re: What are some good sides for red beans & rice?

you didnt realize fried chicken and fried pork chops go well with red beans?

i do mayo and vinegar coleslaw, and hot water cornbread with my red or white beans... both have tons of pork in them already.

I agree with fried pork chops and cornbread but I prefer mustard greens as the green. Also candied yams (old school butter and real sugar) are good also.

Yea, but Popeye's beans don't have sausage or pork in the them. Most people's are full of meat and can stand alone..

Anyway its not about standing alone, its just about having more food to feed more people. I mean I rarely eat anything else with red beans and rice.

A nice little broccoli pie

Side note: do not get red beans from BB's in Houston. Low expectations were exceeded. Softshell crab was good though, although it was about 95% leg and 5% body.

A crispy fried catfish filet!

I don't know what to tell you brah.
