    Coriander. Its possibly the worst herb ever invented. It pollutes everything its put in with its evil soapy presence

    I hate rice. Any kind, any preparation. Waste of space.... to me.

    Agreed, I dont like grains of any kind. (rice, bulgar quinoa, etc) I would so much rather have a slice of bread or use my calories elsewhere.

    I cant stand smoothies or shakes. Its the texture. Its just all wrong.

    I don't like long grain plain white rice - yes...total waste of time. However Thai coconut rice/wild rice/brown rice/well seasoned is good.

    And although I'm more inclined to just have sashimi - sushi (quality) is really good. I also remember having a bowl of mushroom congee when I was not feeling too well...cured me lol! so yum...and then there's risotto or rice pudding....

    That being said, I haven't had rice for years🤣

    Don't much care for plain rice either. I get that you can use it to absorb sauce, but that's what bread is for :)

    Pilaf, risotto and fried rice, however, are delicious and I eat them often.

    FRIED rice is over rated and not worth the calories

    I guess this is unpopular...but I make rice all the time in various forms.

    I like plain basmati rice with a spicy Thai or Indian dish.
    I like a seasoned wild rice with grilled fish.
    I like a Japanese-style fried rice with chicken as a nice lunch.
    I like Mexican-style rice and beans with my tacos.
    I like risotto as a side dish with just about anything!

    Yes. Plain rice is something I'd not eat if other food were available or unless it was the only thing I could get down because of illness, and I usually tend to have a smaller rice portion so as not to waste calories on the least interesting bit of the dish, but there are definitely dishes/meals where the rice adds something as part of a combination.
