-> Yes, I am. I asked you a simple question about the taste of various
white
-> rices. You then went off on all manner of tangents without answering the
-> inquiry. You sort-of answered it above by saying that it has little or
no 
taste
-> - so, I will take that to mean that there is no difference between long 
and
-> short grain rice - taste-wise.
->  
Like I said - you brought taste into the equation.  I didn't.  You just said 
so.  My topic was grain length and texture and stickiness.  

->  -> You still haven't said what you see as the difference in taste. As

you.

-> See above. And thanks for *finally* giving an answer. Do you know the
-> difference between Basmati and Texmati rices? Both have a faintly nutty 
taste.
-> Jasmine rice reminds me of cheap perfume when fresh. If allowed to age 
(sit in
-> the shelf) for a bit, like cheap perfume, the aroma fades and you have a
-> long-grain sticky white rice.

I've never tasted Texmati so can't answer that one.  I'll assume it's 
similar.  Pecan rice is similar to basmati, but harder to find around here.  
No clue if it's even on the shelf in the Outback.  I rather like the smell 
of Jasmine rice, but it's not for everyone or for every dish.  The
denatured 
version would make good rice pudding.
