About 3 years ago I bought 2x 20kg sacks of basmati rice for about 35GBP, when I found recently that the end of the 2nd bag had gone off I used up a small packet of arborio rice my ex had used to make a risotto, and I have to say I was impressed, it melts down into a gloopy starch that seems a really usuable source of energy, rather than be a bit chewy and bitty like other sorts of rice. And soaks up the liquid so can take a batch of "green curry risotto" to work easily, too. Anybody else swear by it? Also looking for a source for bulk buy as it's expensive.
