So that's why it's called a potato ricer.

If rice becomes large enough to eat by ones and twos, will we start calling a single grain a rouse?
Rice is great if you’re really hungry and want to eat two thousand of something.
It’s one of the few foods I can fully indulge. I want to eat two thousand of everything.

We would need a couple centuries to figure out how to cook it.
Nah just skip the drying process after you harvest it and sell it fresh.
I mean what do you even do? Boil em? Mash em? Put them in stews?
How had Hobbits, with countless meals in one day, never stumbled upon the simple Roast?
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
Can't wait for my mashed rice
You can mash potatoes with a ricer
But can you mash rice with a potatoer?
Rice pudding, rice porridge, rice gruel, rice cakes, rice noodles, rice rolls, mochi, tteokbokki
Okay you got me on all those. Mashed rice is great.
Bánh cuốn 🤤
mochi is pretty popular
Not for dinner though.
Don't underestimate the Japanese
That's called ttoekbokki.
Or bánh if you're in Vietnam.
Yes... I've certainly never had mochi for dinner, that would be silly of me 😰 .
I just realized I'm an adult too. Hmmmmm
okayu ?
Like Pad Thai?
For medium sized rice, consider mochi or tteokbokki.
Isn't Mochi just small rice that's been physically abused until it becomes sticky and squishy?
Uwu
OwO even
Exactly.
It's a different kind of rice referred to as glutinous rice.
So get this
We have Long Grain Rice like the Australian Doongara variety and Indian Basmati variety, Medium Grain, and we also have Short Grain Rice some varieties of which are quite wide, such as Bomba Rice.
I think Bomba's probably what you'd be interested in.
Rice with the husk on seems larger and has more nutrients to carbs ratio but it's not very tasty. Probably the largest overall grain is called "Tilda Giant Wild Rice".

"Holy sheet!"
Baked rice?
Mashed rice?
Frenched fried rice?
Stuffed rice?
Rice Au Gratin.. ..the list is endless..
Yet the list ended. It's fine. Aight? /s
jacket rice
rice crisps (british "crisps")
That parable about the emperor asking for double the number of grains on each successive square of a chess board would be fucked of rice grains were that big.
And then when trying to place the 33rd batch they ended up with a negative number of grains somehow
Not like its easy with rice the size of rice
Yeah, that's like... 250 billion tons of rice. That's over 30 tons of rice per person in this world. Not sure this much rice even exists on this planet.
We humans never stop innovating
I’d like to see what rice would look like after a few hundred years of selecting for grain size
