    If you want a lovely change head into a local Asian shop and pick up a bag if sticky rice.
    You have to leave the rice in a bowl of water for around an hour and a half before you cook it.
    It can only be steamed so no rice cookers and I guarantee you will like it if you like rice.
    It's fairly filling and is best to dip into things,role it up in your hands can be added with mango and coconut milk as a desert also but best savoury.

    Sneak a sweet potatoe into the vegetable press! They taste so yum and you can tell your mam that it's STILL a potatoe. I love them.
    You could also try butternut squash mixed with regular mashed potatoe. They taste fairly similar to sweet potatoe.
    I've also read about people pureeing (sp?) cauliflowed and using that as a mash substitute.

    The girlfriend and I have been travelling around Asia for the past 4 months. Lots of rice and noodles..........

    The Irish spud is one of the most glorious and delicious things that grows on this planet. Absence is what is required to rekindle your love of the humble tuber.

    Peal barley is a great staple - especially good with stews.
    +1 on the quinoa .
    BTW cous cous is not a grain but rather like a type of pasta made from wheat flour.
    Bulgar wheat is also nice - quite like cous cous but with more bite.
    I love polenta. Nice allowed to cool into a cake and fried.
    When having rice don't limit yourself to long grain white rice. There is a world of rices out there, try them, look in your local Asian shop.
