They like most other chinese take away's give the rice as part of the main dish, so they dont get €1.50 per portion.
That's great then, but the post I quoted referred to the owner telling you he should be charging double for rice than he does. Twice nothing is still nothing.;-)
I dont' think theres much difference in taste for the price if your goal is to eat on a prudent budget especially since the flavors in the meals I make would come from the portion of the food added to the rice. I found my rice improved siginficantly once I left behind this ''boil in the bag'' idea and put the rice loose into a pot.
I would never use boil in the bag as it is even more expensive.
Just seen this website being advertised on the Bargain Alerts board and the cheapest rice these guys have on offer is 10Kg bags of long grain rice for €9.85 http://www.fairfayre.com
prices have doubled in past year or so.
At retail you don't see a 100% increase as the processing & packaging costs are stable.
The retailers can absorb a doubling in price and still make a profit at 1.19 euro per kg ? Would that not mean they had a truly massive markup beforehand ?
