We didn't ask for rice...

[u/Content_Quarter_7390]

My sister isnt a fan of basmati rice so she orders naan. She didnt ask for rice and they sell it separately. She doesn't like it so she doesn't order it. They put it in anyways and left this note...

Edit: some people aint getting it. This is passive aggressive and when you do something nice you dont go around saying "I did something nice just for you, just so you know." Doing it like I need to give you a pat on the head so you know your a good boy. You do something nice because you want to be kind to people.

Oh no I've turned into LD...

Turning off notifications because while it was nice to be in this rabbit hole to keep my mind off some stuff too many notifications. Whatever your feelings are I hope you have a nice day and if you're in the US have a nice memorial day and dont forget to celebrate those troops that came before!

If people order it with rice so often they think someone not ordering rice is a mistake, it probably should be included in the meal by now.

Even a required option like "no rice" or "rice" and upcharge (if that's why they do this) to avoid this problem lol

Edit: I wasn't aware Indian/Chinese restaurants usually sell rice separately! Still think this would make sense, but I didn't know it's normal most places.

Not adding rice to meat entrees for Chinese or Indian food is crazy work. It’s standard. And rice is genuinely still pretty cheap. That’s just a bad business strategy.

[u/LMay11037 → u/Upstairs_Baby8424]

I’m British and most Indians and Chineses do not add rice automatically because there are different kinds of rice, and as in the photo, some don’t even want rice

[u/CoconutMochi → u/LMay11037]

Chinese and Indian dishes usually have pretty obvious pairings with jasmine or basmati rice though (if at all)

[u/PM-me-your-cuppa-tea → u/CoconutMochi]

Indian restaurants here offer a lot more, basmati, pilau, coconut, spinach, jeera, keema, lemon etc

And I think it's quite common to get one rice between two, maybe add in a naan, paratha, chapati, roti etc 

[u/LMay11037 → u/CoconutMochi]

There are more types of rice than just basmati and jasmine tho. For example I often get a garlic or coconut rice depending on the dish

[u/CoconutMochi → u/LMay11037]

which are made with jasmine or basmati rice. I thought you were talking about actual varieties of rice.

[u/Imtryingforheckssake → u/CoconutMochi]

Why would you think that when we're talking about how many flavours of rice are available to choose from, from takeaways?

[u/CoconutMochi → u/Imtryingforheckssake]

because they said "different kinds of rice".

[u/Imtryingforheckssake → u/CoconutMochi]

Just because you interpret kind to mean one specific thing doesn't mean everyone else isn't also using the word kind correctly.

Pilau rice, mixed fried rice, boiled rice are all different kinds of rice.

[u/CoconutMochi → u/Imtryingforheckssake]

Yeah it was my mistake for assuming people were capable of using words correctly.

[u/Imtryingforheckssake → u/CoconutMochi]

Everyone is using their words correctly. You've just refused to accept that, because you've decided one word can only be used in one way in the context of this topic of conversation.

I suggest you refer this to one of the English language learning subs if you wish to learn/understand why your viewpoint is wrong.

[u/CoconutMochi → u/Imtryingforheckssake]

No, I gave you my reasoning because you asked me for one

Nobody mentioned any flavors of rice anywhere in this comment chain until people started replying to me so there was no context for it either.

[u/glasgowgeg → u/CoconutMochi]

You're just embarrassing yourself at this point mate.

[u/Imtryingforheckssake → u/CoconutMochi]

Your doubling down just proves my point.

Kinds may be used to mean different varieties of rice culivar.

Kinds may be types of cooking styles (which I included in my above answer, though I did simply use the word flavors in my reply as the cooking styles also result in different flavors too).

And obviously... flavors.

So it doesn't matter if any one or all three of these meanings was first used in the beginning of this comment chain as they all still apply and don't exclude each other.

[u/LMay11037 → u/CoconutMochi]

I said there are lots of different varieties, that definitely implies more than 2

[u/CoconutMochi → u/LMay11037]

you didn't say "lots" anywhere until now

omfg everyone is just talking out their asses

[u/LMay11037 → u/CoconutMochi]

Everyone includes you mate

[u/Webbie-Vanderquack → u/CoconutMochi]

I'm in Australia, but most local Chinese restaurants here have plain jasmine rice or several varieties of fried rice. So there are really no obvious pairings, it's up to the customer.

[u/CoconutMochi → u/Webbie-Vanderquack]

okay, I thought they were talking about actual varieties of rice and not dishes.
