Uncle Ben

Racist.

You mean Ricist, surely?

Ridiculous. Aunt Jemima is getting the same treatment this year too.
Those brands have a story based on real black people, something that is lost now forever because of this ridiculous culture.

You'd look at the packaging and say Ben looks like a nice fella, be a good chat and knows his grub. The woke culture just cancelled a black man, hows that for irony.

A fraction of the population would have been following this.

So when a normal person walks into Tesco and looks for some Uncle Ben's, they will see Ben's Original and probably think its the Tesco own brand ripoff but at Uncle Ben's prices.

Get woke, go broke is gojng to hit them hard.

I actually bought a bag of the Asian stuff for €42, and got the TEsco one on special for 9.99, because I wanted to compare quality.

Then I used two identical saucepans (borrowed one from the sister-in-law, she has the same set).

Then I place one litre of water in each pot and brought it to the boil on two back gas rings on the cooker, they're identical KW.

While waiting for the water to boil, I weighed out 100grams of each brand of rice. I then added 2 litres of water to two basins and rinsed the two lots of rice for the same length of time, then emptied and repeated the process, then drained the rice into two identical sieves and let them stand for the same length of time.

When the water reached boiling point, I immediately and simultaneously emptied each sieve into each pot. I then added 1 level teaspoon of salt to each pot. Then I stirred ONCE, to disperse the salt, without removing more starch from the rice. I then covered both pots and left them to simmer for 11 minutes, whereupon I checked the rice in both pots to see were they done yet.

After one more minute, I decanted both pots into identical colanders and let them drain.

Then I put the rice on to identical plates, both heated for the same length of time from the same kettle of boiling water.

Now for the taste test:

I have to say, they looked identical on the plates, insofar as the rice wasn't sticky, but nicely cooked and soft but not soggy. But there's no doubt, one was definitely superior, with a nice taste. While the other was sort of, meh! You know, still has that 'watery' taste.

Unfortunately, I'm fncked if I can remember which was which.

What would Uncle Roger say though?

What's Del Boy gonna order down the Indian?

I presume black jacks are long gone if it's at this stage?

doesn't everyone eat their rice off one chopstick??

Has there been any campaign to replace the Notre Dame and Boston Celtic's logos yet ?

Now they are offensive.
