Ah Yep we have it here too, McCafè. I am surprised too by how their cappuccino, caffè and brioches are good! I tend to have things than normally you can’t find at caffetterie like pancakes, waffles, just to have something new, although I am not particularly impressed by those :unsure:

Ummm... Rice-a-Roni is just a brand name of packaged rice and spice blends in the US and Canada. There is no "roni." I don't no where the "roni" in the name came from.

In Australia we have Rice a Riso, which has been around for ages. I certainly remember it was around growing up in the 70's. I couldn't tell you what it tastes like though... presumably the flavours have evolved over the years.

According to Wiki it contains pasta (hence the 'roni')

Rice-A-Roni is a pilaf-like boxed food mix that consists of rice, vermicelli pasta, and seasonings. To prepare, the rice and pasta are browned in butter, then water and seasonings are added and simmered until absorbed. It is a product of PepsiCo's subsidiary of the Quaker Oats Company.

History:
In 1890, Italian-born immigrant Domenico DeDomenico[1] moved to California, where he established a fresh produce store. A successful businessman, he married Maria Ferrigno from Salerno, Italy. Back home, her family owned a pasta factory, so in 1912 she persuaded him to establish a similar business in the Mission District of San Francisco. The enterprise was Gragnano Products, Inc. It delivered pasta to Italian stores and restaurants in the area.

DeDomenico's sons, Paskey, Vince (1915–2007), Tom, and Anthony, worked with him. In 1934, Paskey changed the name to Golden Grain Macaroni Company. Tom's wife, Lois, was inspired by the pilaf recipe she received from Armenian immigrant Mrs. Pailadzo Captanian, to create a dish of rice and macaroni, which she served at a family dinner. In 1958, Vince invented Rice-A-Roni by adding a dry chicken soup mix to rice and macaroni. It was introduced in 1958 in the Northwestern United States and went nationwide four years later. Because of its origins, it was called "The San Francisco Treat!".
