Looks like your mum is a health freak like mine
When I go home for dinner, rice is like a mixture of white rice,
brown rice and other grains.
I'm not even sure if I can call it rice... It's more like a
mixed grain dish :P
For breads, we like mixed grain or wholemeal breads :)
Actually, I first persuaded my parents to try it more than 10
years ago after reading about it. 
My uncle makes some interesting varieties of bread with his
bread machine, sometimes adding fruit and nuts to the dough. I
waiting to try Welsh laver bread, and I miss flat dark rye
bread.
