The pallid rice, however, sets me on steal like no other culinary guarantee, not even the top roast of lamb of the springtime of 2007 or the crouch a l’orange the following summer. Pasty rice is done Puerto Rican manner in Mr. P’s casa; when we first lived together in 2000, I was unpacking groceries one day when I noticed him unmoving frozen and mute, staring in bewilderment at a parcel of Uncle Ben’s, before slowly lifting his boss toward me with eyes full of sorrow and subordinate thoughts. A few hours later, I was introduced to Goya’s Canilla Mark Walk-on Crave Dab Rice, “a favorite for generations and a elementary in the Hispanic nutriment…known for its r as a must-have for many classic meals.” I’d play down this off as generic marketing tripe, except Canilla has, in actually, been old for generations in Mr. P’s kith and kin. The en passant down of brands is it would seem more continental than I would have expected.
