American BBQ - what should I serve with slow roast beef ribs?????

[TelephoneTree]

I want to 'posh it up' a bit but be true to the american BBQ. All ideas please!!!!

Corn on the cob - can ponce up with chilli and lime butter etc
Coleslaw - myriad recipes out there for more inetresting than bought varieties ( eg Jamie Oliver )

Dunno about carbs - see what anyone else says?

Proper BBQ beans (not baked beans with BBQ sauce!!)

Potato wedges, you could any herbs/spices that you like

Potato salad

New Orleans style Cajun salmon or prawn skewers

Here is delias recipe for BBQ beans www.deliaonline.com/recipes/cuisine/exotic/american/boston-baked-beans.html

Can I point you to my shameful secret? - There's a programme on the food network (freeview) about 9pm called Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives. You could get loads of ideas from that. Despite the title there's plenty of use of fresh ingredients & cooking from scratch.

Sweet potato mash. YY to corn-on-the-cob too.

loaded potato skins?

Mmmmmm

Coleslaw and big fat wedges.

Soft white rolls, coleslaw, potato salad, lots of beer.
Job done (at least in dh's part of the US)

I made these baked beans just last week.
Iseenodust, I love that programme, and have one of the recipe books.
I made burgers, coleslaw and potato salad from it last Saturday, and have tried a pasta dish too.

Netto Ooooh I didn't know there was a book.

French potato salad? It has eggs, mayo and (I think) parsley. Plus you don't skin the potatos beforehand.

Oh dear, is that another cookbook I will have to buy?

DD chose it but it's really good. Not as meat and stodge heavy as I'd thought it would be, though we don't mind that either!
Photos of the meals are on my FB.

Off for a closer look :)

fantastic -thank you!!
