Is it normal to dislike rice?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes—it's completely normal to dislike rice. Taste and texture are personal, and you don't have to enjoy a food just because it's popular or common.
Rice can be bland, sticky, grainy, or just the wrong texture for you. Plenty of people dislike it, even if it shows up in lots of meals around the world.
You can skip it or try a different type or preparation if you're curious, but there’s no need to make yourself like it. Food preferences aren’t a character flaw.
