X User’s Post About South Indians & Their Love For Rice Goes Viral; Starts Rice Vs Roti Debate On The Internet 

If you’re a South Indian, you’d agree with me that rice is an integral part of our meals. Whether it’s rice with rasam, curd rice, sambar rice or dal chawal, a day without eating rice is a rare one. Well, recently a woman took to X (formerly Twitter) to share about South Indians and their love for rice. Rest assured, it started a rice versus roti debate on X.

X User Feels Her Day Is Incomplete Without Eating Rice

Product Designer, Likitha, in an X post stated, “Problem with being South Indian is that if you don’t have rice once a day, you don’t really feel like you’ve eaten at all”. Her post just proves every South Indian’s love for rice and the fact that rice is a staple component of every meal in a South Indian household. It’s easy to digest, fragrant and soaks in the goodness of gravies, dal, sambar and rasam beautifully. While white rice is packed with carbohydrates, brown rice offers more health benefits like fibre, hence, improving gut health.

In no time, her post was filled with comments, where many folks living in the northern belt of India compare South Indians’ love for rice with their love for roti. @MaheshPawaar writes that he feels the same if they don’t have roti. . @Normal_2610 stated that even people in the North feel the same but they bend towards wheat and roti. However, he adds that North Indians believe rice makes one fat @jchakrab0rty shares that the love for rice is also shared by Indians in the North East.

Netizens From North India Say They Feel The Same About Roti

@punjabiinexile stated that in the case of North Indians, if they have rice even once a day, they feel like they haven’t eaten at all. @amanzrx4 continues the North vs South debate by saying that while his friend Koushith Amin feels incomplete without rice, the X user feels incomplete without a “deck of chapatis”.

Meanwhile, many South Indians agreed with her opinion in huge numbers. @reubence_ said that rice doesn’t taste good until one makes a hole in the centre of the rice mountain and pours hot ghee. @mahendra0203 literally makes foodies salivate by stating that when one has hot rice, saaru (rasam) with some ghee after many days, the feeling is unparalleled.
