We eat a LOT of rice in my house. It's one of Donnie's favorite foods (in addition, of course, to being versatile, filling, and cheap). Fried rice made with a variety of meats and veggies is a staple in our weekly meal plan, but I think I could serve just about anything over rice, and he would love it.
Unfortunately, the cost of rice has tripled over the past year or so, making it prohibitively expensive for the world's poorest people. Frugal cooks in developed countries should still be able to afford rice, but may want to explore less costly alternatives in some meals.
If you're thinking about reducing your rice consumption, check out 8 Rice Alternatives from Oh My Aching Debts. I've tried many of the grains mentioned in this post, and am tempted to taste-test some more. Pork-fried quinoa, anyone?

Thanks for mentioning my post! By the way, quinoa is the highest protein grain so it's a pretty good switch for your health. I haven't tried it either.
