"I have not eaten purple rice which tasted of beef, but I would absolutely do that, given the chance."

Why is this option missing?

*does not tick anything*

How thoughtless of me!

I see all sorts of reasons to make a follow-up poll now. To specify why the rice was purple at the time. To ask about assumptions as to why the rice tasted of beef. To query as to the desirability of the dish.

Yes, please. My ticky-finger is prepared.

I have...er...created purple rice. I may have been a little worse for wear, and found the entire experience exceedingly giggle-worthy. I blame the cheap red wine, personally... *hic*

(I do not remember it tasting of beef, however...)

A very fine way of achieving it, whether or not one has naturally purple rice to-hand.

I think I would find a bottle of red wine which tasted of beef far more unexpected than rice which did.

I have also had purple rice as a hot dessert with toasted sesame seeds and a sprig of fresh mint. I'm not entirely sure if it was the same variety of rice that tasted of beef though.

It's an ambiguous phrase, but is clearly cooked rice, which means that I was assuming the beef could be cooked into it, via broth likely. On the other hand, if it is rice which naturally and inevitably tastes of beef, yes, that really would be unexpected. Hmm.

The dessert sounds quite appealing.

A delicate shade of rose? An intense day-glo variant?

I made purple rice by mistake once, it may have been red wine that caused it, or maybe red cabbage.

I have seen purple rice (and black and red and many other sorts) but I haven't eaten it so I don't know what it tastes like. Beef seems a bit unlikely though.

I should add that I haven't eaten rice which tasted of beef on its own. The rice I had in mind had absorbed the flavour from actual beef.
The purple rice was in a Thai dessert.

I cook with black sticky rice, which comes out purple after cooking (and you can change the shade with coconut milk). I've never used it wtih beef, though. It's too fruity -flavoured and properly belongs in sweet dishes. Althoguh now I'm wondering...

Also, there's an Indonesian rice that's a paler reddish purple and has a bit less natural sweeetness. That might work better with beef. Only I haven't seen it in eyars.

It is not a made-up thing. Made-up things taste like chicken. Chickens, therefore, may not actually exist.

Purple beef-flavoured things come from purple cows, for which there is over a century of rhyming evidence.
