We use brown rice almost all the time, except for certain recipes that call for white long grain. We never use "instant" or "quick" rice.
Brown rice, some frozen peas, sliced green onion, good fresh grated Parmesan cheese, butter, salt & pepper, is wonderful.

I've never liked rice, and culturally it's not part of a Southerners' diet (U.S.A.).
In Peru, I've only met 2 or 3 Peruvians who also find rice distasteful. It's a staple to their diet, a usually unadorned main dish to the meat and boiled potatoes. (It's definitely not a side dish; and boy, do they pack those plates full of meat and rice!) I've now lived here 12 years and I know Peruvian food. Much of it is very tasty, indeed.
