“Sour cream, guacamole, etc…”

[custardlover]

Invited to a family lunch and we’re having beef chilli - lovely! I offered to bring pudding which was agreed and then a further suggestion made that I also bring the “sides for a chilli; sour cream, guacamole, etc”.

What is the etc please?!?

What else might you have as a side in this context?

Grated cheese, chopped tomatoes and chopped spring onions, salsa (one spicy, one mild).

Maybe tortilla chips too.

Doritos, wraps, tacos, salsa

Yep.

Mild-ish grated cheese - medium - you don't want an opinionated cheddar.

Personally I'd say sour cream, guacamole, grated cheese and a medium salsa is plenty - or even dump the cheese.

Salsa! For sure - great thought thank you. And why not bring some cheese and scallions too. Good! Delicious.

Grated cheddar cheese. Sour cream.

Sliced fresh chillies, coriander/cilantro, lime wedges

Mexican coleslaw

Definitely tortilla chips and we always have a jar of jalapenos. Depending how many you need to to feed, the M&S Mexican layered dip is amazing but only 400g so won't be suitable for a crowd.

Mexican street corn salad is delicious
