to ask if Italians and any of you eat brown pasta

[MoYerBoat]

because, according to many a Mumsnetter, white pasta is the work of the devil.

So do they eat white or brown pasta in Italy - home of pasta.

And what about brown rice - who eats that?

(Badly worded OP but really would like answers)

[duchesse]

there's a particularly good paragraph in this article about white rice and beriberi.
