I always find this a tricky one.

Pork Pie should really be eaten with HP Sauce but, HP doesn’t really go with salad.

I dabbled with salad cream for a while but it just didn’t hit the spot.

I’ve now settled for Branson Pickle when faced with this conundrum, but am not fully convinced.

Any ideas?

I'd stick with HP sauce and salad. Maybe mayonnaise or salad cream with the salad and HP sauce with the pork pie and have a bit of a cheeky mix.

It's the future, I've tasted it.

A good 'grind' of black pepper, not over the piecrust but onto the Pork filling.

That’s almost as bad as letting the baked beans touch the fried egg in a cooked breakfast.

I’m sorry, but you have to have some kind of sauce with the pork pie.

I’m assuming that the pork pie is a decent one and not festooned with lumps of that revolting gelatine, so will need some assistance on it’s journey

My step mother taught me to mix the beans, tomatoes and fried eggs together on a cooked breakfast into a big mush. I was dubious, but it works great. Wonderful to dip your fried bread into.

Salad cream! Did you say salad cream?

Repent, sinner, repent........and beg for mercy from the food gods.

Egg and beans on the same plate!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhh. There is no hope.

Talking of foodie things which should never come into contact, I want a two tiered dinner plate. I agonise over doing roast potatoes, carefully ensuring they are crispy and crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside, last thing out of the oven and piping hot, then watch in resignation as guests have them swimming in gravy. I have the least amount of gravy possible such that my meat is covered, but that there is no spillage into the curtilage of the potatoes. It would be so much easier with a two tier plate (think of paddy terraces), such that meat could be unashamedly engravified, but my potatoes remained well above the high tide mark.

A camping favourite of mine was boil up a pan of baked beans then poach an egg in the middle or better still fry some Bacon then take it out and pour the Beans into the frying pan and again an Egg in the middle.

My home made chutney. I currently have a choice between tomato, cranberry & nectarine, golden beetroot, spiced pineapple or gingered yellow plum.

And a classic vinaigrette on the salad.

Nope, nope, nope. That wants little cakes and sandwiches with no crusts.
