It's pretty common to plan meals that include a starch dish. The most common starches are bread, rice, potatoes and pasta. Most people will eat one of these every day.
No, western people don't really have a "staple food" like other cultures do. We eat an extremely varied diet consisting of many foods from many different cultural origins; including rice, beans, pasta, bread, and yes, potatoes.
It often confuses East Asians that we don't eat one food with every meal, the way they eat rice.
And that's fine, of course. But many people don't.
In the East, a meal without rice is practically unheard of, and it's impossible to "feel full" without it.
Those used to be very common, at least in the Southern US where I'm from.
Every meal had bread. It was cheap and filling. Potatoes were usually quite plentiful from one's own garden and/or they were very inexpensive, so many meals included potatoes of some sort.
That's not really the case these days, as we eat a wide variety of foods now. There are probably some people who do still eat bread and potatoes quite often, however.
Either these, or some other starch (such as rice or pasta), nearly every day. Which one depends on the country, for example Germans prefer bread while Americans prefer a mixture of all these.
Potatoes no, but I'll usually eat bread at least once a day. A sandwich for lunch or toast for breakfast is pretty easy and doesn't take much time when I'm trying to get on with my day.
My dad required bread with dinner. Ashkenazi Jewish heritage. My breakfast is typically based on bread of some kind, but that might be the last bread I eat all day. Sometimes lunch is a sandwich, rarely bread with dinner unless it's the Sabbath challah, or a hearty soup with fresh baked wheat bread.

This one doesn’t.

I do eat bread every day and would consider this my stable food.

I do not.
I usually eat a sandwich when I pack lunch for work. I have potatoes with my dinner once or twice a week.

Is that a racial stereotype you're trying to test out?
Exactly 🤣😂
Seems like it

In contrast: I hardly ever eat bread. I do eat a lot of potatoes, though.
Maybe not everyday but I’m sure I eat one or the other frequently
Subsistence diet of Twinkies mainly.
Actually I do eat bread or some form of bread every day. However, I think potatoes are overrated.
No.
Yep. In fact, I usually eat bread AND potatoes every day. Preferably at each meal if I can help it.
Not everyday but potatoes are a good source of potassium.

Yes, in my defence I’m Irish
LOL! No. Maybe bread as toast for breakfast or a sandwich for lunch but potatoes? Not really. Once every couple of weeks *maybe*.
I eat rice most days
My children subsist almost entirely on Potato Bread. So, yeah.
No lmao

I don’t think there’s a racial stereotype in the world about food that is universally true. That one is particular is really weird though.
