I'm not gonna lie that pasta looked good, but probably tasted weird since it's cooked in a different country.

Don't say it like that, it must be delicious, it even got into TV, if you say that it's going to taste weird because it's from an another country, It's the same that you think that we don't breath the same air and drink the same water. We breath the same air that contains 78% of Nitrogen, 20% Oxygen, and 2% others, don't tell me the composition in air is different in other countries (except pollution). No offense, Your speech contains a little bit of discrimination.

Sorry David, if i hurt your feelings, I think I'm a bit hasty judging your message, 'cause every food that eat must be delicious, we should be even be grateful that we have food, 'cause many people even can't have a single grain of rice. Because of that thinking I've misjudge you. Sorry.

I think Lurking pretty much summed up on what I would've said, but heres what I had to say.

I knew someone would try to attack that, sorry if you took my comment the wrong way, but what I'm saying is that it would taste weird because I'm not associated to something that's different than what I have tasted. For example I ate pizza in Vietnam and in the U.S. they both tasted really different from each other and their ingredients were the same. Guess what? I liked the American pizza more while the other tasted strange. Its because I'm not used to tasting things new to me at first until I've acquired a taste for the food. Just like water, in some cases people get sick from drinking water from another country, because they're not used to water outside the country compared to the water they drink locally. Every region uses different spices and foods, it takes getting used to because you were not raised with it. Therefore I said that the pasta would taste weird.




You didn't hurt my feelings its ok that you took the message differently than others.

Lol, "Sorry David, if i hurt your feelings" what is this, kindergarten?

How did this forum turn into an ethical discusion... i just tried and it tastes awesome, although i think i left it in the rice cooker a litle too long... it was too mushy...

It all started when someone wanted to teach when I stated my opinion. Anyhow nice to hear you tasted the meal! Don't worry I won't turn this into an ethical discussion just because you said it was too mushy.

lol, good on ya David! THANKS for the recipe again1! :P

That is not really that strange, I have used my rice cooker to cook Spaghetti before. The noodles really don't taste that different, when you prepare them in a rice cooker, they cook a little faster but the taste is not any different.

I disagree... When you cook it in the rice cooker, the texture is different.
You also get an overall even cook without putting that much effort into it.

That said... it does have its limitations, considering you can't tamper with the cooking method, like if you are cooking noodles... you usually prepare boiling water then add ingredients to the water usually including soya sauce before putting in the dry noodles... you simply can't do that with a rice cooker... that's why it's only good for certain pastas.
