Would you like a lump of unsalted, uunflavored starch? No? What if we slice it open and dump in a lot of heavy flavor ingredients and spices? That way you can overwhelm your taste buds in the first few forkfuls, and the remaining unflavored mass will taste even blander by comparison!

Who invented this and what did they have against dicing the potato in appropriately sized chunks to absorb and distribute the flavor?

I guess I've only gotten westernized versions. I know sushi rice without the other ingredients is dreadful. I hope that's not it.

    you get that eat the main dish with the rice right? you have a bowl of rice but you have other things and you eat it together. or you have a bowl of rice that is topped with it but not mixed together from the get go. pasta is like this. some mix it all together but some will insist you should have a plate of pasta and then you put the sauce on the top.

    OK, you mentioned earlier eating it pure. Rice as a side dish is common all over.
