I'm convinced that a lot of today's popular dishes were created this way

    There is a Chinese congee called "La Ba Zhou" consumed on a specific holiday ("La Ba") that supposedly originated from a poor family that didn't have enough of a single grain to make congee for the holiday. So they made a congee with a bunch of different grains in order to have enough for the whole family. And it ended up tasting really good and now everyone makes it on that day.

    Chinese is literally the best at making more with less, I swear most recipies are just "whatever veggies/meat you have in the fridge" and still makes it work, complete opposite of some european cuisine "Season some northern valley lamb with pepper grown during the spring in this island in the middle of the pacific..."
