What's wrong with S.A rice?

[UB40]

A bit off topic. For the first time in years I bought Kellogs Rice krispies and they had a weird plasticky taste, they're also very pale compared to what I remember.

Everyones tastes buds are different these days, most people blame Covid for this

Our rice went downhill a while ago.

Ide like to say we’re getting cheap rice from china but I’ve had cheap rice from china and it’s still better than this!

I just stick to basmati now, much nicer.

yea Before the China Mall died a slow death we would go there with the primary purpose of buying brown rice and basmati rice, R80 for a 5kg bag but was a few years back.

I've never liked the "Tastic" rice, jasmine rice FTW.

They indeed are. It's cos of the GMO rice and corn that they use now.

Hahaha that's got nothing to do with it, there is nothing wrong with GMO. The issue is rice crispies have no rice anymore it's Multigrain crud formed into rice shapes.

Oyeah.. very friendly.
I like their greeting "Shap shap"

Though I'm a bit surprised by the large number of beggars around the streets.
The locals say it is the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, people lost jobs.

But my guts tell me that this is the byproduct of the Apartheid era. Why white beggars are very few to none?

However, they are not hostile. They ask for coins, you give them.
If you don't, they go on with their business.

Come to the other side of the boerewors curtain and you will see plenty white beggars.

Why does franchise type estabblishment rice taste so k@k?

I am talking Ocean Basket and Nando's, I know there more, but those two are main culprits.

Probably the sweat and mucous from the perspiring cooks in the kitchen.

Can't say I have tried franchise meals that include rice.

In b4 "SAfrican rice is too white"

@EastAfricaGuy would care to post pics of your typical meal so we can see what non-plastic tasting food looks like?

Last meal I ate at home before boarding the plane to S.A.

 

[kory]

Oooh.. Now I get it. Won't complain any more.

By the way, to be specific, I am from Tanzania.

Just avoid parboiled and buy Jasmine or basmati. If you want to make pudding you can also do sushi rice.

 

[LazyLion]

Basmati is not rice... it's grass....
