If you told this guy below that rice was important to British cuisine I'd think he'd be disappointed.

I doubt it.
There are several British dishes made with rice. We are very multicultural when it comes to food and so we also eat lots of rice with foreign dishes too.

Whether rice is important within British cuisine is rather irrelevant to the discussion at hand. As irregardless to how long rice has been used in Britain, the style of cooking it is different than how it is done in West Africa. Britain is irrelevant in this discussion.

I wasn't the one who brought it up.

Anyway, most rice in the U.S. is eaten with Mexican or Chinese food, which has nothing to do with Africa.
