Sri Lankans are great rice eaters. On average, they eat 108 kg of rice
per person per year as against the world average of just 54 kg per head.
A plate of rice eaten by an average Sri Lankan is usually equated to
Adam’s Peak or Samanala Kanda. The local saying is that if someone is to
jump over it, it is so elevated in height that he has to make a lot of
prior preparation and training. Otherwise, instead of jumping over it,
he would just land in the middle of the plate.
