Wait… people actually like rice? I thought it was just a thing you ate with other things because of reasons I don’t understand. It never occurred to me that people would eat it on purpose, because they enjoy it.
i mean it’s like pasta or potatoes or any other starch, cook it properly with some salt and it tastes fairly good, add some butter or similar and it tastes very good, then make it part of a suitable meal and it’s REALLY good
Depends on the cultivar. Rice does have different flavors, and some are definitely tastier than others, at least in my opinion. Japanese sticky rice is my favorite, and although I wouldn’t eat it on its own, I can totally see why someone would enjoy it
it’s like bread. if you only ever saw white bread on sandwiches you might be confused to hear about someone loving a good sourdough or rye from the bakery.
Because actual good quality rice tastes good. Thai jasmine rice for example is fluffy, moist, and fragrant. Then there’s all sorts of ways of elevating it like fried rice, sticky rice, etc. In Asia, rice is not just a side dish, it’s a main component of a meal.
I like rice but kind of like how I like bread. It’s carbs that you put with other stuff give it more substance. On its own it can be OK (since its carbs) but pretty bland.

also if that bread was only ever served underbaked and untoasted, with the toppings laid directly on the bread slice without any fat between.
Rice is great if you’re really hungry and want to eat two thousand of something.
