Mine is plain/lightly salted Doritos/tortilla chips dipped/scraped in unsalted butter.

I'm now wondering whether this is a little too specific of a question and I just really needed somewhere to get this off my chest...

    It's not necessary from a hygiene standpoint in developed countries, but from a culinary standpoint it can be necessary to wash depending on the dish and the type of rice. But it can also just as much be necessary not to wash for certain dishes. The powdery free starch that coats the outside of the grain can make the rice clumpier, need for, for example, risotto and paella.

        Washing rice does not remove arsenic. If you want to remove arsenic, studies show you have to boil and drain it like pasta, which is what some cultures do, but others find the idea repulsive.
