What is your preferred staple food?

  A quick definition : A staple food is a food that is "eaten regularly and in such quantities as to constitute the dominant part of the diet and supply a major proportion of energy and nutrient needs." 

  (Source : Wikipedia, which in turn, extracted that from United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization: Agriculture and Consumer Protection. "Dimensions of Need - Staple foods: What do people eat?". http://www.fao.org/docrep/u8480e/u8480e07.htm. Retrieved 2010-10-15.)

  So... what staple food do you find  yourself consuming most of the time?  Rice? Noodles? Bread? Ramen? Porridge? Pasta?  We're so spoilt for choice in Singapore!

  How can you consume THAT much sugar to provide your MAJOR proportion of energy needs?!    If you do that on a regular basis, you'll become blind, an amputee, and in a diabetic coma!

  I vary the types of carbs that I eat, and sometimes I skip them altogether. They include pasta, cereal, muesli, quinoa, white and brown rice, bread (white, brown, oat, rye), potatoes and noodles.

  I say sugar, then rice. I hate to eat rice, i depend on sugar. One day without ice cream or sweet drinks... i feel like i dun have any energy.
  
  i eat barely less than half a plate of rice everyday.

  Well, I would say porridge, noodles, potato, pasta, oatmeal, wholemeal/whole wheat breads

  Rice is definitely not a staple to me.

  Brown rice is my everyday dinner at home. My family are used to eating such stuffs a few years back although I might like white rice.
