Just a glass of port, dark chocolate and a roaring log burner.
Besides the indigestion, does the log burner not burn your mouth?

I worked in Haslingden for a couple of years, it was there that I was introduced to "pie in a barm"

Ah, now what you have there is a Wigan Kebab.

yeah, but [i]mint sauce[/i]??? ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

I'd much rather have a sausage butty, followed by some parkin and perhaps some bonfire toffee while burning an effigy of a failed terrorist

Cheese and honey is a classic combination! Not sure about the instant coffee though...

Nah, that's a 'slappy'.

A Wigan kebab is 3or4 pies on a stick, like a kebab...

I keep saying - it's me mom's own 1970's Rover Strike Special Spuds:

Hot crispy-jacketed spuds - halved lengthways, emptied, contents mashed together well with salted butter and corned beef until you have dark pink potato.

Return the meaty mash to skins, top with lots of sliced or grated cheddar cheese, return to oven or medium grill until all is bubbly golden or you can't wait any longer.

Die and go to comfort food heaven. Add sausage on side and be reincarnated and go again. Add frozen peas if still feeling guilty.

Another easy one:
Cut butternut squash lengthways in half
De-seed, sprinkle on some cumin seeds, apply oil or butter and crushed garlic
Roast for about 1hr
Scoop out the flesh, mix it with nuts of choice, more spices of choice, pancetta cubes
Put mix back in scooped out skins, generously cover with cheese then back in oven for 20 mins
Serve with veg, carbs and red wine
Easy

Pie and mash, chunky soup and crusty bread, roast dinners or bangers and mash. Washed down with Guiness of course.

Corned beef hash! Although putting it back in the skin is inspired.

Just to rewind a page, and the discussion of the ultimate Tomato soup accompaniment, I am sure I learned years ago from someone of this parish that the answer to that particular question was Pickled Onion Monster Munch "croutons"

No. In so many ways, just no!

In the same way that pepperoni pizza is not a bacon and tomato sarnie, although both constructed from thin smoky pork, bread and tomatoes.

Rubbish. Potato and corned beef mashed together = corned beef hash.

Bless though.

Every day's a school day. Pie in soup, waffle butties and rover strike special spuds are most definitely on the agenda. And some other inspired stuff! Monster munch croutons? Truly inspired!!!

Tonight here we're keeping it simple, but comfort-food-tastic! Proper bratwurst, smothered in fried onions, on finger rolls, plenty of crap cheese singles and ketchup. Mmmmmmmmmmm ๐Ÿ™‚
