kp posted:Tell me what Drugb said was wrong, he stated that Traditionally rice is an Asian food. Well what is wrong? You pick something up from the Internet and post with out relevance.
His implication was that its only when Indians arrived that rice was used in Guyanese cooking.
If he wants to get technical then he needs to refer to SOUTHEAST Asia because this is where most tropical edible foods originated. Not India. By the time the Americas was settled by Euro/African peoples these foods had spread from Africa to the far reaches of the Pacific and foods like coconuts even to the Americas, carried their by ocean currents.
Corn, taken to the Americas by Columbus, became a core part of the diet of Africans long before many of these peoples began to have sustained contact with Europeans.
