wife usually serves it with a stir fry.

Expensive it may be, but it still ruins a good curry Now I need to ask the local Indian place if they use real saffron! I'm not sure if I have ever eaten the real thing or not.
