Mississippi Rice


Sorry this picture is fuzzy, but I was trying to take it discreetly in the grocery store this morning. I guess Mississippi is a rice growing state, but I had no idea that identifying it as such would help to sell it in Europe. On the side of the box is a little picture of Mississippi with the central region of the state circled and highlighted as the point of origin of this rice. I don't know if I've ever seen Mississippi rice in Memphis.

As another reminder of Memphis, I also saw this book on Memphis music in the bookstore today. Who knew there were so many Franco-Memphis-Mississippi connections?
