[edit] Brazil?

I don't think rice & beans is at all unique to Brazil. It seems to me that it is popular throughout Latin America, much of the USA, as well as around the world. This article needs to be broadened in scope. NTK 02:08, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. This is a major dish throughout Latin America, especially the Caribbean.Cheapestcostavoider 23:10, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

The article was probably written by a Brazilian, it's a staple dish in Latin American cuisine, especially Puerto Rico, Cuba and Dominican Republic. It's also widely eaten in Spain. This articles needs to be updated, I'll research the origins of rice and beans and add additional information. Thanks MagicKnight 09:53, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] hmm

I love rice and beans.

It's great that rice and beans has its own page. It's popular in Reunion island in the Indian Ocean except that the beans are called 'grains' and are often substituted by lentils (JJ (talk) 22:08, 16 April 2008 (UTC))

[edit] Dalbat

In Nepal rice and beans is a very common dish and is called "dalbat" -- I may have the spelling wrong. I was told that the combination of amino acids from the rice and beans makes protein.
