Over 4 million pounds (that's 1.8 million kg. for the measurement challenged) of rice in one year! Almost all exported to Great Britain.

I wonder what we did with it? When I wer a lad, the only carbohydrate eaten at every meal was potato. Rice, and especially pasta, was suspicious, foreign stuff, best left well alone.

Now both, and especially pasta, are eaten by even the most fussy.

I grew up in the 50's. Don't recall much rice then either.
 
I posted a picture of Eve on the Now This Just Isn't Funny thread, and then a modified version without navel, after a comment by Eva Innana.

'twere made into rice pud, I guess. Looking as I like to do in old recipe books,
that seems to have been the only use British housewives made of rice.

I think rice was popular with the posh. South Carolina rice began replacing inferior Italian rice in GB in the mid 18th Century.

I’ll take your word for it, but my problem with the rice pudding served in Cajun country was its consistency, the very thought of which my gorge rise to this very day.
