Just out of curiosity what are some of your favorite BBQ sides???

I personally like coleslaw and beans a lot.
 
slaw is a must.
I like hushpuppies a lot....wonder why pappy's are so good?
huspuppies are good for soppin up sauce.
I have no problem with beans.
 
Slaw, beans and potato salad are good but one thing I like is corn casserole.

Corn Casserole
from Paula Dean's Paula's Home Cooking

1 (15 1/4-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (14 3/4-ounce) can cream-style corn
1 (8-ounce) package corn muffin mix (recommended: Jiffy)
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, stir together the 2 cans of corn, corn muffin mix, sour cream, and melted butter.
Pour into a greased casserole dish.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from oven and top with Cheddar.
Return to oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
Let stand for at least 5 minutes and then serve warm.
 
Everything you guys have said sounds good to me. If ABTs are a side, then right this minute they would be my #1 side.
A small serving of something sweet after eating Q suits me fine.
 
Potatoe Salad, bbq beans, and baked potatoes. I'm also fond of green beans and mac 'n' cheese.

I like potatoe salad w/o mustard in it, with dill pickles and bacon.
 
All of the above mentioned..Im serving a home made macaroni and cheese tonight with my brisket...(ala paula dean)

also smoked corn on the cob..(bacon wrapped) - technique posted in sides recipe section..ala Wittdog.

that sounds good......I'm a bean guy, like the slaw too, fries aren't a bad option either with a nice shaved brisket sandwich
 
In the south it's beans,slaw, and potato salad. Hushpuppies are only served at a fish fry.

I'm glad cappy invented serving hushpuppiess with bbq so now I can try that. :LOL:
 
Let's see...there's:

Seafood Tater Salad
Beans
Slaw
Macaroni Salad
Corn Bread
Fried Okra
Mac and Cheese
Hush Puppies (depending on where in NC you're at)
Collard Greens w/ Ham Hocks

I'm sure that there are a few more that I can't think of at the moment.

I now have a few more favorite sides!
How could I forget cornbread??
Puff, you did say hush puppies -- cornbread made in fat instead of an oven. :D (Yeah, I like both hush puppies and cornbread too.)

Cliff H, a fish fry might be the only time hush puppies appear where you live, but when we sampled the NCBS Historic Barbecue Trail in March, we sure got served a lot of hush puppies with BBQ, pretty near all the way across North Carolina. :)

(Speaking of hush puppies and fish reminds me of the nasty pups they used to serve at Red Lobster, back before I stopped going there. :shock: )
