re: What Is Your Favorite Brand Of Rice?

Is my memory right that Popcorn rice comes from somewhere up in the MS Delta? Seems like there was a family there that grew it. We would buy it when we lived in Cleveland, MS.

Useless information. We lived in Cleveland, MS (circa 1975) during the days I worked for Baxter, Laboratories, in their LVP plant there. There was a Riceland Rice processing plant in Cleveland in those days, that I visited. Interesting place. Then one day, it blew up. To say it was like a bomb going off was not very descriptive. Killed a couple of folks I think. Needless to say, rice dust can be very explosive. I think a spark set it off.

Anyhow, Popcorn rice is very good stuff.

I'm not sure I ever said that I regret not meeting you that day. Maybe sometime when we drive past Rayville, I'll stop and stand in the street yelling out your name until they put me in jail and I can at least say I tried harder than the first time.

I never had a fork of rice that wasn't great! Probably the cook and not the rice. Some folks never learn they can't cook....

I agree that the packaging looks virtue signalingish as hell. If I wouldn’t have known the story I would have thought it was some hippy shite too. It was a marketing move I’m sure to dial in to the Whole Foods, Fresh Market yoga pants market. Kennedy rice is truly a great story, and a major player in the rice world. They take it all the way from the field to the bags you see in the grocery store. Sell to most all the major labels, and have their own. Here’s 2 of the 4 sisters back before the changed from Kencheaux to 4 Sisters. The one on the right is the driving force
