Might not know what I’m talking about, but as of 10 years ago when I was there: Depended on where you were traveling. French might be more common.

As a korean, I don’t think I’ve ever gotten sick from eating a day old rice. Does it only affect white people?
I’ve eaten rice held for hours up to days at room temperature all my life on account of being Asian and I’m sure many others have. I’m not going to deny the possibility of bacteria but it doesn’t really seem like this is something that’s going to kill you and I’m inclined to think that leaving rice at room temperature…
I thought “Bacillus Cereus” was a character on Spartacus.
On a scale from “1” to “listeria” the amount of stomach trouble I would expect a bowl of rice to give me falls…
