Beef Stroganoff, rice or pasta?

[LivingDeadGirlUK]

Hi Everyone, turns out myself and my partner have strong opposing views on which carb should be served with a Beef Stroganoff. I firmly believe it should be rice, but he think it should be pasta. I thought a quick poll of the Mumsnet collective would resolve the issue.

YANBU Rice is the way to go, who the fuck would have pasta with it?!

YABU WTF are you on about, pasta all the way!

Or have we overlooked the perfect accompaniment in our blinkered view of carbs?

The Yorkshire pudding idea is interesting, but as so many people cannot do a decent one (probably as they are not from God's Own Country), I'd stick to rice.

Usually rice but Good Food has a version with pasta and that was yum!

Mash potato with mustard in it

Pasta, Is your DP mad? Definitely rice although mash would be a good alternative.

The thick pasta ribbons (can't remember what they're called!)

@Nottherealslimshady

I hate that the default vegetarian option is mushroom stroganoff with rice. It just doesn't go at all, rice is for curry, stroganoff is too gravy like. Potatoes all the way.

I NEVER see this as a veggie option, I'm a meat eater but always look to see if this is on the menu as I bloody love it (I always have to make my own)

Anyway, I digress.

Always rice, sometimes chips but never pasta.

Always do ours with pappardelle.

Neither has to be potatoes (mash or boiled).

Potatoes you savage!!!

Noodles. I usually use buttered tagliatelle but I think it is supposed to be wider ribbon noodles.
Rice with stroganoff is the stuff of school dinners!

I shuddered when I read the title.
Rice, of course!

Tagliatelle only. No other pasta.

I'm baffled that rice is getting so upvoted. It's probably a conspiracy, or perhaps people just panick-bought too much rice back in March.

I didn't even know there was an alternative to rice. It's just the thing that goes with it...

Always tagliatelle here, anything else is for Philistines only.

that made me chuckle, I do buy my rice in huge sacks tbh but we always have a lot of pasta in too.

That’s Cher’s favourite dinner. She even sang about it; “Are you stroganoff to live without me...”. Anyway she had hers with rice or sautéed potatoes.

Wtf?? Tagliatelli if you insist on pasta. But its mini roasts and veg!

Who in earth has it with pasta? Yuck!

Rice. But I'd happily eat it with pasta too.

But the poster who said chips, yes that would be glorious. Especially chippy chips.

Cous cous goes well with a veggie version

Mash.

I prefer rice, as I think pasta would be too stodgy. Same with Hungarian goulash. But I wouldn't argue about it- whoever cooks it can decide!
