Well let us see, those of Irish descent eat Irish food (you left out tripe). Asian folk often eat rice, but only the rice from their particular country, any rice not grown in their home country is 'inferior' rice. LoL. It does not matter which Asian country they are from, only that countries rice is good, the others taste bad. I would love to do a double blind taste test on them, but they would have to kill me for tricking them, so I will pass on that. The French people like French food, many of the South Americans seem to be infatuated with beans and chicken, the Italians like Italian food, The native people before us of European stock settled here ate, I am told, mostly buffalo, but to reduce the number of native people, my ancestors killed off the buffalo, so I can't say I know anyone who eats that. so anyway my country (America) being less than 250 years old is too new to have a staple food yet. There is no question beef is on a lot of plates, but so is everything else, even fish and chicken. The really good news is if you have money and hit the restaurants here (or learn to cook well), you can have dinner in Africa on Monday, dinner in Vietnam on Tuesday, dinner in Italy on Wednesday, dinner in India on Thursday, dinner in Japan on Friday, McDonalds burgers on Saturday and finish the week with a Chinese take home meal to watch True Blood over.

No, Pedro. laugh

Ready meals you stick in the microwave until it goes 'ping'.

In other words, I suspect the staple diet of Wales is probably junk.

Most people here in the USA main staple food is fast food.

That's why I've heard that a good of the people are so heavy.


Me I home cook all of my food.

Lamb mostly but sheep as well, also gelded ram

We also eat horse, they taste great, salted or smoked

Asking for a little help here while I try to figure out what American staple is: In the 20's and at least up to the 60's I think it was corn, as so many products were of corn, or had corn and corn by-products in it. It's difficult to tell, as oats and wheat were abundant, too. What do you think?
