That's right. You heard it here. I admit it..Tito is a ricist and damn proud of it.
WTF am I talking about? I am a rice snob. I've had many different types of rice throughout my life from basmati to to jasmine to wild. Then there's long grain, medium grain, short grain, white and brown. I realize that when it comes to arroz- give me white medium grain of the cal-rose variety. All others pale in consistency and flavor. Uncle Ben and Blue Ribbon-you guys bite. I'll take my stickier white rice over any other. Brown rice is supposed to be good and it's edible when it's freshly made but try nuking it the next day or eating it after a day in the rice cooker-dry, hard, and earthy. Not for me.
I use my medium grain when making Mexican style rice, Chinese fried rice, or just plain old rice. Sushi with any other rice is not sushi. Yeah, I'll eat long grain at a Chinese restaurant but I'd rather eat my cal-rose with that kung pao anyday.
Some people are coffee snobs, some are wine snobs. I'm proud to be a rice snob. I just had to get that off my chest.
