Why would I want to keep the curry out of my rice? I think the cheese jacks would be better equipped to stop tanks from invading my curry because that would actually ruin the food.

[–] 2ugly2live 4 points 3 hours ago

And here I was pouring my curry directly over my rice, like a fool.

[–] BigBenis 15 points 6 hours ago

Okay but isn't it the whole purpose of the rice, to be flooded with curry?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

That's an insane amount of curry and cheese for that tiny portion of rice.

[–] PapaStevesy 2 points 6 hours ago

That half of the plate is really deep.

Caltrop cheese

Humans are also tetrapods

[–] PapaStevesy 1 points 6 hours ago

How the hell could a tetrapod

Be able to blend in?

Why are you trying to keep your rice out of your curry, who eats them separately, that's insane

[–] nul9o9 6 points 9 hours ago

Seriously. Soak my rice in my curry, soak my rice in my butter chicken, and soak my rice in my caldo and menudo. That's what that shit is for!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Because I like to eat fluffy rice, not soaking wet rice.

[–] bahbah23 16 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

But the whole point of rice is to bulk out more expensive food. Even the expensive Japanese sticky rice is just there to stretch out the actual food.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Well our primary diet is rice lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Caaaaaaaarbs

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

Well then put it into a separate bowl.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Cheese with Japanese curry? Sounds pretty whacky, whatever shape it's in.

Also there's an elegant solution to keeping some rice visible out of the curry and it doesn't involve any extra ingredients.

I don't know about Japanese curry with cheese but it sounds pretty good

I really like saag paneer which is like an Indian curry with firm cheese blocks

[–] [email protected] 9 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Cheese curry is pretty common these days. The cheap chains like Yoshinoya and Sukiya have it, as does Coco's.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Is Japanese curry basically like the curry you would get from a chipper in the UK?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

I'm less familiar with UK curries, but in general Japan tends to prefer sweeter food than India, so the curries would reflect those differences. Nowadays (in the last 5-10 years-ish) spicier options have become more widely available, but the traditional dishes still reflect the differences.

They look like those concrete things that they use to build embankments in the sea.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago

Well, yes. That's the point. You won't believe what they're called.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 hours ago

Isn't that the point? Those shapes are called tetrapod and this pretty much does the same thing preventing curry from mixing with rice. Although I don't understand why you would do that when you end up adding both when you eat anyway.

I see them and I hear the music from Katamari Damacy.

[–] Couldbealeotard 2 points 9 hours ago

Let's get. Together. Katamari on the funk

Captain Janeway doesn't have time to worry about your curry.

[–] latenightnoir 1 points 7 hours ago

Nnnoooo, god damn it! I was in the midst of rewatching Voyager, and now you've seared "Janeway cheese" all across my perception! Thanks...

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod 10 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

All cheese is tetrapod cheese

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

There's plant-based cheese ...

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Yes but that’s also made by tetrapods

[–] [email protected] 4 points 15 hours ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe to you there is. I've never met one that is worthy of the name cheese.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 14 hours ago

Never even tried any of them, because I have yet to see one that isn't just fat (mammal cheese has fat and protein). But I don't like Harzer Roller (a stinky soft cheese), either, and yet most people insist on calling it "cheese".
