Rice is a staple food in my country. Every meal, there must be rice in the table. It doesn't matter if you are rich or poor, everyone can afford to buy rice and everyone is willing to eat rice. That is why I can't imagine living in countries who does not consider rice as a staple food but bread and mash potatoes instead. Without rice, other vians seem to be dead. FOr asians like me, if I were ask to bring any food in an island, it would be rice.

Yes i believe so because thats what we get used too since birth. Though i am a Rice person i also believe in changes, just in case if i will be relocated in other country that has no rice perhaps i will learn to like their food in order to survive. If i get used too then my body will adjust but of course once in a while i will eat a rice whenever there is.

I am Asian too and I thought I couldn't live without rice. then I started cooking with pasta and get used to it. I still love Asian egg noodles and sohun. I am not very fond of Spaghetti but definitely I know I can live without rice now. Sure I'll eat local food with rice when I visit my family back home.

In my country lot of food types are available. But the famous thing which is loved by south indians is rice... Without rice i cant live... really it is an amazing food as well as a boon which is high in nutrient content and any sidish can match it... we can either boil it and eat or we can grind and it can be used to prepare dosai or idly...
Am really proud to eat rice.. do u?

You're from PI right? Well in some part of our country, people deal their daily life so hard that can't afford to serve rice for 3 meals a day. So they use some substitute like sweet potato, cassava, and corn. In Manila alone most people in depress area make pandesal as their only food for breakfast. Sometimes I just wonder when our President will fulfill her promise of food in every table of Filipino family.
