All European Grain and Starch Dishes

Gathers the grain- and starch-based dishes of European culinary traditions, including Italian risotto and polenta, Spanish paella, and Central European dumplings and potato dishes, spanning rice, cornmeal, wheat and potato as the region's principal starch staples. The grouping reflects how the cuisine itself treats its staple starch, whether eaten plain as an accompaniment or built into a fuller one-pot dish, rather than sorting dishes by the protein or vegetable served alongside them.
