Andrew was out doing the weekly grocery shopping
$55 at Sunland Product (equiv to $120 or more at the supermarkets). Included were 10# Jasmine rice (Thailand) and 10# Aged Basmatti rice (India), fresh herbs and such (cilantro, dill, scallions, chung ho, mint, tarragon, alepo pepper, serrano chilis, jalapeno chilis, Thai chilis, Hungarian green chilis, pasilla chilis, chipotle chilis (canned w/adobo sauce) garlic) a couple of cheeses (Oxaca and "Fresh" (hope it's something like panner)) Ukranian bread, normal fruits and vegetables and a bunch of other stuff.

I use them pretty steadily . .
. . and they keep very well if properly handled, so the green ones will last me about a month (I happened to run out of all varieties at once this week). The dried ones will last a year if kept out of the sun. The canned chipotles in adobo sauce are fabulous in scrambled eggs. The green hungarians I got because I've never tried them and there was a big pile of them - have to decide what to do with them now.

I think few things are more wonderful than...
basmati rice. I love the texture, the flavor and the smell. After having basmati, I wanted to file a class-action suit against Uncle Ben's for false advertising (I don't know what that stuff is that they sell, but it's not rice).
My wife, on the other hand, strongly dislikes basmati rice for some reason. :-(
Cheers, Scott.

Seconded.
Basmati rice has a wonderful, wonderful texture and as part of a meal of curry, pickles (proper Indian lime pickle is a particular favourite of mine due to its hot then sour then GIMME THE WATER IT BURNS IT BURNS flavour), rice and naan bread, it's irreplaceable.

Aged Basmatti is the king of rice . . .
. . if you want flavorful fluffy rice with very separate grains (of course you have to cook it right too). The aged basmatti I buy makes no claim as to how long it's aged, so it's affordable. In India they sell 50-year aged basmatti for a raja's ransom. Basically, the longer it's aged the easier it is to keep the grains separate.
