Cliff, Simon and Keith,
about 20 years ago there was a good book written on the subject of combining certain foods, especially legumes and grains, to get more usable protein out of these foods. The book was called "Diet for a Small Planet". I believe it is still available.

Hi,
I am far from a vegetarian and probably will never be one but I have had
a setback lately that I am quite sure is due to too much sugar etc.
etc.
However, I have read, and did not keep the sources, that a combination
of beans, Navy, Pinto, Great Northern, or whatever and brown rice will
provide complete nutrition.
Yesterday my wife and I stocked up on various brands of beans and brown
rice and will be including that in our diets.
I do know that the Japanese army did quite well on a diet of rice for
breakfast, dinner and supper. They weren't talking about the polished
white starch that we call rice.
I would surely consider this as the main base of any vegetarian diet for
myself.
