June 29, 2007 Uncle Ben's Ready RiceRice is easy. Rice is cheap. Rice is quick. Rice is good.
I guess the challenge, of whether $1.89 for a bag of instant rice that serves two would actually be any good, was just too much for me.
Exactly! The brown and long grain were gummy and slightly overcooked, truly tasting of cardboard (not that I eat cardboard all that often). One taster suggested we add salt. Using 1/4 teaspoon (enough to make it about 300 mg per serving) simply made these taste like salty cardboard. The other two were also as expected. Gummy, overcooked, salty, fake flavored rice. Rice is so easy, so cheap, so quick and so good that you don't have to eat products like these. Try these Dr. Gourmet recipes: |
