Are U A Rice Pot??!!!!!

A rice pot is a pot for storing uncooked rice ( this use to be the traditional method ie an earthen pot, but in this modern age plastic container, pail with cover & for lazy bum just leave the uncooked rice in its plastic bag ). Normally in other language this have no special meaning. But if a Chinese call u a rice pot in he is actually scolding u for being stupid or lazy or both that is a 'stupid lazy bum'! Apparently this is one of the Chinese scolding phase.

But to me there is another meaning! I will refer a person as a rice pot if he can't survive without rice! That is he/she must have rice at least once a day! Without having rice he/she feel very hungry. To this person without having rice as meal is like not having meal! Since rice is a stable food for Asian this is understandable.

But in this modern age, do we still must have rice to survive? How about having bread, noodles or any other food beside rice as our stable food? Can u stand without rice for even one day? How about one year? How about not having rice & have ang moh food year in & year out?

I post this up as among my group when attending a wedding in Batu Pahat is an aunty last month. And this aunty can't survive without rice. By rice as meal she meant white rice with verge & maybe some meat! Because of her I have to search the whole town to find a typical Chinese meal! Oh, she also couldn't eat hot food ( if she can then we will have Indian lunch ) & she say she will be sick if she don't have white rice even chicken rice is not good enough! So imagine my frustration! So many different type of food but I can't really enjoy because of this 'rice pot'!!

Actually for me I can survive on any food so long as I can have meat especially pork. Last time when I first venture out of my hometown to work , I spend a few months on bread, noodles ( Maggi mee ) & even bananas as meal ( in fact bananas is very filling, does having a lot of banana do any good for me? I don't know but I did tell ladies I have a lots of banana as meal so they will get the meaning )!

So can u survive without rice? If u can't then I suppose u r a rice pot after all!!
