Why are nips obsessed with this?

Rice is the most efficient culture if you have good irrigation setup.

Wheat and rice are both goat. Let's not fight.
It's potato, and other starchy root niggers that need to answer themselves!

It's what they eat but wheat based products are simply tastier. Rice is the most bland tasting cereal. Bread and pasta are light years further in both organoleptic and gastronomical qualities. Rice is literally fuel.

Oats/lentils are cheaper and better better what are you on about

Rice for nips is like burgers for mutts.

Lentils taste like shit no matter what. And to make oats palatable you need to cook them with milk into porridge.

>long grain
Fucking animal feed it’s all about short grain, medium grain if that’s all you can get

>oats/lentils

How is a horse using the internet?

>Lentils taste like shit no matter what
And white rice doesn't? What's wrong with ur taste

Lentil soup is great

>>Requires less processing compared to wheat that needs to milled into flour and further processed into bread or pasta.
This.
The Roman Legion had to mill their own damn flour in the middle of battle. Rice could be eaten without milling and that is massively efficient in hard times. Milling causes loss of edible food.

And when you want to, you can mill rice anyway if you want to make a dough.

Obviously the down side is that it relied on a good water source. And also the same plot of land could grow three times as much food if you grow potatoese instead. But potatoes is a bitch to store, and dried rice basically last forever if they keep it try.

For a long time, Old Japan basically used rice as currency. Your typical rice cup in a ricecooker holds enough rice for one meal. And 3000 old Rice Sacks, a Koku, are suppose to be enough to live off for a whole year.

And the "Koku" was the base unit in old Japan to pay salaries, to collect taxes, to reward and to fine. You could pay the government in literal rice, or you could pay gold and silver but in terms of rice.

And it is kind of interesting to see money as rice; it gives a different perspective. "I have enough rice to feed myself for X amount of years" is more physical than just an arbitrary number next to the $ symbol.

>why are nips obsessed with a staple carbohydrate that grows well in their local climate and geography, was grown for centuries there?
Same thing as wheat pasta for Italians, and HFCS for Americans.

not to go full West Best but wheat's a pretty powerful staple
10% protein, superior vitamin profile to rice
it isn't well suited to most of Japan, though, almost all of it is grown in Hokkaido today
however, it's the staple crop that marked out Japan as being unique amongst advanced nations after it started modernizing.
funnily enough, early on in the meiji modernization there was a cultural anxiety about rice being inferior to wheat, but eventually became a point of pride when the japanese achieved some self-confidence after eating british food rofl

You have to boil or soak lentils once and dump the water. Gets rid of the bitter taste.

>Wheat and rice are both goat. Let's not fight.

If you lack land, then potato wins because it is three times as productive calorie wise than rice.
>Oats/lentils are cheaper and better better what are you on about
Oats is not cheaper. Its main advantage is it can grow in harsh environments, but not cheaper if you need to buy it.

>wheat that needs to milled into flour
There are dishes that involve wheat grains, wheat doesn't need to be milled into flower to be consumed.
And if you are going to argue that wheat needs to be processed by pealing out the chaff well guess what, rice has a similar process.

I don't favor one over the other I think they both have their place.

Be honest, how many of you here don't know how to cook rice?

You should try it.

As an American I challenge you to buy standard white bread like schwebels or something and smell it, there’s so much shit in it it doesn’t even smell like food, it’s as close as you can get to edible paper

It's universal. I just had it for lunch.

What do muricans even eat? Besides burgers and pizza.

>buy rice cooker
>pour rice
>add water
>click cook button

>he doesn’t know you need to wash rice before you cook it

Chinese and Thai food. And americanized version of Italian food, like frozen lasagna.

Nigga just buy a loaf of bread, not hard.

>not washing your rice

French fries and kfc

spotted the burger.

>doesn't enjoy the delicious starch pancake created by unwashed rice

>There are dishes that involve wheat grains,
There is a reason you will struggle to find recipes for it. And half of what you find would involve making wheat tea.

Most people eat the over processed white bread that cheap bakeries aren’t that common in the US

>There are dishes that involve wheat grains
Of course there are. I'm talking about them in their most basic form. Rice literally just needs the right amount of water, heat and can be prepared in less than 20 minutes. It will be delicious even just like that.

It's not that simple for wheat grain. You could try the same, but it won't taste as good. You'd at the very least need roll them and boil them in milk.

>doesn't use the starch water to make fish soup

what is wrong with potato? unless you eat it by itself.
There was at least one recipe I loved since childhood.
It was pretty simple to prepare, you just boil some skinned potatoes mash them in a bowl with some boiled chicken eggs (enhanced with quail eggs), salt, cinnamon powder, black pepper, and olive oil.

>filling
>cheaply mass produced
>their island is suitable to produce it year round in most places
>easily can be used by others for the same purpose
>some can use it as trade currency

there is literally no downside.

Growing potato is fantastic if you actually need to feed yourself.

i heard that if you soaked your phone in the water you can dump it into a pile of raw rice to dry it.
