As has been stated, beans and rice (together) are staples all around the world.
Cajuns eat red beans and rice, often with sausage.
Mexicans have beans with rice
Cubans eat black beans and yellow rice.
In the southeast US, there's Hoppin' John which I understand has it's sources in Africa being brought over by the slaves.
In the Caribbean, the have what they call "rice and peas" the peas are what we would call beans.
The middle eastern / Arabic countries have bean recipes that they server with rice.
