Ooo...which pub? Might have a venture out next weekend to try that one.
Weird combos - I didn't like mayonnaise as a child and used to have tuna mixed with tomato ketchup on my sandwiches for school. Everyone thought this was weird but I always found it rather yummy. I might have to resurrect this combo for lunchtime wraps this week.

There is a strange Czech sauce called rajská omáčka, which can be translated both as 'heavenly sauce' and 'tomato sauce'*, and which is basically tomato ketchup with allspice, bay leaf, thyme and cloves. I have had this with tuna and pasta. I wouldn't qualify it as 'tasting quite nice', but it's quite popular over there.
* From which it follows that the fruit in the Garden of Eden was a tomato.

This might help explain them...
Minnesota State Fair fried pickles
Thank you, Kyzyl, they sound quite nice. Someone once tried to cook them on Celebrity Masterchef, and the judges had a fit of the vapours. I think the 'chef' may have got the wrong end of the stick and tried to batter the whole gherkin.
For the record *raises hand* another Brit whose partial to a PBJ sandwich.

The Cross House. It was on the specials so they might not have it every day. The best in Formby for food however is probably the Freshfields.
