When the baccalaureate results were announced this morning, some lucky baccalaureate holders were happy to be able to eat rice tonight. On Twitter, high school students are not lacking in imagination to associate this food with their good results, but why has rice become a festive meal, a symbol of passing the exam?
This Tuesday, July 5, 2022 was marked with a white stone for all high school students in Terminale. Early in the morning, they learned of their baccalaureate results, and from the first publications, a strange trend appeared on Twitter associated with passing the exam: that of eating rice tonight. Obviously, if the happy graduates – and even the others – know what it is, this generational private joke questions more than one… So, why has this so banal food become the festive meal of the best students? We also wanted to understand!
Rice, the trending food of the day on Twitter
Only students who have passed their baccalaureate will enjoy this evening with a dish of rice. A strange meal to celebrate success but regardless, on this special occasion, the food serves as a feast. The Minister of Education may have announced this morning “a downward trend”, many of them display on Twitter, with joy and pride, what will be the main course of dinner! And for the best, those who got a mention, it’s even a matter of having fun with premium quality rice!
Eating rice if you pass the baccalaureate: explanations
But why this food so common as a festive meal? It all starts with this report, last year, where this young man was glad, literally, to eat rice in the evening, as a reward for his success in the baccalaureate. It was done, it therefore became the incongruous symbol of this strange association, which the twittos obviously did not fail to deride. A year later, on the occasion of the results of the bac, the trend is of course reused by the followers of the second degree, on the platform most conducive to the same and other humorous diversions.
After the theory, the practice: here are some culinary suggestions to make this evening, in the absence of a festive meal, an original and exceptional rice recipe. And that the happy graduates “rice” with a good heart!
