Had lunch a few weeks ago at a Mediterranean place. Dish had rice in it... way longer than basmati and with little bumps/ridges or something on it. Google is coming up blank...

Ideas what this was?

you Can get extra long grain basmati rice (almost twice as long as regular), brown rice can sometimes have the little bumps along the length too.

Did it look similar to this? Maybe the bumps and ridges is just breaks in the grain.

Note that rice flavor can also come from preparation. So if it's more then appearance you are after you may just need a better rice cooker. Zojirushi etc.

Maybe a brown basmati cooked so as to create the bumps?
