In celebration of Delaware Peace Week Silverside will be hosting a meal event titled "Rice Dishes from 'Round the World" in solidarity with the 50%-60% of the world's population that relies upon rice as their primary staple. This represents 3.5-4 billion people globally. Thus far we have rice dishes from West Africa, the Caribbean, and India. If anyone has a rice dish they'd like to share, please let Outreach know.
Rice serves as the main dietary staple for countries including China, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, and the Philippines. It's also an important staple in parts of Africa, Latin America, and some Pacific islands. Rice accounts for 50-80% of daily caloric intake in many countries, making it far more than just a side dish - it's the cornerstone of food security for billions of people. So please join us.
