I've given up eating jasmine rice.  It's either so old as to be flavourless, or so adulterated with ordinary rice as to be flavourless.

American's have had Jasmine rice for well over 20 years, probably 30. I once mentioned to some rice farmers down in SE Texas that the Thai growers had obtained a patent, they laughed. Then they said we've been growing it for years.
