Why rice?

[badkuk]

i heard there are people somewhere down south cook/eat corn as rice. corn with ulam? ano kaya lasa? though gusto ko rin sya matikman

nakakain na ako nito sa Cebu. i think a few carinderias still offer this, and meron ding tinitinda sa palengke. Ground white corn i think. i can't remember how it tastes exactly, it was a bit bland compared to rice, but i didn't hate it either ^_^


i think the explanation is that the carbs in corn are harder to break down, so it stays in your tummy longer.


i saw that segment on fake rice from China. They've also come up with fake eggs made of gelatin and a cocktail of chemicals. If only they put that much creativity and work in producing real actual food
