Even with weiners beef is not very popular. In the Middle East > turkey rules. Sheldon has a spectacular knack for being spectacularly wrong. Rice is certainly the most-eaten grain. Though Corn and Wheat are grown more, they are processed into other products (corn oil+corn syrup+cornstarch, and flour for bread), and eaten "as-is" comparatively rarely. Here are some facts, to get the taste of Sheldon's imagination out of your eyes: The world's three biggest plant crops, in millions of metric tons (billions of kilograms): corn 677 wheat 615 rice 406 The U.S. grows about one-third of the world's corn (maize), only about 8% of the world's wheat, and only about 2% of the world's rice. China produces 15% of the wheat, 20% of the corn, and over 30% of the rice. (http://www.fas.usda.gov/wap/circular...05-12/toc.html) The world's four biggest animal crops for human consumption (million metric tons): pork 97 fish 70 beef 53 poultry 61 The U.S. produces 25% of the poultry, 20% of the beef, and 10% of the pork. It is by far the biggest single-country producer of beef or poultry, but China produces more than five times as much pork (more than half the world total), while producing only 15% of the poultry and 15% of the beef. (http://www.fas.usda.gov/dlp/circular...6-03LP/toc.htm) While 120 million tons are actually caught,only 70 million tons of fish production are designated as food for humans. The rest go presumably as feed for the other animals, fertilizer for the plant crops, bait for other fish, etc. (http://www.fao.org/documents/show_cd...e/y4743e04.htm) I recommend to Sheldon to search the net for middle-eastern recipes, then tell us how many contain chicken, and how many contain other fowl. It's doubtful anyone in the Middle East could tell a turkey from a Turk. As for potatoes, the world produces about 300 million metric tons, of which 20% grow in China. The U.S. is fourth at about 7%, behind Poland and Russia. Ireland doesn't even make the top 14 for national production. However, Ireland is third in per-capita production, behind Russia and Poland, each of which has double Ireland's productivity per person.

So they claimed, Americans had a higher incidence of colon cancer from fatty foods. The Asians had a higher incidence of stomach cancer from rice. Can't say whether it was proven out in the medical journals of science. Andy |

I'll admit I've never eaten it, but I was 10 feet away when our host opened a can of surstromming on the back patio (his wife's stipulation) and you never saw a crowd clear out so fast. Everyone who wasn't trying to be a macho hero quickly decided they MUST investigate the FRONT yard. OMG, that stuff reeked! gloria p |

Is this the stuff that builds up pressure so that a can of it is more spherical than cylindrical? --Blair |

>I would imagine that the answer would be bread or some variation, or >some sort of grain. I totally agree that taken as a group, domesticated grasses (including wheat, rice, and corn) are the most famous in terms of their effect on history, anthropology, and civilization. Which of these three is most important is highly regional, but since wheat was domesticated 2000 or 3000 years before rice (as long ago as 8000 years B.C.), and was a critical part of the very earliest human civilizations, I'd have to give wheat (and by extension, wheat bread) the nod as the most famous food ever.

Perhaps also the hot spices. In China the poor eat dishes that are only roasted chillis. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music, Recipes, Photos, and mo http://www.sequoiagrove.dk "You don´t frighten us, English pig-dogs!
