Bloody hell, that's a tough start in life. Derby. Jesus. The poor little bastard.That's funny, we had a cat that liked coffee and had a tendency to roll on and mash her face onto fag butts. For a cat that was found as a kitten covered in shit in a shoe box in Derby, she lived a long and happy life.
I think the rice is pressure cooked in the sealed bag, like a tinned product. That's what makes it keep. That's why I'm mystified as to what's gone on. I must confess I'm not familiar with pouch rice manufacture, it's going to be more complex than you imagine for a number of reasons, notably a bacterium called Bacillus cereus which produces heat resistant spores that will survive most cooking this side of a pressure cooking and make you very sick indeed for 24 hours.I believe they sort of blast cook the bags of rice after sealing much like canned goods, Steve will know more.
