Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 Thread rules: All suggestions must be According-to-Hoyle side dishes That is to say, Mashed Potatoes is eligible, while..I don't know..Ziti is not. Suggest only things you've eaten strictly as sides. I'm thinking sixteen foods, single elimination. I'll start by entering COLESLAW
Guest Teal-y Dan Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 BAKED BEANS Sweet, spicy, tangy, there are bacon chunks, what's not to love?
Copper Feel Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 I nominate rice. Sure, it's virtually tasteless, but it greatly improves the quality of food that isn't.
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 Please be more specific with rice. White rice? Brown rice? Fried rice? Rice pilaf? Just "rice" would be like someone saying "potatoes."
Darthtiki Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 Twice baked potatoes and Broccoli Bundles
Nighthawk Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 Going for a long shot. Fried Okra. I was going to say that. Nothing but some old country boys, we are. So, I guess I'll say... French fries.
CanadianGuitarist Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 Corn on the cob. My first vote, provided it doesn't go head-to-head with my nomination: Mac and cheese.
King Kamala Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 This nomination is for my Canadian bretheren, poutine.
Guest Vitamin X Posted April 21, 2008 Report Posted April 21, 2008 Biscuits FTW. You can't say Mac and cheese, because people eat that as an entree all the time. As for rice, I prefer brown rice, but especially rice pilaf if you're eating some sort of grilled meat (in my case it usually goes with salmon or some other kind of fishy meat). To follow up on the biscuits, cheddar biscuits. Ever been to Red Lobster and had those? Can't eat just one, right? No one can. Cheddar biscuits are god's gift to side dishes and pre-meal fill-ups.
Nighthawk Posted April 21, 2008 Report Posted April 21, 2008 See, I don't know if I'd call mac and cheese an entree exactly, as I really don't recall ever seeing mac and cheese as the center piece of a full course meal. People often eat it solo, true... but that's slightly different.
PLAGIARISM! Posted April 21, 2008 Report Posted April 21, 2008 Garlic bread. But just garlic bread. No need for cheese or tomato or anything.
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted April 21, 2008 Report Posted April 21, 2008 I'm going to have to disqualify mac n cheese. I love it, that's true, but I've eaten alone too many times to truly call it a side dish. Conversely, it is on the side dish list at KFC. We'll have to have a vote.
Maztinho Posted April 21, 2008 Report Posted April 21, 2008 See, I don't know if I'd call mac and cheese an entree exactly, as I really don't recall ever seeing mac and cheese as the center piece of a full course meal. People often eat it solo, true... but that's slightly different. I've seen it served as a main dish, but it was like Mac and Cheese on crack with bits of ham and crouton like crunchy things with it. My ex's Grandmother's recipe, it was awesome. But countering that, Mac and Cheese is generally a side once you hit the age of say 11, and excluding being at college when it's reduced to Ramen. Edit: Since it was tossed and we are voting on it's eligibility. Mac and cheese should go in.
CanadianGuitarist Posted April 21, 2008 Report Posted April 21, 2008 Mac and cheese - side dish. Kraft Dinner - meal. I didn't make the rules here.
CanadianChris Posted April 21, 2008 Report Posted April 21, 2008 To follow up on the biscuits, cheddar biscuits. Ever been to Red Lobster and had those? Can't eat just one, right? No one can. Cheddar biscuits are god's gift to side dishes and pre-meal fill-ups. I don't think I've ever had fewer than six in a single visit.
EL BRUJ0 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Posted April 21, 2008 my favorite side dish: Shredded Hash Browned Potatoes (Don't know if that counts as a side)
NYU Posted April 21, 2008 Report Posted April 21, 2008 Mac and cheese should definitely be considered a side dish. Hash browns....good pick. I forgot about that.
NoCalMike Posted April 21, 2008 Report Posted April 21, 2008 Mac N Cheese Biscuits Cauliflower Puree with garlic & butter added for taste Asparagus w/ salt & lime Broccilli & Cheddar rice (Rice r' Roni mix) Garlic Bread Bruchetta(sp?)
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted April 21, 2008 Report Posted April 21, 2008 Fried calamari fo' shizz... Stuffed baby bellas too...
NYU Posted April 21, 2008 Report Posted April 21, 2008 Now see, fried calamari -- that's a main dish.
the max Posted April 22, 2008 Report Posted April 22, 2008 Fried calamari fo' shizz... Stuffed baby bellas too... Side dishes, not appetizers.
Maztinho Posted April 22, 2008 Report Posted April 22, 2008 Stuffed Baby Bellas are a side/appetizer so they are fair game in my not so humble opinion. They are also fucking delicious.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted April 22, 2008 Report Posted April 22, 2008 Gnocchi - potato dumplings drizzled with melted butter and herbs Couscous - small little pasta with some vegies and butter Sweet Potato Caserole Cornbread Stuffing
