Rosy I agree about pies - I have pie and veg, not chips.

The main one though is lasagne - dh insists on doing chips AND garlic bread and it's just massive carb-fest. The only thing I eat with lasagne is peas or green beans or salad, I don't understand why you'd add potatoes or bread to a massive pile of pasta!

We had it last night.

With salad. DH had his with additional coleslaw and new pots.

I might also have added extra cheese to mine!

Mia1415 · 25/04/2018 15:04

Salad and possibly new potatoes.

TheJoyOfSox · 25/04/2018 15:08

New potatoes with a generous knob of butter and a salad. Maybe some crusty bread if you are really hungry.

mumtomaxwell · 25/04/2018 15:09

I serve quiche hot with broccoli and some of that ‘golden veg’ microwave rice, or if I haven’t got that I’ll do new potatoes.

TheHonGalahadThreepwood · 25/04/2018 15:12

I'd do a broad bean salad with parsley and/or a green runner bean salad. Maybe some fresh baguette, gently warmed in the oven.

Time40 · 25/04/2018 15:15

Broccoli. (Assuming the quiche is going to be warm.)

Serin · 25/04/2018 15:15

Salads and new potatoes.

DH eats it instead of meat with a 'roast' though as he's weird (vegetarian).

Mummyoflittledragon · 25/04/2018 15:15

Salad and perhaps some ham or cooked meats.

Time40 · 25/04/2018 15:16

I don't get why anyone would do potatoes. There are carbs in the pastry.

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 25/04/2018 15:16

Just salad. Pastry is the carb on the plate me as well. Nothing wrong with a few new potatoes or decent bread, but I'm not a carb-lover.

Harebellmeadow · 25/04/2018 15:16

Rocket salad with a raspberry&mustard dressing. You can use frozen raspberries and purée and handful.
And a nice wine too.

BeyondThePage · 25/04/2018 15:17

lightly steamed sliced green beans - quiche has pastry... mind you I'd tend to have it for a weekday lunch not dinner.

MoistCantaloupe · 25/04/2018 15:18

garlic bread and more quiche and also a pizza.

LaDilettante · 25/04/2018 15:20

A nice green salad sprinkled with walnuts or hazelnuts in the summer. A side of fine green beans and mini carrots in the winter.

viques · 25/04/2018 15:22

New potatoes and a tomato and red onion salad.

Groovee · 25/04/2018 15:23

Salad with home made wedges

FlyingElbows · 25/04/2018 15:27

I'd have it with potatoes because I like potatoes. Simple as that. I could give a shit what the carb police think!

cornflakegirl · 25/04/2018 15:29

Cubed roasted butternut squash and aubergine, dressed with tahini and tamarind paste.

crumbsinthecutlerydrawer · 25/04/2018 15:32

Squaffles! I tend to cook mine a little bit longer so they’re a bit crispy and a nice salad or corn on the cob.

Tattybear16 · 25/04/2018 15:33

Jacket potatoes, salad and coleslaw. I’ve also served it with cous cous and salad, depends who’s in for dinner. If the quiche is homemade, I do a potato salad, pasta salad and a mixed salad, with pickles and coleslaw plus a selection of cold meats etc. I have a super picky daughter who’ll eat one thing one week and then go off it.

BlueSapp · 25/04/2018 15:33

Gosh you'd always have it hot, wouldn't you?

Brazenhussy0 · 25/04/2018 15:33

Salad and beetroot.

Quiche is way too heavy with all the egg and pastry to be having it with potatoes!

DeepfriedPizza · 25/04/2018 15:40

Mash and salad!

Who the fuck eats mash and salad together?

MsHomeSlice · 25/04/2018 15:42

warm potato salad...new potatoes boiled in skins until just done and no more, drain and leave to sit in the pan until you can just handle them, take off the skins if you don't like them, and roughly chop into a bowl containing creme fraiche and mayo with snipped chives and lots of maldon salt, mix the potatoes gently into the mayo mix. (soured cream will work, but creme fraiche is best...and don't be using anything low fat)

serve straight away!

And quiche is best at room temp, leave it to sit on the side after being cooked, not burny and hot straight from the oven or cold and claggy from the fridge!
