Like White On Rice
I've recently started eating brown rice again and I've discovered a problem. There is no way that brown rice and white rice can both be called rice. They taste nothing like each other. It's as non-sensical as callling a daikon (白萝卜) a white carrot (萝卜) . As you can see, the Chinese already do this but that still doesn't excuse this problem with the rice.
I don't care if they come from the same plant and one is a processed version of the other. After all, pork changes it's name to ham and bacon as it gets processed. I don't know who is getting the greater disservice, but I still maintain that they can't both be called rice.

Oh, but what about basmati rice or jasmine rice? They are very different too. =)
Don't hate. it's just a little husky.
Hm. Growing up a daikon was just a luobo and a carrot was a hongluobo (a red daikon). Just as non-sensical.
Hey, I'm not hating! I purposely didn't indicate which one I liked better. They're just so ... different.
