🎯 When to Choose What: Meal Pairing Ideas
- ✅ Balanced meal (not too heavy): Try mashed potatoes with gravy or red beans & rice + a biscuit + iced tea or water.
- 🍟 Classic comfort / indulgence: Cajun fries or mac & cheese + a biscuit, with a soda and maybe a dessert (apple pie).
- 🍎 For a lighter sweet treat: One dessert item (e.g. cinnamon apple pie) instead of fries, especially if you want to avoid heavy sides.
- 👥 Sharing or groups: Multiple sides (e.g. fries + red beans & rice + biscuits) can be shared alongside a few mains — good for families/friends.
