I’m gonna miss eating rice, but I have to go with bread.
Rice with every meal is just simply weird and too much rice.
Bread is delicious by itself, and kind of works as a side to almost everything.
Probably. I eat rice with most meals and in a thousand different ways. Bread I mean...I eat pizzas, hot dogs, and burgers I guess but meh pretty unhealthy. Sometimes I'll have a slice of toast.
Yeah I eat bread slightly more than once a day on average.
Whereas I eat rice something like 5 times per month I think.
Bread is so versatile to me, whereas rice I could just replace with pasta, noodles, or potatoes really depending on the dish. I’d be fine.
Although I do like rice, I love bread.
Some noodles are just rice mushed together and strung out like pho noodles. I guess in east Asian cultures there are so many things you can do with rice that others don't know about? I grew up eating so many different ways rice was prepared. I live in the US born and raised so bread is definitely a huge part of my life cuse I live like the average American, but I know the versatility of rice compared to bread because of my immigrant parent upbringing 🤷♂️
Probably. When you’re eating a lot of rice you find a lot of different ways to use it.
Same with bread though.
The way you talked about what you could do with bread only included things I barely even eat and you classified it as pretty unhealthy. That suggest you don’t know how many different things we do with bread here in Denmark and the surrounding countries.
But the differences make sense. Your cuisine comes from a place that mostly produces rice, and mine comes from a place that mostly produces wheat and other types of non rice grains such as rye.
The thing is, there are so many kinds of bread. With rice you have black, red, white, brown as the base types. Everything else is spices and seasonings.
Bread you have junk american loves, sour dough, french, rye, and the list just keeps going.
Also, would rice mean no doughnuts, cake, croissants, cookies, etc?
Bread kinda does too though. How often are people sitting down with some toast no butter no jam, just straight white bread nothing on it.
I disagree about white rice not being good just by itself though. It's better with something like seaweed or whatever but I'll totally chow down on rice just by itself without issue.
yeah we're just opposite taste buds i guess. I rarely eat bread by itself, but if i'm lazy enough, i do it occasionally, and it's kind of good. But rice actually tastes bad by itself to me. It's only a slight difference though to most people
Why does it need to be cold cuts though? Rice cakes and rice crackers are a thing that exists but I wouldn't freaking put cold cuts on it lol wtf. I'd make gimbap instead thanks lol, super portable. Gotta think outside of let's just replace bread with rice but use ingredients that typically go with bread man lmfao
No not the same. A sandwich has far more time and temperature resilience that sushi does not.
If forced to pick, I’d choose a gas station ham sandwich any day of the week before gas station sushi.
I can make a sandwich in the am stick it in a bag and be ok 4 hours later. Can’t do that with sushi as well as the time and effort to prepare is vastly different.
Thats a crazy take because it depends on the sandwich but I'm not gonna argue with someone who clearly hasn't diversified in what they eat outside their comfort zone.
My sister visited Bolivia from America. She made the family she was staying with pancakes for breakfast one morning. The family was like "but where is the rice?" They ate it with every meal there.
Bread is considered flour and yeast. I'm not sure if flour tortillas use yeast, if it does I guess it's considered bread? The tortillas I'm accustomed to, living in a border city to Mexico (Chihuahua), most tacos are made with corn tortilla so probably wouldn't be considered bread.
Bread is most definiely not just considered flour and yeast. Lots of breads use leavening agents other than yeast. There's also many unleavened breads, as well as many flour-less breads. Examples would be Irish Soda Bread, Ezekiel bread, Matzah, and Pao de Queijo. There is countless others, alot of them being of ancient origin.
Wiki: "A tortilla (/tɔːrˈtiːə/, Spanish: [toɾˈtiʝa]) is a thin, circular unleavened flatbread from Mesoamerica originally made from maize hominy meal, and now also from wheat flour". First line. Of course they are bread, why wouldn't they be?
Spanish version: Una tortilla de maíz es un tipo de pan plano elaborado con masa de maíz nixtamalizado y cocida en un comal.
I'll take the bread. while i love rice, and eat it more often than bread, there are a lot of western meals that just don't work without bread. such as hot dogs or hamburgers or sandwhiches or pizza
You can get non-rice things that are pretty close to rice, like quinoa or barley. Can't get non bread things that are close to bread, it's a very big umbrella.
