Aromatic Rice.
I keep two varieties of long grained aromatic rice: aged Basmati (generally Royal brand, though Elephant and several others are just fine) and Jasmine (generally Baby Elephant brand - I'm not too hot on Goya products but that rice is good).
Aged Basmati is veeery long grain but a bit dry for non-Indian dishes. Jasmine is a better all purpose rice in my opinion and I use it not only for Southeast Asian dishes but Chinese as well (well, so would the Chinese if they could afford it).
For Japanese where you need a medium grain rice I prefer Kokuho Rose which I definitely prefer to Calrose.
Now as to stuff you may have down there that I don't have here, I'm particularly interested in chilis that are not yet listed on my [link|http://www.clovegarden.com/ingred/chili.html|Chili Page].
