Potatoes are a vegetable. You grill them with carrots and put them next to your meat and rice as a side dish. It's supplementary, not necessary.

edit: It's ok, but overall it's an inferior steak side dish to steamed broccoli.
 
Ketchup's good with omlettes and french toast.

I'm curious about how people eat boiled eggs though. What I've always done is medium-hard boiled, sliced down the middle into 2 halves with a teeny bit of butter spread on each half. With salt and pepper of course
 
you're supposed to eat the rice WITH the steak.

like when you get chinese food and you have white rice and chicken -- are you honestly going to eat the white rice without the chicken?

personally I like the rice better if it's something seasoned, but the point holds true.

a1 and rice @Chou Toshio?

I eat barbecue sauce with steak anyway
 
Someone clearly hasn't eaten good rice.

edit: @Jukain-- I generally don't put sauce on rice, because I feel like the meat's flavor should even out with the rice, and sauce on rice makes it too salty; also makes the rice kind of salty. I won't put A1 straight on my rice, but rice and A1 covered steak is going in my mouth at the same time so it's effectively the same thing. I just feel you can't control the amount of sauce as much if you put it on the rice because rice is granulous.

That said, it's all going in your mouth together, so it doesn't really matter-- lots of people like to put stuff on their rice.

In Hawaii it's pretty common to put Shoyu (soy sauce) on rice, but lots of people even put ketchup on it. Ketchup I used to do as a kid, but kind of grew out of it. With Chinese food, as a kid, almost every dish's sauce tasted really good on rice to me-- especially steam'd fish's oil/soy sauce.

Dunno, sauce on rice feels soggy to me now, but it might just be a stigma of Japanese cultural influence.


Oh, btw, the Japanese usually put a powder called furikake on rice for kids. Adults sometimes like it too, especially in ochazuke (rice with tea poured on it, usually eaten with Umeboshi (pickled plum) or salmon). My cousins love Natto with it (fermented beans) but I can't stand it.

Furikake is also good on Onigiri (rice balls), though in Hawaii we call them Musubi. Omusubi is the older phrase not commonly used in Japan anymore, but because we local Japanese have been here for generations, many of the expressions we use are from very old Japanese. In Hawaii, Furikake is also a popular Pop Corn topping.


Examples:

Spam Musubi with Furikake
(a favorite thing in Hawaii, though you don't NEED the furikake)

Man, that was a ridiculous tangent. So is this:

I had no idea people did this until rodan made this thread, what an eye-opener. I guess people put sauce on everything, haha. Eggs are great by themselves + a bit of salt/pepper maybe + buttery toast; slathering sauce is so intrusive.

ETA: I don't eat scrambled eggs though, gross. Boiled or poached only pls.

ETA2: oh god there's someone in this thread who puts sauce on waffles. How the fuck can you eat waffles with tomatoes. Ugh, that's disgusting.
 
I have never eaten scrambled eggs that weren't either liquid or rubber. Also they look like vomit.

I think the worst mistake of my life was eating scrambled eggs from the hospital, combine hospital food + scrambled eggs and there's no way I'm ever going back down that route again.
