Roast spuds covered in salt will do for me.
And I think that Guinness and chocolate are also a good mix.

I do like the pork retchings but the old arteries just will not stand them any longer

I like strong , mouth shrivelling cheeses but apart from specialist shops they have gone to be replaced by bland tasting cheddars. Can anyone remember sharp ( a term used before strong replaced it ) Canadian Cheddar. I have not seen it for ages so what does Canada do with all its strong cheese ? Most likely been emasculated to mild flavour or the milk is turned into proccesed cheese ( ?) squares. It was the best I ever tasted.
I am gonna have to keep off this thread....the fridge is calling too me again.The pork pie went earlier as did the cheese and french bread. It may now be the turn of the ham hock and cold potatoes. My stomach is making strange noises, it cannot be hunger, it must be complaining of abuse its had today.
I was going to say that a Good Companion whilst drinking a pint is lighter on calories but they would make you stay longer and drink more.
Thick slices of cold ham with a bit of mustard go well with a decent pint of real cider
Theres a Man with a Mullet going Mad with a Mallet in Millets !
I find them invaluble for disguising the taste of less than wonderful beer
The pork pies sold in Bathams pubs are superb and the only food that goes with beer in a pub.except a proper old fashioned ploughmans of course.
A decent cheddar should make your eyeballs sweat.
For accompanying curry most British beers don't work - not even "Indian" Pale Ale - give me a lager (Bangla is best) or preferably Hoegaarden.
I did the Severn Valley last weekend and it was great. Apart from the King and Castle in Kiddy, the one thing that was lacking was a cheese and onion cob.
When I did Sedgley to Lye in Feb we had a cheese and onion cob in every pub and it was fab..... and some scratchings
Waes hael!
Being a Londoner I'd not heard of cobs before so I looked them up and found this article from 2007.

Are they 'baps' down there?
*insert something clever/humorous/interesting here*
save the cob
I am a salmon !!
Spooky, the Beacon Hotel and Ma Pardoe's were on the crawl I mentioned.
I think cobs can be soft or crusty, baps are soft but can be floury. They insisted on calling them barm cakes when I lived in Liverpool - or (boringly) a bread roll. Crusty ones are great for giving you jaw-ache
