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.
