QotD: Can't Do Without...
What food item would you miss the most if it were removed from your diet and recipes?

I'd have to say grains in general.
Without flour, there could be no bread, and things that derive from bread.
Rice is a staple for me. There is a stereotype about Cajuns, where they will say, "I've put on the rice. Now, what do you want for supper." I've literally done that. So many cuisines--not just Cajun, but Spanish, Mexican, and Asian--rely on rice at their core.
I'm a fan of corn--torillas and zea mays everta, especially. My wife loves sweet corn on the cob (she grew up in Indiana).
I like oats, particularly granola.
I couldn't imagine not having grains.
