I have always hated rice. I hate the way it looks. I hate the way it smells when it's cooking. I hate the texture of it, to me it's like chewing on little bugs. And it only tastes worse to me when I put soy sauce or some other thing on it.
Every time I tell someone that I don't like rice they look at me in shock. Please tell me I'm not the only one who hates it.
Sorry, you are the only one. And how would you know what chewing on little bugs is like anyway? Speaking as the king of a whole lot of little bugs I find that quite worrying.
Actually, the little bugs comment just makes me love rice even more. I can eat rice with chopsticks and pretend it's little maggots.
Hey, I wasn't talking about termites despite the fact that many animals, including primates, find them tasty. It probably is pretty gross though as it's the meal worms that they feed lizards which actually have pretty good protein.
Termites, or "my people" as I'm fond of calling them, are very important "insects"*. We provide many valuable services and we're very social (we like to move it, move it). Please don't hold our cousins, the cockroaches, against us. Unless of course it will keep you from eating us, then by all means freely associate.
* FWIW, we rather detest being referred to as "bugs". I was just having this same conversation with a particularly snooty terrestrial isopod that insisted that arthropods were superior, to which I answered, let's see who's still around when these asshole nuke each other. He had no answer for that so we continued to play golf.
I dunno, I just imagine that bugs are squishy like rice. TBH rice actually kinda looks like those long white termites in a bowl.
Normal. Everyone has a food they don't like. For me it's coconuts or sauerkraut.
