I can’t say I’ve ever thought rice smells like cinema nor popcorn. I associate the smell with China since I spent my earliest years there. My guess is your brain associated that smell with movies for whatever reason (maybe you always got Chinese food at the mall after the movies or something?)
Pretty sure its totaly wrong. There is no connection.
Chinese food, sushi or Indian Wok, all do not have thr smell, compared to me making a specific rice at home at is entirely unrelated.
Another Person commented with a prpbability of the Mailard Reaction, which sounds like it makes the most sense, but I didn’t broke up yhe topic scientifically to say “yeah, that is exactly it”
Why does rice smell like Cinema or Popcorn or smth.
I don’t know if its rice specific and neither do I know what rice I used to cook (I’m not Asian).
Probablt the maillard reaction
I think this makes a bit sense. Yeah
Puffy rice is popcorn without the shells that get stuck in your teeth
