I feel the opposite -- once I start eating whole-wheat pasta, I find
that after awhile I prefer it.
I'm lucky in that not only can I buy dried, whole-wheat pasta (TJ's
being perfectly acceptable), I can locally buy both fresh flat whole-wheat
pasta, and fresh extruded whole-wheat pasta.
For some dishes I do want refined-wheat pasta, but maybe only 10%
of the time. I do lean a little bit in that direction when having
dinner guests.

I know where to find all the colors of regular rice now. Going on the
lookout for black rice pasta.
What do you serve with black rice,
black beans? Are black soy beans the same as plain old black beans?

outside of the good ol' USofA.
Like many in this group.
Friends and I were only talking about this issue a short while back. The
'younger' friends were quite shocked to hear that I used to have a
container of MSG in my spice rack back in the 80's. I'llk have to have a
look in the supermarket next time and see if they've brought it back in.
It was quite the hoo-haa back when the MSG witchhunt was on. Chinese
restaurants putting up *huge* signs saying "We have no MSG in our
food".... all because a few people got headaches from it!! I'd been using
it for decades and never had a problem, and no-one who ate my food ever
had a problem either.

The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

"Man" and "Andy" in the same sentence ? You're trying to talk to a piece

sure isn't anything even remotely related to "man".
Second mistake : "Brain" and "Andy" are mutually exclusive.

I used to think I was one of the people who get
headaches due to MSG. When I finally diagnosed
the cause, it was bean protein, especially tofu.
It took me nearly 40 years to figure this out.
Because tofu is commonly used in Asian restaurants,
I was getting the headaches from eating their food
and I assumed that the MSG scare stories were true.
About a tablespoon of tofu is enough to give me
a headache. I avoid it like the plague these days.
The headaches it gave me are genuine migraine headaches,
as evidenced by the "fortifications" hallucination,
which I have seen twice. That's definitive for the
diagnosis of migraine. I'm lucky I can avoid migraines
solely through management of my diet. Many people
can't do that, and suffer terribly. I almost never
get headaches, and when I do I try to track down
their cause. Withdrawl from caffeine can do it to me.
It's been over 10 years since I had a migraine headache.
I've known people who have been plagued by them their
whole adult life. I'd suggest trying a rotation diet
if that happens to you.

My guess is that the MSG scare started in the 60s when The Reader's
Digest printed an article on the so-called "Chinese Restaurant
Syndrome." Any research I've seen is pretty old and it's basically
states that very few persons will have this reaction. OTOH, there's all
kinds of stuff in Chinese food so the original studies may be flawed
anyway. It could be that there's toxins in the rice stemming from
fungus, at least that's what I've read. My feeling is that if it tastes
good and doesn't kill you, it's good eats.
What's weird is that people will carry on about MSG and still have no
problem with guzzling alcohol drinks whose long term toxic effects are
well documented and is responsible for tens of thousands of deaths each
year. Go figure.

By mistake instead of cottage cheese I picked up sour cream... I'm not
sure how I'll use it but I've been sneaking big licks, yummy! I don't
like low fat cottage cheese either. I'm glad this is full fat sour
cream, a full quart... I wish I had a mountain of strawberries.

There are so many lowfat cheeses in the world they cannot be all bad.
I like TJ's reduced fat "Celtic Cheddar". Also, TJ's goat cheddar
is about as low fat as the reduced-fat cow cheddar.
Some varieties of cheese are naturally low fat, including mozzarella.

It's easy to conclude the headache trigger was MSG.

I've gotten red and black rice at a specialty shop. I haven't tried

I've had white rice and black beans. It would be poetic to combine
black rice with white beans.
No. Black soy beans are the lowest carb legume I know of. They are
popular among low carbers for that reason. They have more flavor that
uncolored soy beans but less flavor than most types of beans. Pretty
mild tending toward bland but that describes many types of beans. More
so than most. Black soy beans have the same sort of texture and mouth
feel as other types of beans and they are a good source of vegitable
protein and fiber without having as much digestible carb as any other
type of bean.
Mixing black soy beans into rice would work just fine but it loses the
point of their being an option for folks trying to keep their carb count
under 50 grams per day. Not an issue for anyone not a low carber.
