Really ODD, and totally INCONSISTENT!
I ordered the 6-pack of Miracle Rice, without ever trying them anywhere first. When I opened the box, I noticed only one package looked like it had any "rice" in it, the other 5 looked like mostly water, with a very small amount of product. I cooked the full-looking one first, thinking maybe the others would be the same once opened, but it was not to be the case - the difference in amount of finished rice was radically different! I only know this because eventually tried another package, and it was nothing like the fuller looking package....only about a half-cup of finished "rice"!
As for smell/flavor, when I first opened it, it smelled really fishy. After boiling for 2 minutes, the smell went away, but the texture was really odd - like tiny gelatinous blobs, with no real flavor to speak of.
I definitely can't recommend these, and wouldn't order again.
