Post by: pmcd9 on January 25, 2010, 03:57:48 pm: I only ask because In the last week I've encountered no less than 3 people that think it's pasta. 5 people if you count the two who have already weighed in on Facebook.

All the rice deniers are women too and it's only men who know it to be rice. Weird.
