sereeq

What is the matter with Mary Jane?
She's perfectly well and she hasn't a pain,
And it's lovely rice pudding for dinner again!
--A. A. Milne

I was invited to dinner, and was exposed to an unfamiliar version of a very familiar dish.

According to Wikipedia, rice pudding is found throughout the world, usually sweet and served for dessert.

I got the version from Saudi Arabia, called sereeq, which is savory and served as a main course. It was presented in a large bowl with chicken artistically arranged on top.

So another, rather different version, of chicken and rice.
