[Sca-cooks] Rice in al-Warraq (was: Side Dishes for al-Warraq)

[Terry Decker]

What would be more telling is how other cereals were prepared.  Were all 
cereals used strictly as flour or were they cooked as whole or cracked 
grain?  And how were they prepared?

I'll verify once I'm home from work, but I'm pretty sure that nearly all
of the rice dishes in al-Warraq are pudding and the like made from rice
flour. Whole grains of rice cooked as a starch sin't something that
you'll find, IIRC. Again, I'll check later this evening to make sure.
But it has nothing to do with cost.
