Guys......
listen to a 100% italian, buy at least Barilla (500g should be around 1.10, 1.30 max), forget about unico.....(in Italian means unique).
I you want to step up, try De Cecco or Garofalo (this is expensive....)
Comment about Rice? ask a chinese, for pasta you need an italian!

Where can one find Barilla? Specialty stores?

RCSS carries both Barilla and De Cecco...

If you like chinese rice, get the Rooster Brand at RCSS (sale prices usually $25 for the big bags 30-40 lbs). Best if you cook in a rice cooker (5-10 bucks for a 4-6 cup cooker). 1 cup of rice to 1 cup of water usually, depends on your liking and the cooker. Yes I'm Asian, and I do prefer this rice. :cheesygri

this would be hot if they were 900g bags... the 900g used to sell for $0.49, $0.69 before the big hike... now one can find them at $1.99 everywhere...

Didn't Marco Polo go to the orient, and steal the idea of Pasta from asians?? hehehh...

Food Basics has pasta on for $1 for 900 grams starting tomorrow (Friday).
The brand is Primo if that matters. I find they're all basically the same.

Please explain in physical terms what makes one brand better than another. I'd hate to think something is better just because I pay more for import costs.

Ironically, I bet most North Americans would prefer the style of pizza we have here to real Italian style pizza.

I just buy whatever whole wheat pasta is on sale, occasionally the fresh stuff, can't tell when its sauced.
Better for you.

thats a range of 10-30% more in prices, to me as long as is edible and cheap is okay, i don't see a point of having $1.30 pasta comapred to $1 ones, the are similar...as for rice, doesn't matter either,

[danned]

ya, i go check out tomorow :D

can you even taste the difference between 2 pastas? Italian brands cost 30-50% more.

Pasta tastes the same to me regardless unless it's whole wheat versus white pasta.
