Soph the vet Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I think rice comprises at least 50% of our meals not to mention the majority of the world eats it in some form. My dds will not touch the stuff no matter what kind, plain or spiced up, etc. My ds will eat anything put in front of him. The only time my oldest dd will eat rice is in creamy chicken wild rice soup. I just don't get it. I crave rice cooked in various ways all the time. Maybe I should have an only rice week....:glare:.

Mom2legomaniacs Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Mine do not care for it a great deal either. I did fix some brown rice recently with a meal that they did eat and I was shocked. I can't remember the rest of the meal, but I do know that they gobbled up that rice! Oh wait, I think I did some chicken in the crockpot and simply put a can of cream of mushroom soup over it. They used the gravy on the rice. Normally I fix noodles for them. This time I did not. I personally can't do rice often so we use noodles or couscous more.

C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 My dd won't eat rice, but my DS will... Neither will eat couscous. Sigh.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela H in Texas Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I hate white rice. I put up with it cuz we were poor but I hated every moment of it. My son hated it too. We use brown now and I like that. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabola Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Not only will my ds not eat rice, but he won't eat bread either. Grains are a thing of contention at my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooooom Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 he also has/had texture issues. He will eat other grains though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisperlily Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 My kids won't eat rice... except DD10. DH loves it, and I can eat it, but it's not something we serve here very often. We do love couscous, and I love Kashi's 7-grain Pilaf. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhesa Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Well, this is a timely thread! I've been so frustrated with my ds for not eating rice. It doesn't matter how I fix it, he won't eat it. And my daughter wants nothing to do with potatoes unless they're fried. I hate food battles.:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily in FL Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 The rest of us love rice. I can be frustrating for me because it is one of the few things that my ds with allergies can eat with us. Sometimes I make rice anyway and then feel bad because dh has less to eat than everyone else. He does at least tolerate flavored rice. I prefer plain white rice, especially with gravy. Some foods just go better with rice IMO. I find that I don't prepare those foods very often because I don't want to eat them with anything else.

Emmy Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 1 of my older 3 will not eat rice but he's super picky about everything. I hope he will try it sometime but I have my doubts. He will go hungry before he eats something he doesn't want. I hate that! :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Mine don't like rice. They'll eat a little if they're desperate. They also like rice cakes, oddly enough, so I guess it's a texture issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenpatty Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 LOL, the only way we ever ate it when I was a kid was with butter and sugar on it. :ack2: And it was the bagged, instant stuff. Now, I love it in any form (well, not with butter and sugar). Only half of my kids like it, and that's usually with soy sauce or something like that on it.

kat19 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 eat rice if it's at a Chinese place but not at home.. Go figure :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissy Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Gosh, I'm so glad my boys like rice. It was nearly the ONLY thing they ate when we were in China last year. Not adventurous, my guys, when it comes to their food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom42terrificgirls Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 yes, my dd will not eat rice of any kind or pasta of any kind except for spaghetti. therefore we do not do casseroles around here. i do brown rice once a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaid Dad Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 My dd won't touch it. Then again, she pretty much only eats pasta, bread, and cheese, plus occasional forays into yogurt and strawberries. ::sigh:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorbie Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I have a child that won't eat white rice unless it has ketchup on it. :ack2: But then he is fine eating fried rice with sprouts and other veggies in it. Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolash Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 My ds loves rice; yellow, brown, white, in casseroles or out. But he will not touch any kind of pasta except spaghetti! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Ds10 does not like my rice (he does like the rice at the Chinese restaurant). We eat rice alot (Dh is Filipino). This child eats too many carbs at snacktime - having a low carb dinner is not a bad thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peela Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 One loves it, the other doesn't like it but will tolerate it. Both strongly dislike potatoes. How can one actually dislike such a major food? So, the only major carb they both eat is pasta. And I think pasta is junk food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soph the vet Posted April 5, 2008 Author Share Posted April 5, 2008 I am so encouraged to find that I am not alone! I keep telling the dc that we may end up living somewhere where rice is the main staple or that with grocery prices increasing that rice will be ever more present on the dinner plate....but nothing seems to change their minds.
