Title: Side Dishes
Post by: Light on July 16, 2009, 05:05:33 PM
Whenever you go to a restaurant for dinner, most of the time you get a choice of one or two "sides" or side orders with a meal. Which do you usually get?

For me, it depends on the entree itself. If it's a sandwich, I like fries. If it's something meatier, then I'll take a sweet potato, or mashed potatoes.

Oh yeah, and when I eat lunch at home, I love potato salad.

Why do you think they call them chicken fingers?
Chickens don't have fingers! >__<

I usually don't get anything, as I just want to eat the main course.

I usually have fries or mashed potatoes. I'll occasionally get corn on the cob if the meal calls for it though.

I hate side dishes. I'll have fries with my sandwich at a restaurant, but other than that nothing. I get full enough on the darn bread, all I want is my main course. No appetizers, please. No more bread, stop bringing it. I just want my dinner.

It depends where, but when on the menu, I usually get calamari, fries, taters, or mac n cheese

At a restaurant, I usually get fries or mozzarella sticks.

At KFC or Popeyes, I usually get mashed potatoes and coleslaw.

At home, I grab some chips.

With a sandwich I'll get chips. If it's a hamburger or fried food I  get fries.
At Cracker Barrel I get Mash potatoes, breaded fried okra (awesome), and mac 'n cheese (you never get too old for it).
I <3 Cracker Barrel.

French fries at a fast food or similar kind of joint.

Salad with no dressing at Olive Garden, or any place that only offers soup/salad as a side.

I'm a pasta kinda guy, so it's a soup or salad kinda thing. I'll just go with the house salad with ranch/house dressing. Not too picky about it.

French fries only at fast food joints though. I never really enjoyed curly fries or onion rings.

Salad, unless it is a sandwich, which calls for salt and vinegar chips.

And by salad, I mean lettuce with Italian dressing.

I like different things in different cases.

Breadsticks, french fries, and soup are common things I order as side dishes.