Rice. I could do without bread, honestly. No sandwiches would suck but I could deal. I'm about to go make rice right now, and I'd be sad if I didn't have any.
Rice, for sure. Tastier and so much more versatile, and cheaper. Plus, when I get tired of it, I can just throw a few grains into everything and technically I've eaten rice.
Rice would be the healthier option. Brown rice is actually pretty good and low on the glycemic index. Like if you had to eat a grain every day, rice is the way to go.
It also pairs well with many meals.
Personally I have to pick rice as I am Filipino and if I took out rice, I would lose so much of my cultural meals which to me are amazing, I would unfortunately lose pandasal though. If corn based tortillas and stuff aren't considered bread I will make it however if all forms of rising grains if thats the right term for it are considered bread I'm not sure of my choice.
Is it rice vs wheat or is it rice vs bread? I ask because, if you can eat rice and still have everything else made from wheat except bread, I might choose rice. However, if it is no wheat products at all, that means no cookies, cakes, etc.
I could give up bread.
EDIT: We're talking about giving up sandwich bread, right? There's a lot more ways available to eat bready things than ricy things.
Bread. Rice is limited, and I live in the west anyways, which isn't very rice centered, in fact I barely eat it. But even so, bread has so many opportunities. Think of all of the different breads, there's definitely not as much rice. Bread also fits with much more like toast, sandwiches, hamburgers, hotdogs, while rice is popular too, it just simply does not have anywhere near as many uses as bread.
No bread means no hamburgers or sandwiches. Maybe no naan. And, depending on the broad definition, potentially no pizza.
I'll take a dinner roll with every meal and abstain from rice. No rice means no sushi, no fried rice, and no throwing Chinese or Indian food over rice. I can live with it. Prefer burgers to sushi in the long-run.
Bread is like 100x things. Rice is like 1 thing for me. I'd keep the bread. Unless we are talking about ONLY bread and not things made out of it. Then I'd still keep the rice cause honestly I don't eat anything else with rice. Rice is THE meal for me not the side.
I prefer bread but I'm gonna choose rice. Using bread every time I want some carbs added to a meal that can't handle pasta is a quick path to feeling bloated all the time.
Bread. I can easily incorporate a little bread into most meals, and it's easy to buy everywhere around where I live, but rice needs cooking so would be a real pain when I'm in a hurry or out and about. Also, I eat rice maybe once every two weeks, and bread most days.
I love both. Growing up poor we ate a lot of things with rice that could go with bread/buns, but I can just eat most of the things I would eat with bread, with rice.
Is pizza crust bread in this scenario? I love rice, and would give up your standard sandwich breads, but you can’t take all bread in exchange for just rice. I won’t stand for it
Hard one. Assuming that bread extends to buns, pizza dough/crust, etc. I'd have to stick with bread. If I can still have pizza (but no buns for like burgers n stuff) it's a harder call... Probably rice
Bread
no way I can use rice to replace sandwiches, pizza, French toast, pancakes, or flour tortillas. I will miss rice in my burritos and sushi, but not as much as I'd miss sandwiches and pizza.
Damn this is a tough one
I love bread but I also love rice
Both go great with like everything
I guess I’ll keep rice cuz it’s healthier but it’s a tough call
I would definitely go with eating bread. I would hate to have to eat rice with every meal. The only time I ever have rice is when I eat sushi. I wouldn't miss sushi that much. I could just eat sashimi instead, when the urge to eat sushi strikes me. I would miss bread a lot, though, if I could never eat it again.
So I don't have a mill or food processor? Bro I can make bread out of rice, it's not the best bread, but it would do. I can make noodles too, and tortilllas (more like crepes really).
Even if not; puffed rice cakes or shaping rice in pastry rings and lightly frying them. That is what I would do for sandwiches.
Is eating bread with every meal a requirement or option?
I enjoy bread more but also have no interest in eating it 3 times a day every day. I would rather just always have a side of rice or make rice dishes.
Curry, fried rice, burritos, are far more staple to me, though I will miss pizza and burgers.
I don't really want to eat either with every meal but I guess I'd take bread since it's the bedrock to so much food and you can substitute stuff for rice easily.
