I think the most common types of rice for westerners are probably long grain such as basmati rice and short grain used to make paella, but rice variety to westerners is a bit like potatoes to Asians. I don't think any Asian can tell the difference between a maris piper vs a king edward or new potato - or is that just an English thing? ^_^

Hahaha - I know even less about Potatoes apparently :') I know you can cook them (yuck), mash them (more yuck) or bake and fry them (yummee, crispy! :')) and steam them (yummee, with a bit of garlic sauce please!).
Never been a fan of potatoes although my parents made a very very nice garlic mash last time I visited, wish they had raised me on that, but they learned how to 'really' cook only later in life :-)
mmm... never tried garlic mash before, though that sounds interesting. Is that with mashed garlic or garlic bits?
Yes, you can mash and bake the garlic and later incorporate it in the potato mash. I didn't ask for the recipe, but it was freakishly good.
