Cornbread. Duh.

>>13570947
never heard anyone eat it with toast before

>>13570947
Neither. Tortillas are bestest.

>>13570955
never tried it, but should probably try and make some one day
>>13570958
its what i grew up eating chili with, it adds some texture and its kinda nice, but of course, doesnt add too much flavour
>>13570980
tortillas are pretty damn nice and my other go to option, too, but i dont have any on hand and im lazy af right now

>have gramma from oldworld
>her culture are rice-eaters
>dad is halfmerican
>eats white rice with almost literally every american food
Beef stew? White rice.
Clam chowder? White rice.
Pasta salad? White rice.
Fucking cheeseburgers? White rice.
Chili with white rice, though, never seemed that weird to me. I didn't even know people would eat chili with anything else but rice. The first time I saw people eat chili with cornbread, tortillas, crackers, toast or, worst of all, pasta, I thought it was fucking bizarre. Probably about as odd as they'd think it is were they to see my dad eating barbecue ribs with white rice.

Why not a baked potato?

Rice works great with gumbo, why not chili?

Nice story, mutt

I'm not a chilicountry native but why would it need a side?

>>13571143
Thanks, bro. :^)

>>13571115
Fair enogh my dude
>>13571124
I dont have any potatoes in my pantry and since I live in germany, every store is closed on sunday
>>13571133
aye true>>13571143
dont be a cunt man
>>13571145
its just an additional filler, also changes the way you eat the chili and sometimes gives you a nice contrast in flavour or texture

>>13570947
For leftover chili, forget the toast, wtf.

On top of a baked potato, a hot dog, a bowl of rice, or on top of nachos. You could put on top of pasta if you're into that (I'm not).

>>13571167
thats all nice ideas actually, but i only have the rice on hand, so thats it

also desu i have started soaking the rice basically right after making the thread since i figured i might as well try it out

>>13570947
Couscous is easier. Rice is a pain in the ass without a rice cooker and only asians bother to have one unless they're literally poor as dirt

>>13571216
personally i dont like couscous and making the rice was kinda ight

its pretty nice with rice imo

>>13571216
>rice is a pain
Really? I'm >>13571115
We never had a rice cooker growing up. We just boiled it like pasta until it was almost, but not quite, cooked through then drain, rinse, shake dry-ish then finish it back in the pot in its own steam. Then you eat your rice and the family argues who gets to eat the burnt bits at the bottom of the pot.
I started using a rice cooker at university. With all the washing necessary first, it's about the same amount of work both ways.
Less the burnt bits because rice cookers can't do that, the results are about identical, 2bh.

I like to serve the rice to the side of the chili in my bowl, think of it like a topping with each bite, rather than rice filled chili soup. Cheese enhances it, or some texture from something like tortilla strips.

>>13571274
I bet you walked to school both ways uphill with no shoes?

>>13571291
Fuck no. Schoolbus, nigger.

>>13571283
i make my chili pretty damn thick so it was actually not soupy at all, but next time i should really remember to top it, thats true

>>13570947
chilli on a slice a toast w/ melted cheese (pepperjack is a good choice) is pretty tits. a squirt of sour cream and green yucateca don't hurt either, but I can do that with everything and be happy.

>>13570947
Yes, chili is meant to be eaten with rice or nothing at all.

corn chips

>>13570947
>beans and corn

im surprised nobody reee'd ab it yet

>>13570980
This, I use the round ones instead of a spoon.

>>13570947
I've never understood chili over rice. Spaghetti maybe, and I don't even like Cincinnati chili.
>>13570955
Cornbread is good, but I can never eat more that one slice of it. I'm a bad southerner I guess. Sweet corn cakes are good.
>>13570980
Tortillas are pretty dope, but I tortilla chips are doper.
>>13571124
Baked potatoes with chili get me into the bone zone. God bless Wendy's baked potato menu.

>>13570955
fpbp

also good on a hotdog

I like it with rice on the side. not mixed in btw. I make the Chipotle rice recipe too which is easy and tasty

>>13571216
I make my rice in a pan and it's easy as hell wtf

>>13571115
>Pasta salad? White rice.
Your dad a psychopath?

>>13571216
>Rice is a pain
Nigga just boil it in a 2:1 water:rice ratio until the water is gone. It's easier than pasta since you don't even need to drain.

>>13570947
Frito pie, bud.

>>13570947
Love some nice bread with stewed and braised dishes but I always end up having too much and exceeding my calorie allotment.
So it's more often rice or potatoes for me. With the rice I will throw some green beans in when it's done cooking as well, and sometimes whole or halved rawit chilies.
