The staple food in my country is also rice. We eat rice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We like it steamed or fried. We don't feel like we've eaten if we don't have any rice.

Well as a country, I think India does not have any particular staple food…its all regional and certain foods are staple of a particular region. While the north and the west upto the midlands will boast of wheat bread as their staple, the regions of east and south will vouch for rice. I stay in the east so rice is my staple. Dont worry, even my son doesnt like having rice (neither do I)....he's so bored of having it everyday but cant be helped really, you have to make him have rice. For that you'll have to harden your heart and not give in to his demands for milk and bread...gradually he'll come around.

Like you, our staple food is also rice. I think most Asians are having rice as their staple food. Don't worry as long as your son is eating well he will grow up normally.

I live in China. Our staple food are rice and noodles, and sometimes dumplings. I love eating rice a lot, however, I do not like eating noodles very much. But I do like dumplings a lot. We also eat some other food. I like bread and milk for breakfast. Have a nice day!

Here in India the staple food depends on which part you live and belong to - in the North it is wheat but in the South it is rice; and then even when people relocate to the other part they carry on with their traditional food and it may be only the second or 3rd generation switching over to the local staple food
