A properly cooked macaroni cheese (which is a rarity, I must admit) would put any fried chicken to shame! You'll know a good macaroni cheese because it doesn't hold together well and often has small bits of ham/bacon/brocolli throughout. AND NO CHEDDAR. Ugh. I don't know much about cooking, but I know this!

Following the idea that whatever isn't over 90% meat is a side dish, though, I'll probably say that there are too many side dishes to choose from, although mashed potatoes would indeed be right up there.
