    Man, rice is the absolute best. Cheap, easy enough to make, can be used so many different ways, filling, goes with really anything savoury, easily flavoured. If you’re having something you don’t like, you can almost dilute it with rice as an unpleasant flavour neutraliser 😂

      And if you like sweet - rice pudding is a classic. And can be fancied up almost infinitely.

        I tried rice pudding when I was really young, but I didn’t like it. But I was a fussy eater, and it probably came out of a dented, luke warm can missing a label that had been in the back of the cupboard for 2 years. I’m keen on giving it another go eventually!

          Look up the Backyard Chef on YT - he’s a patronising bastard, but his recipes are legit and his rice pudding is sublime! An old fashioned plain cook and a very good one. What he can with 3 potatoes, half a cabbage and a rasher of bacon is little short of astounding.
          I like a good rice pud - but a bad one is truly horrible and I can quite see why it might not have suited you back then. Let me know if you want the recipe that I use.
