it`s not cultural loyalties
my ma eat some take out yesterday and can tell they use a different brand than her`s(pheonix brand)
I find texas long grain abit course for my taste.
people who eat rice for decades develope a preference to certain brands.

The only kind of rice I know I don't like is brown rice.  I've never tasted jasmine or basmati rice, but I'd like to.

They're both good. Many Chinese and Thai restaurants will give you these if you ask.

I wouldn't recommend it. Zatarain's makes good long grain rice.

My favoriate is Wild Rice , of course that isn't really rice at all.

The brown rice I have tried tastes like cardboard. Small icky bits of cardboard. LIke chewing the newspaper. Ick!

I like Valencia short grained rice, mixed with pastini and spiked with something buttery-tasting, saffron and garlic. I add peas, diced bell peppers, both red and green, chicken or shrimp. It all microwaves in about 20 minutes.
