You're on a desert island. You've got all the music you need by chance, on vinyl, in good++ condition, with some chipping on the covers. You've even got a good sound system and, somehow, a power source. Solar panels, probably.
What you don't have is a whole lot of sources for calories. You have, in fact, one source: an endless supply of rice. You expect to be stuck here at least a year. You don't get a blend of rices. You don't get some sort of super-processed rice like Rice Krispies or Rice Chex Mix. And for the sake of the exercise, we're going to categorize related grains like QUINOA as "Things that are not rice."
Stuff like YELLOW rice is cheating also, because that's just white rice with spices. If you can harvest spices on the island, crack open a coconut, or catch the odd fish, good for you, but for now, all you're guaranteed is rice, and anything else is just hard work.
