Rice rules our kitchen, pasta and bread are tied for second place, and potatoes are far behind in last place.

Rice. I grew up in an Italian family where pasta was always the first course served at any meal, and I have just gotten sick of pasta (I still will never order pasta when eating out.) In the past year or so I can't get enough rice. It's so versatile.

we use a variety of starches: here is an example: this past week we have had potatoes, pasta, sweet potatoes, rice and couscous...oh, and we did have tortillas when I made breakfast tacos last Sunday..

For me it is almost an equal split between potatoes, rice, and pasta. That's how it was for me growing up as well

Potatos, pasta, with rice coming in dead last.

I like to have variety. Come to think of it bread seems more like a lunchtime food. Rice, then pasta, then potatoes - indeed I enjoy potato curries with rice, but also like to try other stuff occasionally like tortillas or semolina. I think if I had to choose though I'd still go back to rice, its so satisfying and nothing beats rice with curry.

I agree about bread. We have toast a couple times a week, bagels, for breakfast sometimes, but rarely do we have bread at the dinner table..The exception is soup, maybe once every month we will have a sandwhich for dinner and once in awhile when we have company.

Pasta.
So many things you can do with pasta, and it's the easiest thing to cook! (IMO)
