Of all of the snacks available in the pub to go with your pint, what is the best one to complement a good real ale?

I've seen a few articles in the last few months extolling the virtues of a pint of Batham's Best Bitter and a bag of port scratchings. Sounds pretty good to me, even if I am tempted to scrape the fat off some of the larger ones.

As for chocolate with beer, I don't get it, it just spoils it.

For the pork scratching fanatic, I've added this link: http://www.porkscratchingworld.com/. May I say that G Simmons off Green Lane in Walsall does bags of hard or crunchy at the factory door for £1 per lb. Bargain.
