Is it normal to not chew rice?

12 Comments

My friend recently revealed to me that he doesn't chew rice. This of course led to one of the dumbest debates I've been in. I am now asking the internet.

    That’s for super poor people. So it continues to expand in your stomach and make you feel fuller.

    Joking aside when I was a kid I had a mate and his mum didn't chew peas.

    I chew yoghurt. So you should definitely chew rice.

    You chew anything unless it's liquid. And things like jelly, mousse, icecream don't count as liquid.

      Mousse and icecream are surely those inbetweeners. Where you don't chew. And you don't straight swallow. Just kind of squash it between your tongue and the roof of your mouth.

    I don't chew rice either. It's pretty soft and goes down easily.

    It's way too hard to chew, you'll break your teeth.

    I have GERD so I chew anything that isn't liquid, jello, or pudding. I also don't eat anything I don't like, because food that I don't like tends to taste even worse the second time I have to taste it.

    I'm sure rice ends up looking pretty much the same regardless of whether you chew or not.

    White rice falls apart pretty easily, so I can't see how chewing it to break up the fibres is all that important for digestion. Since it doesn't really taste of anything much, chewing doesn't exactly increase the enjoyment of the meal either.

    You're right: it's a damn silly thing to have an argument about.
