“Kṛṣṇa! There are things cooked in oil and in ghee, are there not? People keep even those for a second and a third day and eat them, do they not? What about them?” “Brother-in-law! There is no connection between such things and rice, that is, things cooked in water. But even they are not good to eat once they have begun to smell bad; there is nothing wrong in eating them before they smell. Food of rajoguṇa is the opposite of all the sāttvika foods described above: too much salt, too much chilli, too much sweetness, too much heat, too much sourness, things that give off a bad smell. All these make rajoguṇa grow.”
