      Huh. What about Rice bread? (Bread made from rice)? One on top of my head is Chawal Ki Roti or Rice flatbread.

    2. Is this actually ‚bread vs rice‘ or is it ‚wheat vs rice‘? Including boiled wheat like noodles and not only baked wheat like bread and bao.

    3. I think wheat and rice is better name.

      And the map is wrong at least in Chinese part, the main staple food of Northeast is rice.

      Maharashtra eats more Wheat or Jwari than rice. So this map is close, but not perfect.

      I can’t think of place in China where they have bread as primary source of carb, maybe Xinjiang but even the Uyghurs consumes rice

      West Asia and Pakistan are both rice and bread bar Turkey and the Caucuses I guess.

      Rice, yes! When I brought my mum (from Malaysia) to Australia for holidays, I planned to her try things such as ciabatta, pizza, yeeros/gyros, fish and chips, etc. but she started complaining on the 2nd day and insisted we go somewhere that serves rice, because in her words: „Which lunatic eats bread every day?!“

      We do eat bread, but bread is usually seen as the kind of food you fall back on if you are unable to eat a „proper“ rice-based meal for any reason.

      Like: „We have to head to the airport at 5am, there’s nothing to eat at that time so let’s buy some bread rolls to eat. Then we’ll have a proper meal (rice or noodles) when we’re at the airport“.

      In China, Shandong and Henan are red but I’d say they are roughly 20% rice and 80% wheat based provinces so it’ll make more sense if they are green. It’s quite important as these two provinces together have over 200 million people.

    9. It would be more accurate to label it as „wheat“ rather than bread. People in Northern China eat more wheat noodles and dumplings. People in the south eat more rice noodles and wontons. Some parts of northern China also eat a lot of wheat bread, like Xinjiang.

      in many areas of China&India, wheat or rice is not an opinion, they can plant wheat in winter and rice in summer

      How in the world is this ?

      Surely the Bread eaters also dabble with rice.

      I mean is a savoury carbs, that is cushy and munchy

      I genuinely don’t think Northeast China’s (Manchuria) diet is that different from Korea.

    13. The_Janitor66 on

      Doesn’t Manchuria produce like 20% of China’s rice despite only having like 5% of the population

      I’m surprised nobody has mentioned Iran yet. I’m no expert on the Persian diet, but they sure do seem to eat a lot of rice for a “bread” country.

      Touched me personally because I was on a “special diet” where rice was dominant and gluten…not so much

      Middle east eats bread for Breakfast and rice for most of their meals for dinner.

    17. As someone from Sindh (the South-east Pakistani state), people love both wheat and rice here. Many houses have the tendency to eat wheat rotis for lunch, and rice for dinner. We also eat rice rotis, and even mango with rice.

      In some parts of India we eat chapati (can be considered bread) one time of the day and rice one time of the day.
