Is rice a requirement for a meal for everyone else? Just curious, is this a sign of gullah geech?

[lowkey0z]

rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes, i like to switch it up between those 3

That's not a geechie specific or requirement y'all was probably just broke and it made meals easier




Or maybe the people cooking just had a preference and that's all it was like most people, it mighta been a way for them to save money tho, fill ya up with rice


Why wouldn't you ask your own family first?



You MIGHT see pork n beans + rice but even then most people walking right past that shyt and going for the BBQ shyt off the grill

Its a caribbean/african thing. Rice is pretty much the default for every meal, white rice rice and peas rice and beans etc you name it

I been knew the answer, this just conversation. There's a reason certain tribes were brought here in the slave trade!

Pasta >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rice

Pasta is 10x more versatile for meals and better for energy

Every meal had rice, a veggie, and a meat. Rice is cheap and tastes good. I eat it all the time.

Where are you from? Are you a norther bruh?

It's not a REQUIREMENT but rice is present in 90% of the meals I prep. I ain't Geechee at all tho, it's just common sense: Filling meal at a fraction of the price

rice and beans/peas

Not gonna front. I get pissed when restaurants make rice a separate side item. I don’t like that

Nah don't do that lol. I grew up where rice was a big staple in my family, and still is

Just as I grew up I stopped eating it. Makes me feel sluggish. Pasta is way better to eat

Charleston, SC native sir…feel naked without it. Grits or rice was a must with almost every meal growing up.

 

[levitate]

My wife is Asian.

Yes.

EVERY dinner has rice.

Like…she damn near gets upset if there is no rice.

My family is largely Caribbean/southern flavored n rice is a staple.

We don't do mashed potatoes like that at all.

Once in a blue moon.

White rice/rice n peas.

If we put out a spread at Thanksgiving n swapped rice for mashed potatoes I promise there's gonna be words.

What’s interesting is almost all cultures in the world eat the same staples. Grains(rice, wheat or corn). Tubers (potatoes and cassava).

Inuits may be the only people I can think of that didn't traditionally rely on these staples.

As someone who lived in Charleston for the later half of my childhood, if you eat rice with every meal you are Geechee.....
