oys chill dude, amazing u cant survive without rice...tell u what i havenot eaten rice for last 2 months and i am still alive. I dont know what i have in my blood but i love bread than rice.....when u have so much choice of bread from chibetta, baugette, farmer roll, garlic bread, chaptai, naan etc etc...why the heck you have to eat rice? I remeber when i went to hotel school for first time. I was shocked and amazed by the eating habit of ppl there. They give me scope of rice then i was like what the f..k? Slowly, later i got adapted with that diet. Today i merely eat rice and curry. I prefer to stick to salad, pastas, raughou, vicy carrot, gartin potato, garlic roasted poatato, steak, lamb chop and of course chinese noodles. Dude you body can change habit? i have to be thankful to french for making my habit change and my thiking as well. I have been sticking around with french for last 7 yrs and they have been lucky for me. All the best boss so far i have worked are french and they can teach u how to eat man. Just try farmer roll, blue cheese, smoked salmon , capers and spanish onion....u will forget rice