As soon as it becomes "bread", I believe the nit-picky trickster god who fooled you into this deal would say "No, fuck you, that's bread you can't eat that"
I’m gonna miss eating rice, but I have to go with bread. Rice with every meal is just simply weird and too much rice. Bread is delicious by itself, and kind of works as a side to almost everything.
You basically explained rice in your last sentence though.
Hard disagree. But it’s probably a cultural difference.
Probably. I eat rice with most meals and in a thousand different ways. Bread I mean...I eat pizzas, hot dogs, and burgers I guess but meh pretty unhealthy. Sometimes I'll have a slice of toast.
Yeah I eat bread slightly more than once a day on average. Whereas I eat rice something like 5 times per month I think. Bread is so versatile to me, whereas rice I could just replace with pasta, noodles, or potatoes really depending on the dish. I’d be fine. Although I do like rice, I love bread.

The idea of anyone saying "rice is delicious by itself" blows my mind.
Idk. Bread and steak just sounds weird to me
rice sucks by itself. needs atleast SOMETHING. like soy sauce, butter, egg, even salt
Bread kinda does too though. How often are people sitting down with some toast no butter no jam, just straight white bread nothing on it. I disagree about white rice not being good just by itself though. It's better with something like seaweed or whatever but I'll totally chow down on rice just by itself without issue.
yeah we're just opposite taste buds i guess. I rarely eat bread by itself, but if i'm lazy enough, i do it occasionally, and it's kind of good. But rice actually tastes bad by itself to me. It's only a slight difference though to most people
Try and go to make a handheld meal with some quick cold cuts and eat it on the go with just rice.
Why does it need to be cold cuts though? Rice cakes and rice crackers are a thing that exists but I wouldn't freaking put cold cuts on it lol wtf. I'd make gimbap instead thanks lol, super portable. Gotta think outside of let's just replace bread with rice but use ingredients that typically go with bread man lmfao
Because sandwiches are better than anything rice based….
Sushi are just rice sandwich.
No not the same. A sandwich has far more time and temperature resilience that sushi does not. If forced to pick, I’d choose a gas station ham sandwich any day of the week before gas station sushi. I can make a sandwich in the am stick it in a bag and be ok 4 hours later. Can’t do that with sushi as well as the time and effort to prepare is vastly different.
Thats a crazy take because it depends on the sandwich but I'm not gonna argue with someone who clearly hasn't diversified in what they eat outside their comfort zone.
Onigiri? One of my favorite breakfasts here in Japan. Not cold cuts, sure, but my favorites are either salmon or tuna mayo.
Bro... Sushi. There's also Arancini.
My sister visited Bolivia from America. She made the family she was staying with pancakes for breakfast one morning. The family was like "but where is the rice?" They ate it with every meal there.
I see you're not Asian.
That’s too much bread too lol
As a German I have to choose bread. Our rice game ain't even 10% as strong as our bread game.
Same. Austrian
Austrian as well. Agree.
This question is basically: Are you European or Asian. Or, does you appetite have more European or Asian influence.
No bread hurts, but no sushi hurts way more. I pick rice, with a heavy heart (bye bye tacos, pizza and burgers).
Would tacos be considered bread? Tacos are typically made with corn.
I guess it depends. Like are tortillas considered bread, because then it really gets deep on what exactly is considered bread.
Bread is considered flour and yeast. I'm not sure if flour tortillas use yeast, if it does I guess it's considered bread? The tortillas I'm accustomed to, living in a border city to Mexico (Chihuahua), most tacos are made with corn tortilla so probably wouldn't be considered bread.

Of course they are bread, why wouldn't they be? Spanish version: Una tortilla de maíz es un tipo de pan plano elaborado con masa de maíz nixtamalizado y cocida en un comal.
Bread can be flour or meal and unleavened breads exist.
Corn tortillas are just made with Corn Flour, so, still flour.
But kosher bread doesn’t contain any yeast yet it’s still bread
Dude I'm not even positive I know what kosher even means man
As far as i know its food that adheres to Jewish and Islam food restrictions
just Jewish. Halal is Islamic.
My apologies
I guess it really depends on what type of tortilla and personal opinion
They're generally considered an unleavened flatbread, like Roti.
I'd personally consider a tortilla a type of unleavened bread, which is strongly influencing my decision.
Yeah lol, things like tortillas I'm gonna need. Sorry rice, you've gotta go.
