So my spouse is desi, and in south asia they've got loads of different kinds of rice. The most popular, everyday rice, is basmati - once I got a taste of it I was hooked. Other rices are used for specific purposes, like rice pudding, but basmati is the default. In the US (and most of Asia far as I can tell) the default rice is jasmine, the conflict here was between my parents and my wife, combining both rices is a mortal sin.
It was actually a bit surprising when we moved to China that there was only really one kind of rice ever used - buying basmati was just as much a specialty item here as it was in the states.
Jasmine? GTFO. Calrose stand up.
We do have some wild rice and brown rice, but Calrose is the workhorse.
I'm from Jersey. I jasmine. Never heard of Calrose, but I assume it's a product of California. Will have to keep an eye out.
Hi, Jasmine. I'm Dad.
Calrose is better than jasmine but it's no basmati
