    Some can only be prepared in certain ways that make me love em (i.e. frying, stir-frying, baking, steaming, etc.). Although, if you smother either of these in cheese I'll gladly devour them all. Cheese and Rice. Macaroni and Cheese. Cheesy Shredded Potatoes. All Glorious.

    But Potatoes above all. Pringles are addictive (if you consider chips (crisps) a "potato")

    Tough choices but have to go with potatoes. Would hate to live without the other two though!

    Potatoes. Most of my favourite meals have some kind of potato recipe in it.

    As a North American I eat a lot more pasta and rice than bread.

    ((To be on topic, out of the two I mentioned I'd say pasta... it goes well with just about anything in my diet))

    That's very tough, all very close, but I have to give the edge to rice. As an italian I probably should be saying pasta... oh well

    Those three are the most common at least in the germanic part of Europe. I guess that's why the Dutch OP chose them

    Potatoes! You can do anything with them, and they taste fantastic.

    Could you explain to me what makes them gross to you? By gross one would usually mean that they are repulsive or disgusting, but they have a very stale taste that, well, isn't even a taste. Is it the texture? How they look? Explain.

    Lol, all of those 3 staples are healthy. I wonder how Asians can be so skinny when they eat so much rice, or how Italians can look so good while eating pasta almost every day! Don't know much about potatoes.

    Of all 3 I'd go with pasta, why? Because there's rice pasta, and potato pasta (e.g. gnocchi), even vegetable pasta! It comes in many variations and I love it <3

    Tough call, I love Spaghetti, Linguini, Fettichini... with the right sauce its heavenly.
    I love baked potatoes, garlic mashed potatoes, or a thing my mom liked to do which is to make a bake potato then cook in some ham, onions, cheese and more. Delicious.
    Rice would be my last choice, but if I had to live every day on Thai Red Curry Chicken and Rice I'd live a happy man.

    I voted pasta but Pasta and Potatoes would be tied for me.

    Rice > Pasta > Potatoes. But it really all depends on preparation.

    Alfredo sauce on pasta is easily better than rice with butter. But so are french fires. But a baked potato is gross. It's like rocks papers scissors basically.

    I think alone, and without any modifications(but warming it up, of course), all those 3 foods are gross.

    That's why bread is superior many breads can be eaten alone and still taste awesome.

    Wouldn't call pasta a staple, might wanna try wheat and instead of potatoes maybe corn, since those are the 3 top macronutrients of the world.

    Asians don't eat all that much rice, their portions are about 1/10th of the amount Americans shove into their face.

    So much diabeetus in this thread.
