The canned Spanish rice I get is from Mexico. I think it's La Preferida or something like that.

That's the one we didn't like. Weird texture.

I can't even imagine why anyone would buy canned rice let alone eat it.

It's a near instant meal. We used to get some that was very good. The wild
rice is very good.

Judging the worthiness of food without ever seeing or tasting runs
rampant here. I've never seen the stuff myself. It sounds pretty wild. I
have seen white and brown rice in bowls but never canned. If I see this
stuff in the stores, I'll get it - unless the price is too dear. Of
course, I'd make kim chee fried rice with it.

You can buy it in pouches. I used to keep it for times when I was so ill
that I didn't feel up to cooking even rice. But never again. The last
pouch I opened came out smelly and black. Seems too easy for those pouches
to get a pin prick type hole that you wouldn't notice but it is enough to
make the contents go moldy. My mom used to buy the little cups for my dad.
I have also seen frozen rice.

But around here, Teriyaki shops are as common as drive through coffee
places. So if I am out and for some reason need cooked hot rice, I will go
there.

There are lot of things about the world of Bove that most of us cannot
imagine.

You'll be happy to know there were no cans involved in tonight's dinner
although there was a jar of hamburger dills. I made burgers with Colby
Jack. Mine had no cheese. Fresh lettuce, tomato and white onion. Jo Joes,
coleslaw and melon on the side. I wasn't very hungry. I only had the
burger and a few leftover pickled beets. I guess those did come from a can
but I opened it a few days back. It was a freebie.

For everybody who's never heard of jo jo's (which included me up until
a minute ago), they're potatoes:

Good! Let's just keep it that way.
