What do you have with chilli?

I usually have white rice but a friend seems to think that's very odd? Occasionally a baked potato or just a roll/crusty bread.

What do you serve with it?

Rice mostly or we pile it on tortilla chips with cheese, jalepenos and sour cream.

TeeBee · 21/01/2023 20:04

On chips
Jacket potato
If left over the next day, then in a wrap like a quesidilla

CinderRosie · 21/01/2023 20:05

either white rice or if I’m feeling greedy, potato wedges Blush

Shunkleisshiny · 21/01/2023 20:05

Potatoes wedges or nachos.... and a dollop of sour cream

White rice and tortilla chips, With sour cream and guacamole

Not sure why rice is odd! What does she have with it?

mrsbyers · 21/01/2023 20:05

Rice or make our own tortilla chips for scooping and top the chilli with few extra bits

TakeABite · 21/01/2023 20:05

Basmatti Rice & sometimes with tortillas topped with melted cheese.

What does your friend have it with?

YouCantBeSadHoldingACupcake · 21/01/2023 20:05

Hotdogs (my son is obsessed with sonic the hedgehog). Rice for anyone who doesn't want hotdogs

YouAteTheSteak · 21/01/2023 20:06

Rice usually. Sometimes a jkt potato. Love to have the extras occasionally too - nachos, sour cream, grated cheese. I fancy a chilli now!

BashirWithTheGoodBeard · 21/01/2023 20:06

Rice.

PrimrosesandPears · 21/01/2023 20:06

What does your friend have? I think white rice is very standard and that’s my usual side. We do jacket potatoes too sometimes or make burritos by putting the chilli with cheese, sour cream and/or and guacamole in wraps. Or sloppy joes by stuffing pittas. But usually those other options are with the leftovers to make it feel like a different meal after I served it with rice first time round!

Cheekyandfreaky · 21/01/2023 20:06

Cornbread, pretty easy to make, but chilli needs to be saucy!

MikeWozniaksMoustache · 21/01/2023 20:06

Jacket Potato with cheese and soured cream. Not a fan with rice for some reason.

What does she have it with if she thinks rice is weird?

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 21/01/2023 20:06

Rice, tortilla chips, grated cheese, pickled jalapeños, sour cream and guacamole. I love chilli with all the trimmings!!

RejectedCitizenOfMoronia · 21/01/2023 20:06

Mashed potatoes or rice or sometimes just a big bowl of chilli on its own

SheWoreYellow · 21/01/2023 20:07

I also want to know what your friend thinks is usual.

If you google ‘chilli con carne’ and then look at the pictures, every single one that has an accompaniment has rice.

msbevvy · 21/01/2023 20:07

Rice, either white or brown.

I usually make a bit extra and keep it to use a other day on nachos with the addition of a bit of melted cheese and salsa.

Dragonsandcats · 21/01/2023 20:07

White rice.

DawdlingService · 21/01/2023 20:07

Not sure why rice is odd! What does she have with it?

Nothing. Just chilli. She thinks it's odd to have anything with it with the possible exception of some cheese on top.

Yes, I really am this bored but I'm craving chilli now.

I'll stick with basmati, though I do sometimes have brown rice.
