Rice is a staple food for many homes in the Southeastern United States; especially, near the coast where rice farming still exists today. In fact rice is the primary food source for the majority of the world's population and is enjoyed by millions in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and South America. This is a traditional rice recipe that serves as a vegetable entree or dessert depending on the cook. It has stood the test of time and will continue to do so for quite some time.

Comments from Grandma:
"This was one of my favorite desserts when I was a little girl. It is still one of my favorite desserts today."
"Rice in any form is one of my favorite foods. White, brown, wild, long grain, short grain, converted...I don't care. One of my favorites is in 'chicken bog', but that is another recipe."
