No one expects rice pilaf to be very good. It's just there as pretty filler, much like parsley or the forgotten lettuce pieces. So, if this is the view that we take on filler items, why would they desire to be any better? I think that if we take, say rice pilaf, into our responsibility very similar to a "White Man's Burden" we can improve rice pilaf into being a better side dish. It could be on the same level as raw cookie dough for a side dish. The novelty could be there! Then if rice pilaf feels our pleasant association with the eating the dish it's innards would bust out glory onto our taste buds. We need to make rice pilaf feel like being delicious and wonderful. Down to the last pilaf plate every one would have George Ramsey's approval.
Next time you sit down and start to eat rice pilaf think, "I am bettering society?" If you're not, then maybe you should start. And start with that tiny, insecure plate of rice pilaf. Eventually you can change disappointment into extreme satisfaction.
