The rice is about 6 us measuring cups worth, and 1 cup is enough for 2 people to have a meal after it soaks up a bunch of water (plus a bit little vodka and sugar for taste).
The Flour can make several loaves of bread as well, it's about 5000 Calories for that bag without considering oil added for a nice focaccia or butter and milk for a classic brioche.
If each person gets this then it can ~~be sufficient~~ last a week or two, but I assume it was supplementary in nature.
There's no yeast included though. Are they also maintaining a sourdough starter with that ration? Also a brioche would probably use up quite a bit of their ration for the month and possibly last about a week. Lastly, who puts vodka in rice?
Ah right, Monthly lol I was thinking more like weekly or biweekly. Yeah, this isn't enough.
Vodka: 10/10 with rice
Questions comrade?
The vodka acts as a sort of Rice Vinegar replacement, I would stir it in after the rice has cooked since alcohol evaporates at lower temp.
I imagine people with limited resources who are receiving rations that include a handful of items that you occasionally need to get creative with.
It's like the show Chopped, but much less fun.
One cup of uncooked rice does not make enough for me for dinner, I don't know how you think two can dine on that.
Well, the typical serving size for uncooked rice is 1/2 cup. Or 1/4 cup if it's a side dish. That's typically what I make for my wife and I when we have rice. Perhaps you just like more than the average person does?
Yet 1/2c is the serving size. I can never decide if that’s a useless fiction or a good reminder that rice is a lot of carbs. Anyhow, I’m down to 1.5c (uncooked) for two people
Fluffy rice is pretty filling, imo.
