You weirdo! Most of the time the protein is the "main" part of the dish. Steak, fish, chicken, pork, burger, whatever. Anything else on the dish, potatoes, corn, asparagus, rice, is usually the side dish. At least in American cuisine.Originally Posted by Loony BoB
Is that a side dish? I always thought that was more "part of a meal" thing. I figure the side dishes are the snacks you put on plates to the side. *dunno*
EDIT: Macaroni cheese is the main part of a meal, surely not a side dish... unless you're ordering pizza or somethin'.
If all you eat is mac and cheese, then that's the main meal. If you're eating fried chicken and mac & cheese, then the mac & cheese is the side dish.
