I remember hearing brown rice was healthier? Although i'd prefer it fried if i had to eat it 'plain' versus steamed (but i dont think unless we were out that i'd eat rice on its own without meat if not like a fried egg)

rice obsession on manga will never not make me sigh out loud
Missing your hometown food is understandable but all these make me wonder if it's not some conspiracy theory/additives the same way ppl get addicted to soda/chips but i hear it's less common in japan/you have to go outta your way to get 'unhealthy' food or so

i'd prolly miss something like burgers more but they do have decent meat, dragon aside so i'm sure ppl could make some makeshift one with sliced/toasted bread if not something like a 'panini'

I just want to say, white rice was a man made byproduct of many many years of crossbreeding different types of rice in our actual history. Seeing white rice in these manga about just suddenly finding already white rice is wild/annoying to me since it is so clear that so many authors don't look at all into the history of rice. I can get wanting rice, finding rice and even shortcutting the crossbreeding of rice in these stories using magic to speed up the process, but already have white rice is ridiculous to me, specially with it stated that rice in this world is just animal food which means there has been no need to make it white if its just going to be used by the worlds residents to feed animals.

A quick google search says that white rice is just polished brown rice. I am a bit curious about how the history of cross breeding is relevant. Did it just make it easier to polish? Could you enlighten me?

I'm surprised there's not some 'official' channels from some established JP farming groups that'd have like a bunch of youtube channels about the process of it but i feel like all the isekai writers that do slice of life stuff even if there's cooking probably never actually lived in/visited a rice paddy

I wonder if JP rice just tastes better 'room temp' or chilled, bc i know onigiri is popular, and thinking about it, ppl bringing bentos to school i don't think i've ever seen any teenager in animanga being like "Brb i'm gonna microwave the lunch i got from home" but i can't imagine even if the rice is room temp having meat chilled but i'm just used to hot foods (even tho if you go to a konbini apparently they'll ask you if you want it warmed up so who knows maybe there are stuff off screen like that)
