- Delete. These are not staple foods and should not be added to Staple food. They could be added as types of food to Food David Thrale 22:58, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Please add Maize and Corn to this list of staple foods
I'm not an expert; however, Maize (the grain) and Sweet Corn (the vegetable) should be prominantly added as two staple food items on this page. With respect to corn you have corn starch, corn meal and corn syrup which are significant ingredients to many manufactured food products. In the USA, the UK and other places, the poorer folk grow corn in their cornfields and eat corn a lot more than rice, which is listed very prominantly here.;) --Ermeyers 01:07, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
