A dish that was ordered for lunch today was described as “accompanied by rice”. This is quite obviously not rice. The colour is of course provided by a sauce. This was takeout so it was not a matter of asking the server. Hoping somebody here can identify it. I am not a green eater.

Thanks I will now wipe the egg off my face! @Kerry Bealsaid it was  barley  and I argued. After this many years you would think I would learn.

How did it taste? These grains look nice and distinct...sometimes when I've made barley it all clumps together in a soft mash, maybe too much water..

Over cooked barley is enough to put anyone off.
