◼ Rice is one of the most consumed cereals in the world.
From Orient to Occident a great variety of dishes combined with rice are
prepared and some recipes are already inherent in the tradition of the places,
since nobody doubts where the paella comes from.
◼ The great variety of foods that enrich our diet is
due, to a great extent, to the Portuguese.
◼ At my maternal grandparents´ house, it was a custom to
prepare some rice as accompaniment to other dishes or, simply, on the table
there had to be some rice, since my grandfather said that the meal without rice
was not meal. My
grandfather Antonio, of course, was Portuguese.
