A journeytrip to find rice

Living in France means obtafinding rice is not always easy.

Of course, if you pay a higher price than, you would get it for sure, like most of the commodities in this 21st century.

But a commoner like me needs to find anthe option available as cheap as possible, or at least the ones only slightly more expensive than the ones I used to buy in my home country.

There is a brand that I hadve been purchasing since last February because of its modest price and the customer service of a in the supermarket which sells this item.

However, last month, after opening it, we found some insects and pieces of cardboard in the rice before opening them, making the brand unviablea poor choice.

So we were forced to embark on a journey to search for a product that is safe enough to consume.

In France, if it's not an Asian store, jJapanese rice is sold as "riz pour sushi", that is "rice for sushi" in English, although, obviously, we use that rice for other recipes as well.

it is a staple diet which appears very frequently in everyday meals, even thought the consumption is declining gradually due to the westernisation of taste.

Today at a supermarket my husband and I stopped byat, we found one rice brand of rice that was cheap enough to meet our demands.

We put about 20 of them in our shopping bag (each rice bag contained 500g so in total the purchase amounted toat was 10kg), and we proceeded to a cashier.the checkout.

We take outplaced all the bags of rice, and at that point in front of the cashier who made an expression a little bitof astonished by the amount.number of bags.

WithConsidering his reaction, I noticed that customers around us shwould think that we were going to make tons of sushi because, after all that's what Japanese people would do.

I have encountered this type of misunderstanding several times, whichand I corrected it each time.

But herein this instance, it would be weird to start talking about our dinner or how we would treatuse the ingredients, so all I could do was to imagining howe what the others were thinking ofabout us at that moment.

“and the service of a supermarket which sells this item.“
I’m sorry, but I’m unsure as regards to what you mean here.

To me, “strange” frankly sounds more natural than “weird”, maybe because weird might be used more often in informal contexts.
