Ratatouille. It's mostly vegetarian, but there is one small chicken
breast in it. The question now is what starch to have with it. The heart and stroke recipe calls for serving it on rotini but that has never turned my crank, so I am thinking of rice. |

That's certainly one man's opinion. I like plain white rice alongside other foods. When eating in a Chinese restaurant, I always save a bite or two of plain white rice for the end of the meal.

Well, there's a good idea. I wonder if I can get my wife to go for that. She is not keen on corn. She doesn't even like corn tortillas. Maybe I will do like my mother used to and make and serve it anyway. If there are complaints I can say "I'm sorry dear, I thought you liked it." |

I'll save a bit of plain white rice to eat before or after mixing. |

I do stir fries, curries and things like that and serve them on rice. The rice sops up the sauce. |

Probably because we grew up eating it, are more familiar with it, and like it. I never realized we made a big deal of it. It's just one option among many. We don't even put it on pizza, unlike the English. Cindy Hamilton |

Potatoes and tomatoes are the highest, by virtue of french fries and pizza sauce.
