I hate Jasmine rice cause it smells like old people and tastes like potting soil. Who else feels the same?

I'm used to calrose rice cause it is neutral smelling and tasting! I can't stand that stuff!

I think it smells like popcorn...hmmm. old people and potting soil huh? I hope I don't start to see what you mean as I have a 15lb bag of it in the pantry!
Reply:I absolutely love jasmine. The tea, the flowers, everything...but the rice. It's like tasting cardboard. I was so disappointed every time I tried it.
Reply:Calrose is good but Jasmine isn't all that bad... If you buy an expensive and good quality one you might change your mind.
Reply:Try Basmati. It's a bit nutty in flavor. But you might think it tastes like gunny sack.





Jasmine is good for fried rice, with enough oil and soy sauce.
Reply:What does natural taste like? Nothings natural these days ,babes. Old people don't smell that bad. Potting soil? What did you eat as a kid?
