LOL! Yes, my husband eats so much rice (daily), it shocked me when we first started dating. Indian plates will have rice as the focus with little cups of a meat, veggies and pickles on the side. I am used to protein being the focus and rice and veggies being on the side. When we go to India, his family is always concerned by the small amount of rice I accept at meals. I'm often asked if I want some more rice or questioned as to why I only took a small spoon. I'm Italian, so my preferred carbs are bread and pasta
