Spekko
The first documented account of rice was by a Chinese
emperor about 2,800 BC and it continues to be an integral
part of Chinese life and cuisine. This is probably why
the Chinese word for rice is the same as the word for
food, and instead of asking, “How are you?”
they ask “Have you had your rice today?” |
