Breaded Calamari Rings

[Chipchopper]

I bought a pack of these, a few weeks ago and enjoyed them.
What, would make a good dish to accompany them ?

Suggestions please. TIA

I sometimes have chips but mostly enjoyed them on their own with dips like mayonnaise and a chili one. I have a big plateful!!!

nice Greek salad with lots of feta over the top..

I'm with Sharon, just eat them with a dip.

Smoky paprika alioli

Why do they insist on calling it calamari? It's squid, pure and simple.

[NoMercy]

Breaded squid doesn't sound so inviting.

[Chipchopper]

Thanks for your answers, salad and dips plus some bread sounds good!
I don't mind what they insist on calling them, I still like them.

Calamari is a culinary name for squid

Calamari is an Italian word for squid. I don't like anything that is breaded but I would probably just dunk it into a chilli dip.

Morue, garni avec pommes de frites et purée de pois.

Sounds lovely: cod, chips and mushy peas.

[Islay]

mushy is different from puree so surely it should be

Morue, copeaux et pois mousseux

[Jackdaw33]

If you say so, though cod, shavings and sparkling peas does not quite convey the nature of the dish.

[Islay]

well neither does puree mean mushy!

[Jackdaw33]

Does it not? I bet many French housewives would disagree.

[Islay]

You could bet all you want! There are many chefs that would disagree with you!

[237SJ]

I quite like sparkling peas

The one dish I regret never trying in France was Steack (sic) Tatare. Basically raw mince mixed with mayonnaise topped with a raw egg. Alas I lacked the couilles. Would loved to have tasted it though.

Quite common in Belgium, I had it in Brugge a lovely restaurant on the main square. Not to my taste at all.

I'm not mad on squid rings but I do like the tenticles. I can remember the first time I ever ate them - on a pizza in the Movenpick in leipzig about 25 years ago. Re raw steak - I would never eat raw meat because tapeworms don't appeal to me.

I've come across mayo in steak tartare! A new one on me, can't see why it's needed when you've got the egg to bind.
