Cheese and marmalade sandwiches. The stronger the cheese the better.

Cheese scones with rhubarb & ginger jam.

It's mixing savoury and sweet but it's the afternoon snack of the Gods

- Own farts

- The liquid from bovine-breasts mixed with mastitis pus, only now curdled and a foot-stink bacteria added to make it so putrid that the resultant goop tastes like tonsil-stones

- ^Same cheeses, yet amplified in taste by combining in mouth with a grape

- Mucus-covered organs

My sister used to live in Santander and a popular drink was red wine and cola. Can't remember what it was called, but that was surprisingly pleasant.

Oooooooo, had forgotten all about that! Remember smashing loads on a 90's exchange trip to Oviedo. Comes pre-mixed right?

peanut butter and marmite doesn't sound like the work of the devil. That's god's own combination, sounds delicious, is.

Any in particular? Or just as a general mission statement?

When I prepare food for a big day ride I make Elvis sandwiches for the group. Crispy cob (bread roll), butter, streaky bacon, crunchy peanut butter, apricot conserve. All the necessary food groups in one irresistible bundle.

I remain unconvinced

Norwegian brown cheese on ginger nut biscuits. I swear there's crack cocaine in that cheese. Once I start on this stuff I'm strangely compelled to eat the lot.

Mrs Binners spent a lot of time working out in Spain. She swears by this. It is herself who bought the sparkling Shiraz.

While we’re on the subject, chilled red wine sounds wrong, but this stuff is bloody great in the sun, straight out of the fridge

Christmas cake and really strong extra mature cheddar.

Crunchy peanut butter and strawberry jam on Scotch pancakes.

Brussels paté on lemon & sultana Scotch pancakes.

All 3 for breakfast sounds like the perfect start to the day.

OK, I'll be honest - I thought that this was utter bollocks. But I happen to have both strong cheese and chocolate digestives and I conducted an experiment.

Long story short, it's bloody brilliant. Can't believe I've never tried this before.

Marmite and raspberry jam on toast. You need the marmite on quite thick to cut through the sweetness of the jam.

Put a mince pie in the oven, get it lovely and warm. Pop the top off when it comes out and put a decent slice of stilton inside.

This combination has been responsible for most of my Christmas weight gain since it was shown to me many years ago.
