@freemo Well yes and no. There is white rice that cooks quickly and then there is parboiled which doesn't have the husk and takes longer to cook. It turns out white, but isn't called white rice - White rice is white even before cooking. Can't see our grocery change being that different over here ...

@freemo Oh I disagree which your characterization that white rice is faster and thus more texture. It's actually the other way around, par boiled as far more texture.

@freemo I personally don't care for wild rice as the husk never becomes soft enough in my opinion. Brown rice husked isn't bad though.

@freemo No, no. Parboiled is hard rice, white rice is similar to Ben's converted rice here. It's quick to cook, that's how it's marketed.

@freemo That's why humans for centuries don't eat unhusked rice. But seriously there are only two types of rice that are used in most cooking. White Rice and Converted Rice. White Rice is marketed as quick to cook and is often called 'converted'. Parboiled is never referred to as 'white' rice.

@freemo I'm not arguing with you what parboiled is - I'm jsut telling you it's not called white rice. Never heard anybody call it that. Wikipedia's articles are the last word in anything ... But I'll take a look.

@freemo That's categorically wrong. All one has to do is open a bag of converted rice and compare it to something like Uncle Bens rice to see the difference. Trust me.

@freemo I've got a 50lb bag of parboiled rice. It's not white and takes approx half an hour to cook. White rice or converted rice will cook in about 5 minutes.

@freemo I stand by my words. There are only two types of rice sold (other than wild rice). Instant rice (converted) or parboiled. If it's not one of the two then it's what is referred to as wild rice. I have been cooking for over 50 years, and have taken a few cooking courses in that time period too. Perhaps the definitions you're using is wrong, but I'm telling you that's how rice is marketed here across the pond.

@freemo I'm not denying that. But parboiled isn't the same thing! It's not 'instant' rice. Geesus.

@freemo Parboiled rice has this tinge to it. Converted rice is soft and bright white before cooking. That is referred to as white rice. It’s softer b4 cooking whilst parboiled is hard and takes 20 minutes to an hour to cook al dente.

@freemoNo converted rice is fast food, parboiled (what is marketed as parboiled) is regular rice. Basmati is similar to your definition of white rice.

@freemoI’m very clear on the terms. I’m going on as to what the terms mean in the real world, you not so much.

@freemo I’m not confusing anything, my dear man. Sometimes you should just admit you’re wrong and move on.

@freemo I’m not using any terms wrong - that’s the way they’re used in the restaurant industry for generations. There wouldn’t be any discussion if converted rice wasn’t around. It’s the worst thing ever to eat.You’re such a disingenuous guy.

@freemo I suspect you bring out emotions in many people when discussing things. Anyway, I talk to people the way I would talk to them in person. Not many people will stand up to me as I’m rather imposing physically, yes even at my old age. So if you don’t like my discourse, and the way I deal with arseholes feel free to mute all my conversations. I really don’t give a shit.
