fixings

Toppings and sides

Fixings are the accompaniments or side dishes that complete a meal, especially a traditional American one: a turkey with all the fixings, burger fixings.

The term suggests the full spread—stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, or lettuce, tomato, and onion.

More broadly, fixings can mean the ingredients or components needed for any task: the fixings for a cocktail.
