Friend of mine is participating in a Chili cook-off, and I want to help out by providing a interesting side-item to go with the chili. This isn't any sort of special contest, simply a in-house contest with some folks across the military base I work at.
However the idea of going with ye ol faithful, cornbread, is something I'd like to avoid. I'm not typically an adventerous person, except in the one area of cooking where I like to try new things. So I'm wondering if anyone has any idea for an alternative side item or perhaps a non-standard cornbread reciepe that would be interesting to go with chili.
P.S.
If it matters, my friend (and I) are big fans of really thick chili, and he has a preference for a bit of spiciness to it.
