    They have a lot of overlap but are better for different things. Bread is better for mopping up the last of a sauce, especially quietly. Rice is really good for varying ratios in your bites.

      Theres almost always a clear better option. And we’re primarily a wheat nation (both India and Pakistan) so the answer is roti 85% of the time, rice 10% and the other 5% is naan etc.

      These numbers I pulled out of my ass btw. And we eat with our hands and mop of sauce anyways, theres no reason to be quiet about it. Not wasting even a little food is a good thing.

        Generally quiet isn’t a concern. It can be. Sleeping roommates. Many people eating in a restaurant where the noise would add up. A third situation I failed to imagine.

        Traditions and circumstance create food. They do not have copyrights–or maybe they do but generally fuck copyright with a ton of extra-coarse bricks.
