I'm kind of ordinary...if it's with a meal I just add a little butter, salt, and pepper. When I was growing up It was eaten for desert on occasion, while still hot add a little milk and sugar. Next time I cook it I may try adding different spices to see how it turns out.

@indyjoe do you mean rice pudding? I like it too, especially with cinnamon on top!
Spices are great and can make a simple food so much more interesting.

@HannibalAteMeOut No...I know and like rice pudding myself. I'm just referring to plain cooked rice.

@indyjoe There is an Indian recipe using long-grain rice cooked low with milk, cardamom seeds, chunks of cinnamon sticks, a couple cloves and some black pepper seeds. Takes a long time to cook but it’s very good.