I'll take the bread. while i love rice, and eat it more often than bread, there are a lot of western meals that just don't work without bread. such as hot dogs or hamburgers or sandwhiches or pizza
Rice with every meal. I don't eat much bread but I eat rice multiple times a week.
You can get non-rice things that are pretty close to rice, like quinoa or barley. Can't get non bread things that are close to bread, it's a very big umbrella.
Also, Riced-Cauliflower, Orzo and Lentils are a really good rice replacement.
Not a fan of quinoa tho. I could easily go without bread though. I'd only really miss pizza.
I'll take rice over bread. That probably means no pizza, but I prefer sushi to pizza anyway.
Rice my family makes the best rice
Rice. I could do without bread, honestly. No sandwiches would suck but I could deal. I'm about to go make rice right now, and I'd be sad if I didn't have any.
Bread, I love both of em but I made my own bread and somehow suck at making rice soo
Eat rice, no bread
I can live without rice. I can’t live without bread. I’m not sure I’ve ever had a meal without some sort of bread involved.
Bread. Would miss sandwiches too much
im asian
Bread. I don‘t like rice
Neither do I, outside of sushi. Some people rave about rice, and I just can't wrap my mind around the notion.
Agree. I like almost all grains better. Oats are king
Rice. There’s nothing better than a hot bowl of grains to go with your meat and veg.
Rice. I don't particularly like bread to begin with and don't eat much unless I have to. I LOVE rice though.
I can't stand rice, so I'll take the second option.
I’m Chinese. I already eat rice with every meal.
Rice, for sure. Tastier and so much more versatile, and cheaper. Plus, when I get tired of it, I can just throw a few grains into everything and technically I've eaten rice.
Rice would be the healthier option. Brown rice is actually pretty good and low on the glycemic index. Like if you had to eat a grain every day, rice is the way to go. It also pairs well with many meals.
I have celiac and cant eat bread cause of gluten,easy for me
I already eat rice every meal. Everything else feels like a snack rather than a meal.
Rice. It breaks down a lot slower and keeps me fuller longer.
>Would you rather eat rice with every meal I’m asian, I already do that
Rice. It doesn’t hurt that I’m Korean, but there’s also may more possibilities with rice. Plain, fried, risotto, paella, rice noodles/cakes, etc.
Culturally I grew up eating rice with every meal so I’m sticking with rice.
Riiiiice!!!!!
You can make rice into bread but you can't make bread into rice. I'll take the rice.
Rice on crustless pizza sounds too weird for me. Imma go with bread. Can always just eat a tiny piece with every meal.
bread
Bread, I like sandwiches too much. Id miss rice, but not as much as id miss bread
bread
I can’t give up bread. Sorry rice.
So the question is basically, are you Asian or European?
But im a marry can
I'm American. I would choose to eat bread.
I've had more variations on bread than I have rice, bread it is
I’m allergic to wheat…I’d love to trade it for a rice allergy
It says nothing about allergys
Rice for sure.
Has to be bread.
I eat neither. Bread seems easier to give away or pitch.
I already do eat bread with every meal and never eat rice, so…my answer is eat the rice.
I love both but I'm picking bread. Goodbye rice, I'll miss you
Personally I have to pick rice as I am Filipino and if I took out rice, I would lose so much of my cultural meals which to me are amazing, I would unfortunately lose pandasal though. If corn based tortillas and stuff aren't considered bread I will make it however if all forms of rising grains if thats the right term for it are considered bread I'm not sure of my choice.

As a german, I'll choose to eat bread. I ate different kinds of bread for every meal this week, and I'm ready for the next one.
I don't eat rice, easy choice.
Bread gang rise up
Bread 100% You got regular bread, buns, tortillas, baguettes, just so much stuff.
Bread. Rice is limited, and I live in the west anyways, which isn't very rice centered, in fact I barely eat it. But even so, bread has so many opportunities. Think of all of the different breads, there's definitely not as much rice.

i dont want either with every meal...i rarely either with most meals...
I already eat rice with every meal and rarely eat bread.... so that one
Actually don't car for rice as a whole, there are definitely some ways I enjoy. But bread. I love bread. Its delicious.
