It's not that hard to make your own, actually.

The bread in Seoul seems to be all of the sweat variety, right now i would just love to get my hands on a traditional loaf of whole grain bread you get from the bakeries back home.

Heaven forbid anyone should eat for nutrition!

We don't do staples in my house. We eat everything.

I think probably pasta or rice or potatoes.

I'm surprised you eat pasta or rice. Thought it'd be too foreign for you.

What are "fries" if not potato?

Pasta is re-cooked wheat flour, just as bread is made from wheat flour, or the flour of other grains.

Anyway, yeah, bread (wheat, barley, rye, oats, corn, etc.), pasta, rice, potatoes, corn (maize, choclos, mote), yucca, oats.

Wheat and barley are usually associated with the Mediterranean, grains like rye with Europe, corn and potatoes and other tubes with the Americas, rice Asia, but also marshy areas of the Americas. Grains like corn and oats are usually animal feed in North America and Europe, but can be staple foods for people in South America.

Not sure about sub-Saharan Africa. Anyone?

In a country like the US, it can be anything based on a combination of local production, imports and family habits, though one common expression is meat and potatoes.

In my household, it used to be mainly pasta and bread, but lately also rice - but now they are telling us that rice in the US is poisoned with arsenic (wheat-industry propaganda?) - and potatoes as well, sometimes choclos.

I always thought breads were bland, until I went to Germany.
