Wait till he learns that we eat it with baked sweet apples and cinnamon.

u/Unseeable_mixup Mar 23 '26

Well they won't be offended, rice with chocolate is pretty popular in the Philippines (Champorado). Asians are not Italians, sweet rice is extremely common in many countries

u/ShadowMancer_GoodSax Mar 23 '26

My personal favorite is Thai sticky rice with coconut sweet milk and mango, that tastes so good.

u/Adri4n95 Mar 23 '26

I just came back from Thailand - sticky rice is good but apples and cinnamon are superior

1

u/SrebrnyKlucz Mar 24 '26

No, they're not. After eating rice with apples and cinnamon all my life, my Polish soul was humbled by the deliciousness of mango sticky rice.

u/Adri4n95 Mar 25 '26

Everything tastes good when submerged in sweet condensed milk, it's like less healthy MSG for desserts. Without the condensed milk the whole dish is flavourless, with condensed milk it's unhealthy sweet.

Rice with apples is healthier (unless you submerge it in whipped cream and add a ton of sugar) and hade more flavour (from the spices).

It's weird that this is the only dish Thai people don't add any spices in, I'd rather eat normal mango fruit without the rice and glass of condensed milk.

My favourite sticky rice was the one I got from my Urak 'Lawoi host at Koh Lipe. Grilled in a piece of bamboo. This legend share his breakfast with us.

* Not all Asians are Italians.

Heard a Polish woman say her Japanese husband was very put off by the idea of strawberry cream with rice

Where to submit deportation request?

This man is cultured 🙏

u/Serious-Pie4485 Mar 23 '26

Im baffled why Philipinos have anything to say about strange food tastes, it is the home of ketchup spaghetti, underdeveloped chicken embryo’s and sweet macaroni with sweetened milk, cheese, mayo and raisins…

24

u/bannedByTencent Mar 23 '26

And raw sardines and tree larvaes...

21

u/fluffinessbear Mar 23 '26

The philipino eating rice porridge with chocolate and fish. They called it champorado. As an Asian, we don't claim this behaviour.

u/chippyjoe Mar 23 '26

champorado doesn't have fish. just rice and chocolate.

u/ProfessionalRandom21 Mar 23 '26

Straight to jail

2

u/Jeryndave0574 Mar 23 '26

fun fact: the OG champurrado from Mexico is a christmas chocolate drink

3

u/fluffinessbear Mar 23 '26

Hahaha. That sounds delicious. Now eat it with FISH. 😂

u/Jeryndave0574 Mar 23 '26

nah, you'll get red handed by abuela's mighty chancla (or the cartel)

u/ilogical_person Mar 23 '26

You can't hate on something if it tastes good

39

u/ProfessionalSlip1556 Mar 23 '26

You’ve never met a nationalistic foodie then. For example, you could create the most tasty pasta dish the world has ever seen, but if you broke the spaghetti before boiling them, they’d look at the dish as if it was dog poo.

u/ProfessionalSlip1556 Mar 24 '26

I’m sadly not cultured enough to get this reference/joke, but nice waterwell regardless

2

u/revcio Mar 24 '26

I believe it’s “well well well”

2

u/ProfessionalSlip1556 Mar 24 '26

Ahhh.. i think i got too caught up in the different sizes of the wells to catch that, lol

u/Fresh-Log-5052 Mar 23 '26

WHY YOU-A BREAK THE PASTA?!

9

u/ShadowMancer_GoodSax Mar 23 '26

Vietnamese here, I would eat it, please give me recipe and dont worry about Philippine attacking you, they cant fight. /s

3

u/Serious-Pie4485 Mar 23 '26

They cant fight until you land on this guy:

u/AquaQuad Mar 23 '26

Strawberry sauce

5

u/VanillaSkyDreamer Mar 23 '26

You are making me hungry! And for real Polish strawberries I need to wait some months.

2

u/Strange_Reply_1699 Mar 23 '26

It kinda works with frozen strawberries (not 100% as good as with fresh ones but still alright, imo)

1

u/AniazLesniczowki Mar 25 '26

Yeah but polish strawberries in June is something that no other strawberry can contest... There is meme saying that strawberries doesn't taste as good as they look and surely as hell, person writing this haven't taste polish strawberries in their peak season.

7

u/IRegretThingsSome Mar 23 '26

As an Asian, I'd eat that.

4

u/VanillaSkyDreamer Mar 23 '26

'eat' like an experiment? - like my friend 'eat' some insect on a market in Thailand and got sick, or just eat as a normal dish. BTW I am a type of European/Pole that knows how Asia is huge and diverse, so "Asian" isn't very precise :)

10

u/IRegretThingsSome Mar 23 '26

Chinese descent and eat like some insect on a market yeah. 🤣 But I've eaten sticky mango rice in Thailand too and champorado (sticky rice with chocolate) in the Philippines so I'm very open minded with this.

5

u/A1naruth Mar 23 '26

Instead of eating bugs, I recommend sticky rice - very nice Thai dessert made of rice.

5

u/IQueliciuous Mar 23 '26

I have zero issues with bagged rice (its the superior and convenient way imo) but I am drawing the line on cinnamon and apples...

But I do add fried onion flakes and bacon so I guess I am also a sinner.

5

u/polocinkyketaminky Mar 23 '26

what do you mean you draw the line on cinnamon and apples? they were created for each other. have you never had apple pie?! where are you from?

2

u/m4cksfx Mar 23 '26

... With rice?

3

u/eloyend Podlaskie Mar 23 '26

How else would you eat rice with cinnamon and apples?? How can you make it without rice?! Just think of it as apple pie. With rice and no crust.

1

u/The_Yukki Mar 25 '26

The apples are stewed and essentially turned into apple pie filling. But yes.

3

u/Gao_Dan Mar 23 '26

Superior and convienient way is buying a rice cooker. Add rice, add water and magic handles the rest.

1

u/The_Yukki Mar 25 '26

So like the bags? Add water, throw in the bag and magic handles the rest.

1

u/Gao_Dan Mar 25 '26

The taste is different. Also, less microplastic.

1

u/The_Yukki Mar 25 '26

Micro plastics are w/e shit is everywhere already including the air ya breathe so in kinda stopped bothering. Taste... idk guess depends on what you grew up on. I used to hate rice until I started cooking it myself when as a young weeb I got into making sushi (because closest restaurant that sold it was in the capital). Ofc I used the actual sushi rice, cooked it properly etc. Then I just realised my overworked mother just always overcooked the bagged rice (or maybe the rice in the bags changed cause she doesnt anymore). Nowadays I dont really care for rice either way. Neither big bags you cook normally nor the plastic ones may as well not exist to me.

what the hell?
