I guess when the supply of really cheap labor dries up, one must adapt or go out of business.
They still grow rice in GA & SC, it’s just production in the Delta has dwarfed the latter.
But I get what you’re sayin’. (btw - cheap labor wasn’t)
Catnip, I have to disagree. The best rice is any quality brand of kokuho (which means “treasure” in Japanese). I usually mix 2 parts kokuho with 1 part sweet rice. Some people call kokuho rice “sushi rice”. Sushi doesn’t mean sashimi, sushi means rice.
It’s carb weekend and I’m having rice again.
It’s literally in my Zojirushi cooking as I type.
Having grown up in the very deep south of paternal/maternal extraction; Mobile/New Orleans - a meal is whatever is served with rice.., and I’m having rice and gravy with home grown maters for supper.. :-)
Heck, just dump a heated can of mushroom soup over the rice and I’m in heaven.
I’m.
In.
Heaven.
