Why are you trying to keep your rice out of your curry, who eats them separately, that's insane
- Because I like to eat fluffy rice, not soaking wet rice.
  
  But the whole point of rice is to bulk out more expensive food. Even the expensive Japanese sticky rice is just there to stretch out the actual food.
  
  Well then put it into a separate bowl.
- Seriously. Soak my rice in my curry, soak my rice in my butter chicken, and soak my rice in my caldo and menudo. That's what that shit is for!
Cheese with Japanese curry? Sounds pretty whacky, whatever shape it's in.

Also there's an elegant solution to keeping some rice visible out of the curry and it doesn't involve any extra ingredients.
- Cheese curry is pretty common these days. The cheap chains like Yoshinoya and Sukiya have it, as does Coco's.
  
  Is Japanese curry basically like the curry you would get from a chipper in the UK?
- I don't know about Japanese curry with cheese but it sounds pretty good
  
  I really like saag paneer which is like an Indian curry with firm cheese blocks
Okay but isn't it the whole purpose of the rice, to be flooded with curry?
Caltrop cheese
Captain Janeway doesn't have time to worry about your curry.
- Nnnoooo, god damn it! I was in the midst of rewatching Voyager, and now you've seared "Janeway cheese" all across my perception! Thanks...
They look like those concrete things that they use to build embankments in the sea.
- Isn't that the point? Those shapes are called tetrapod and this pretty much does the same thing preventing curry from mixing with rice. Although I don't understand why you would do that when you end up adding both when you eat anyway.
- I see them and I hear the music from Katamari Damacy.
  
  Let's get. Together. Katamari on the funk
- Well, yes. That's the point. You won't believe what they're called.
All cheese is tetrapod cheese
- There's plant-based cheese ...
  
  Yes but that’s also made by tetrapods
  
  Maybe to you there is. I've never met one that is worthy of the name cheese.
That's an insane amount of curry and cheese for that tiny portion of rice.
- That half of the plate is really deep.
And here I was pouring my curry directly over my rice, like a fool.
Humans are also tetrapods
- Only some of us are
How the hell could a tetrapod

Be able to blend in?
Hast thou considered the tetrapod cheese?
