[edit] American Rice Cakes

I believe that this article would benefit from a discussion of the American variant of rice cake. Completely different from its asian counterparts, American rice cakes are produced from puffed rice that are formed and shaped into round discs.  Unsweetened rice cakes are popular with American dieters due to their low calorie content.

This article shouldn't appear under the title "Rice cake" because the crispy kind mentioned above, made of puffed rice, is completely different. I propose moving to "glutinous rice cake," with redirects from Chinese "nian gao," Japanese "mochi," and Korean "duk." The article would describe all three. Badagnani 22:38, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

I think an article about the American rice cakes, flavored by butter/cheese/etc needs to be written; covering flavors, cost, brands, and manufacture etc. Will try to add to article requests soon (in the morning), unless someone else does (especially if I forget).
