First up, bread. This isn’t just any bread; we’re talking about the ultimate sopper-upper. A crusty French baguette or a hunk of warm cornbread is not optional—it’s a lifeline for that last bit of spicy gravy.
If you choose cornbread, make it slightly sweet. That little kiss of sugar fights the heat like a tiny, delicious boxer in your mouth. And don’t you dare skip the butter—salted, melted, and ready for action.
Garlic bread works too, but keep it bold. Regular butter is fine, but garlic butter makes everything taste like a hug from a New Orleans grandma. Just don’t burn the garlic, unless you enjoy making your kitchen smell like regret.