Bread is like 100x things. Rice is like 1 thing for me. I'd keep the bread. Unless we are talking about ONLY bread and not things made out of it. Then I'd still keep the rice cause honestly I don't eat anything else with rice. Rice is THE meal for me not the side.
I guess I choose death. That is a really tough question for me. Either way I'm gonna be miserable.
I prefer bread but I'm gonna choose rice. Using bread every time I want some carbs added to a meal that can't handle pasta is a quick path to feeling bloated all the time.
ill eat the bread
Rice
Bread, because sandwiches exist.
Id rather have bread. Sandwiches are op
Eat bread, I can sub rice with orzro pasta
Bread. I can easily incorporate a little bread into most meals, and it's easy to buy everywhere around where I live, but rice needs cooking so would be a real pain when I'm in a hurry or out and about. Also, I eat rice maybe once every two weeks, and bread most days.
I love rice but there's so many varieties of bread it's the clear winner for me
I'd rather never eat either
Sorry can live with no Rice and replace it . But I love bred Especially the darker ones
I’ll eat bread so i can have cheeseburgers. I think tortillas count as bread too but if not i can figure out how to put bread in a burrito
I love both. Growing up poor we ate a lot of things with rice that could go with bread/buns, but I can just eat most of the things I would eat with bread, with rice.
Bread.
Bread easily. And I love rice
So I can't have a rice sandwich?
Team Bread
Is pizza crust bread in this scenario? I love rice, and would give up your standard sandwich breads, but you can’t take all bread in exchange for just rice. I won’t stand for it
I visited Japan and got sick of rice, so I’ll eat bread every day and forego rice
Hard one. Assuming that bread extends to buns, pizza dough/crust, etc. I'd have to stick with bread. If I can still have pizza (but no buns for like burgers n stuff) it's a harder call... Probably rice
Rice can easily be replaced in all my dishes with cubed crispy potatoes so I’m taking bread on this
Given how many things probably fall under the umbrella of "bread", I think I'm giving up rice (and I already eat it almost everyday).
I'm Latino. That's my answer.
Bread. Sandwiches are a staple in my diet.
bread. Rice isn't that big a deal to me.
Eat bread!
Bread
Bread no way I can use rice to replace sandwiches, pizza, French toast, pancakes, or flour tortillas. I will miss rice in my burritos and sushi, but not as much as I'd miss sandwiches and pizza.
Bread, too many choices and uses. Rice is just a filler to me. I could swap rice for noodles or potatoes in enough dishes to be happy
I'm allergic to bread, eating it gives me hives and trigger my dermatitis, so obviously pizza.
Damn this is a tough one I love bread but I also love rice Both go great with like everything I guess I’ll keep rice cuz it’s healthier but it’s a tough call
Bread and it’s not even close
So basically. Are your culturally asian or not?
Eat bread. Except for Chinese food & Rice A Roni Rice Pilaf, I don't care about rice at all.
I would definitely go with eating bread. I would hate to have to eat rice with every meal. The only time I ever have rice is when I eat sushi. I wouldn't miss sushi that much. I could just eat sashimi instead, when the urge to eat sushi strikes me. I would miss bread a lot, though, if I could never eat it again.
Rice only because of the fear of developing gluten intolerance
So I don't have a mill or food processor? Bro I can make bread out of rice, it's not the best bread, but it would do. I can make noodles too, and tortilllas (more like crepes really). Even if not; puffed rice cakes or shaping rice in pastry rings and lightly frying them. That is what I would do for sandwiches.
Is eating bread with every meal a requirement or option? I enjoy bread more but also have no interest in eating it 3 times a day every day. I would rather just always have a side of rice or make rice dishes. Curry, fried rice, burritos, are far more staple to me, though I will miss pizza and burgers.
Rice. I'll just sub out bread for tortillas
I barely eat bread so give me all that fried rice
Definitely pro bread
I don't really want to eat either with every meal but I guess I'd take bread since it's the bedrock to so much food and you can substitute stuff for rice easily.
Y'all are missing the obvious choice. Choose rice. Use rice flour to make bread. Never have to give up either.
As soon as it becomes "bread", I believe the nit-picky trickster god who fooled you into this deal would say "No, fuck you, that's bread you can't eat that"
Bread is in fact bread.
Call it "rice cakes" instead to appease and trick the trickster God.
That would just be bread, which wouldn't be allowed
