What's "better stuff"? We favor plain, long-grain rice. My husband typically
cooks it with salt and a dab of butter, then eats it with reduced chicken or
turkey stock in lieu of gravy. Jasmine, basmati, or other fragrant rice
would be intrusive to the flavor profile he's looking for.

We use basmati for Indian cooking, though.
