Rice and peas is a very popular dish throughout the Caribbean. It should more properly be called "Rice and Beans" as there's not usually a "pea" in sight.

 

It's usually served as a side dish to accompany meat or poultry, especially highly spiced or hot dishes, as the relative blandness of the rice and peas counteracts the fieriness of the main dish. Having said that, the addition of chilies sometimes renders this redundant. There are also versions which incorporate the meat into the dish.
