gringal Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 Someone coming here from the U.S. asked me to find out if Rice a Roni is available around here. I never ate it myself, but agreed to ask the question. I checked the Costco site; not there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyPanda Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 Invented as a cheap, quick meal with a brilliant marketing campaign. Will be priced as a luxury item at SuperLake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen White Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 Super Lake but you might need to take out a loan to buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 LOL! I remember coming back from Canada twice a year with a suitcase dedicated only to food items that I couldn't get in Mexico. When you deduct the cost of a roundtrip ticket, it's REALLY cheap in SuperLake. Then again, avocados are really expensive in Canada. Depends on how badly you want something. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also tell your friend that there are lots of flavors of packaged instant rices available here from Knorr and others, including noodle types, and in "10 minute" varieties, to which you can easily add ground beef, chicken, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 Like Hamburger Helper. Personally I don't buy any of them because they're full of chemicals and flavour enhancers (aka msg). But, if ya want something it's usually available in either Gourmet Garage or SuperLake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never ate it, never heard of it, but it says long grain and wild rice. What´s so bad about that? And why would they add chemicals to rice?

Ferret Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Ask them. Chicken Rice-A-Roni | RiceARoni.com click on the view Nutrition Information button to see what's in this package. This is what's in the Rice a Roni Long Grain and Wild Rice... Same with all the flavoured Uncle Ben's Rices. The Monosodium Glutamate is what does me in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 The Mexican equivalent is Sopa Seca or Sopa Fideo. Millions of dishes served every day, rich and poor, hundreds of variations. Basiically a Vermicelli (angel hair) pasta lightly browned in oil or butter, then tomatoes and chiliies to make a stew, dry soup. Excellent with grilled cheese sandwich. Ready in 10 minutes. Hardly any cleanup. Rice a roni was basically the same thing, except the vermicelli was already toasted. Then quick cooking rice. Was thought to be introduced to the USA by the Lebanese. So simple. Like asking for a box of Kraft Mac & Cheese because they know of no other way to make it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 They also have msg. I ,unfortunately, had some yesterday. Today, I have a headache, can't breathe through my nose and my eyes are swollen. Sure tasted good though. And nearly every Campbell's soup with the exception of Tomato also has it. Some people are lucky not to have to deal with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just used some hunter sauce with carnitas that my son brought us from England along with their wild mushroom soup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to think she was just being fussy, but she said it made her feel clammy and sweaty. I finally realized it was the msg. I don't get a reaction like you or my daughter do, but I get this weird, unpleasant feeling in my jaw and cheeks from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
