Purple Rice?

We have pop-up places at work, where local vendors visit for one day with food. It is cooked already, they just keep it warm. It is part of a service called Fooda. There is daily rotation.

Today, there was one place with what looked like Korean food. But I do not know much about it. I just looked at it and pointed at what I saw and like: potatoes, carrots, and beef. And teriyaki sauce.

They were out of white rice but had "purple rice."

I was like, "What's that? I have never heard of it before."

She said, "It is a mix of white and wild."

I asked, "So, it is still rice, just purple?"

"Yeah", she said.

"OK, I'll have purple."

I am eating it now. Yum. The beef is good, too.

Purple rice. You learn something new every day!

The rest of the food has normal colors though, yet tinted now by teriyaki sauce.
