Well being as I am a former chef and have used alot of wild rice over the years did a stint in Winnipeg back in the 1980's with CP Hotels!.
Wild rice is an addition to a rice pilaf or as a fragrant addition to a stuffing for poultry, game or fish!. I would not use it alone, to strong and expensive to go it alone, and it bursts when cooking, as it is not really a true rice but a seed from a native wild grass!.
I even used it in Singapore when with CP, there it is a real delicacy, now a days you can find it in the grocery stores in a white and wild rice mix or packets of pre mixed flavour enhanced mixes!.
History wise the Native tribes in Manitoba, Ontario and Saskatchewan have been farming it in a way for centurys going back before the settlements were ever around, they beat the plants (which grow in marshes) with 2 sticks knocking the mature grains into there canoes and the grains are collected and the processed on shore for sale!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
