I have lived in Asia for a long time and of course rice is important Thais say "kin Cow" means to go eat but literally means - Eat Rice :P I was always frustrated that I could not get Indian Rice "just right" until I learned - of course from an indian mum that looked at me like I was stupid lol - thank you - Mums are the best.
