Ketchup on Rice
I stared at the soft, white ovals on my plate that not only tasted bad but were not even worth it from a nutritional standpoint. I don't understand how anyone likes plain white rice for it is the blandest food I've ever tasted and certainly needs someone to season it. Maybe it would be palatable with a sprinkle of dill weed and pepper. That is not enough, so I could add Worchester sauce to it, too. Actually, the only way to make it really tasty is a blob of ketchup mixed throughout the rice. YUM!
As my Sweetie and his brother would say, rice (or potatoes) is the socially acceptable excuse to eat butter and gravy. Just a carrier, that's all it is, of the stuff you really want.
ReplyDeleteI like white rice with butter and a little salt and pepper. Have a great day.

Totally transformed in a curry, or just fried with eggs, salt and pepper. Yum.

Rice is not among my favorites but I find ways to eat and even enjoyit. Ketchup - not on my table.
ReplyDeleteI guess we are all different, because I find ketchup revolting!
ReplyDeleteMake it puffed rice and add some chocolate. Okay, a lot of chocolate.
ReplyDeleteEverything with a mountain of ketchup as one young man was oft to say!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mimi...and R's Res, for that matter.

No, there's tasty rice out there and myriad ways to serve it. Although ketchup does go with everything,it's true. I've never put it on rice, but potatoes yes.
ReplyDeletePlain white rice is kind of staple here, sometimes for health related reasons and at other times to be topped with a variety of beef or chicken and many different vegetables and seasonings.
ReplyDeleteHowever this SSS reminds me a lot of some children who add catsup to almost everything because they just really like catsup.
Rice is one of our staples. But I can't imagine having to eat it without any of our curries! Great take!
ReplyDeleteHoly smokers! Ketchup? I don't know about that, lol.
ReplyDeleteGive me a bowl of it, some butter and salt and I'll take of it pronto :D
Good to see you at the Six, Joyce!
