Steak & potatoes?

Question

why do they always serve steak with potatoes ?

Answer 1

I think it depends on where you go.I work in a restaurant.You have your choice of 2 veggies or a salad.It does'nt automatically come with potatoes.

Answer 2

they don't....you can always ask for something else or read the menu and make another choice.

it started back when there were no other veggies..potatoes have always been around, when other things aren't...they're easy to keep and keep longer than other veggies.

Answer 3

Potatos are offered with everything.  I like steak and salad.

Answer 4

Because their tasty!

Answer 5

potatoes are served with everything.....whether its steak, fast food, chicken, etc....

Answer 6

Because people love the combination. Would you rather have steak and boiled prunes? I doubt it, and neither would anyone else. We all love steak and potatoes, period!

Answer 7

Answer 13

I've known restaurants that serve onion rings with steak, not a bad idea....

but when you think about it, most meat dishes are served with either a potato on the side or rice or pasta....all of which are starches.
