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?

She thinks that rice is particularly odd. It's the norm in the U.K in my experience.

I like it in a bowl with grated cheese. And nachos grande on the side.

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 21/01/2023 20:08

In wraps and oven baked with huge quantities of cheese on top,

On chips with huge quantities of cheese on top,

Or on nachos, again with with huge quantities of cheese on top,

There may or may not be a theme here Grin

Any of:
Rice
Tacos (usually with a little rice too
Tortilla chips (usually a few on the side with rice)
Chips (chilli over chips was a pub classic growing up!)
Wraps (as a burrito effectively so a bit of rice in there too)
Pasta (like bolognese!)
Garlic bread (if I'm feeling lazy/PMT!)

So yeah.... usually rice features somewhere along the line!!

And I forgot jacket potatoes!

fblake · 21/01/2023 20:09

forgot about cheese 🤤

watcherintherye · 21/01/2023 20:10

Usually whole grain rice or jacket potato. Ds prefers his with linguine!

HowCanIPayItForward · 21/01/2023 20:11

Rice, jacket potato or wedges.
And a big dollop of sour cream or guacamole on top.
One of my favourites! 😋

watcherintherye · 21/01/2023 20:11

Oh and lots of cheese!

MySweetBaboo · 21/01/2023 20:12

Rice, jacket potato or wedges.

Vinylloving · 21/01/2023 20:12

Rice, guacamole or avocado chopped up with chilli and lime, sometimes tortilla crisps plus sour cream and salsa

piedbeauty · 21/01/2023 20:13

Rice, in wraps, on top of baked potatoes, on top of tortilla chips with all the dips, stuffed inside peppers with cheese on top, in taco shells or taco boats with lettuce and tomato...

ifellintoarabbithole · 21/01/2023 20:14

Cheese-topped nachos, using them like spoons to eat the chilli.

Then leftovers get eaten with a jacket potato and melted cheese.

I'm not a fan of eating it with rice either for some reason, although I appreciate that is probably the norm!

NeverDropYourMooncup · 21/01/2023 20:14

Rice
Nachos
Vegetable Crisps
Jacket Potato
Jacket Sweet Potato
Chips
Garlic & Chilli Wedges
Garlic & Chilli Sweet Potato Wedges
Avocado
Mashed Beans & jalapenos
Onions, peppers, garlic and soured cream/yoghurt, spring onions & jalapenos
Corn tortillas
Quinoa
Tomato, red onion, lime juice, avocado oil & thyme/coriander
Extra veg - peppers, onion, garlic, tomatoes, jalapenos, courgette, aubergine
Blue cheese
Cheese melted onto GF bread brushed with garlic oil
Mozzarella sticks (harder to get GF)
With mash - mixture of potato and sweet potato/carrot/swede

it really depends on mood, what meat it is (and venison is brilliant), how hungry we are and what the plan is for the following day, as it's one of the few things that I'll have for two days in a row.

Moonshine74 · 21/01/2023 20:14

Either rice or we make a simple cheese quesadilla and dip it in! Delicious!

Iwasntgettingasandwich · 21/01/2023 20:15

Rice, often a few tortilla chips, grated cheese, sour cream(or more often yoghurt) and chopped pickles - had this first at a fancy food van and it is really good. Whatever is leftover for another day is topped with potato and sweet potato mash and popped in the oven.

AliceMcK · 21/01/2023 20:16

White rice first night and leftovers served with wither wraps & salad or tortilla crisps/nachos. Always with cheese and sour cream.

DawdlingService · 21/01/2023 20:16

Thanks all. I might have to try some of these great suggestions now.

Rice, tortilla chips and a drizzle of sour cream.
I'd have it on a jacket potato too.

Mumtobabyhavoc · 21/01/2023 20:17

White rice when I was growing up, but now I make a brown and wild rice blend. Occasionally I get ambitious and make cornbread. Mmmm. Chilli. 😛

ChristmasTensions · 21/01/2023 20:17

Rice is normal, but I prefer it with jacket potato and lots of butter 😋

evtheria · 21/01/2023 20:17

I just like it with rice and sour cream. If I'm feeling fancy I'll stir coriander and butter through the rice.

ChristmasTensions · 21/01/2023 20:17

Oh and cheese grated on top.

chouxpetitfilous · 21/01/2023 20:18

In taco shells with mashed avocado and grated cheese.
