Normal price £16.98. Available both online and instore. Plenty in stock today at the Walthamstow branch. Laila Basmati is one of the better quality brands. I've seen this come down to £10 in the past but I don't think the price has been this low. It's probably a seasonal offer as Ramadan will start in about a month's time.

I was born in London and speak English. My white friends in school considered me to be English. You can have brown skin and still be English, or Scottish or Welsh. My parents were born in what later became Bangladesh, so I am of Bangladeshi origin. I have relatives in Wales who were born in the UK and consider themselves to be Welsh. Funny how we always hear about the need to 'integrate' but some do not accept you as 'English' because of the colour of your skin.

He didn't say he was "English Bangladeshi"- you said that. His exact words were "I'm English but of Bangladeshi origin". He has not stated he was 2 nationalities.

I'm sorry you think that. Myself and my relatives eat quite a bit of rice as it is a staple of our diet (I'm English but of Bangladeshi origin). We all love this rice. In the past I have bought Laila broken Basmati for £5.50 for 5 kilos so this is a very good deal. I even heard one of the shop floor workers in the Walthamstow branch saying they wanted to buy it before it ran out.

Tilda is premium quality rice and is better than Laila. But Asda is selling 10 kilos for £22 at the moment so it's not really affordable for someone like me.

You can't be English. On these 'Asian' deals, English people only say '10 kg rice/ flour/onions? That'll last me a year'
Or words to that effect :man::stuck_out_tongue::confused:

It really doesn't matter where you were born you parents could've given birth in China your not going to be Chinese are you. My point is if your parents are Bangladeshi and came to this country back in the 90s then you were born in this country that makes you British but your still a Bangladeshi so I understand I don't mean to offend you in any way.

Tilda in my and family members opinion is much better, as
a) it doesn't smell dodgy. often these cheap rice brands smell slightly strange when cooked. Not sure exactly why, but can be off putting for some. Like my wife and inlaws.
b) it's white as opposed to a yellowish colour.
That said, I would say this is a great deal for a reasonable rice.

I'll try a bag, worse case scenario I will try mixing some of it with the Tilda basmati and see if that works if not I'll use it up some how....
