I'm convinced that many of the traditional ethinic recipes were actually the result of some less than wealthy wife looking through her pantry to find something for supper. She didn't have enough of any one ingredient to make a full meal for her family, so she just threw several things together to see what happened. I'm sure that sometimes the family ate it because it was the only food, but often a delightful combination was discovered.
