To serve chips as a side dish with Quiche Lorraine?

[BigFishLittleFishy]

Help us solve a family debate!! If you don’t serve chips what is the best side dish for a quiche?

Your post has reminded me of my mum’s tuna quiche which I always had with lashings of ketchup! And buttery new potatoes. Yum.

You eat the hot food, then you serve and eat the salad. If you’re very posh like me you use a clean plate. If you’re a barbarian like the rest of my family, you use the same one.

Oh now you’re moving the goalposts! A salad course is completely different. I’d happily eat a salad as a starter or after my hot main course and before dessert. Most of the heathens on this thread, though, are talking about a single course, I’ll wager.

And when people are using the word 'cold' I hope you mean room temperature

Not actually cold

That is the way to kill any appetite and any appreciation for flavour

I'm not sure I've ever heard of someone giving lettuce a whole course to its own before.

Edited: I have of course heard of people on diets eating salad as the main course. I've seen them looking sad in restaurants.

Baby new potatoes or sweet potato fries would be lovely.

Salad and coleslaw, warm quiche. Perfect

Chips and beans or garlic bread and salad

I have fond memories of camping at a French campsite in the 1980s and picking up a quiche lorraine and a family-size portion of frites from the campsite take-away (you took your own saucepan along and carried them back to your tent in that). If it's good enough for the French....

Good grief. ‘Quite rich’? It’s a quiche, not a chocolate fudge cake.

OP, of course you can serve chips with a quiche Lorraine. It’s eggs, cheese and bacon. These are all things that go well with any form of potato, and chips will add a nice texture contrast.

If I was serving a quiche I’d usually serve it with chips and salad. No coleslaw for me because I loathe it, but I can see a lot of people seem to get excited about it.

In the days when I could eat quiche I always had it with salad and coleslaw. No potatoes at all.

That’s fine but not everyone has low-key orthorexia

Salad and coleslaw

My seventies school dinner was quiche ( probably called egg and bacon tart, though) with tinned tomatoes!
What was that all about?

The salad is in a separate cold bowl, or the potatoes are served in their own heated bowl.

Salad is essential. If I need to bulk it out a bit then add some minted new potatoes or similar. Chips with quiche would just be weird!

Jacket potato or new potatoes with butter, plus salad.

Good grief, how thick are you making your pastry crust if it accounts for a third of the meal?!

Green salad new (or salad) potatoes

Quince salad and jacket potato. One of my favourite meals

Green salad, new potatoes or potato salad here usually, but I’d happily eat chips with it.

Quiche,chips and tinned tomatoes nom nom,or for lunch quiche, fresh tomatoes and salad cream... heaven

My DP has just had cheese and onion quiche with hash brows and tomato sauce. We had a large lunch. Quiche Lorraine is eggs and bacon in a pie crust, so anything goes.
