My late uncle Cyril held no truck with the seperate course theory of eating. His Sunday lunch would consist of a roast meat with vegetables and gravy accompanied by apple pie and custard ALL ON THE SAME PLATE. As he quite rightly pointed out it all ended up in the same place anyway. I am of the opposite persuasion and hate meat and fruit together, yes, even gammon and pineapple. Not overly keen on salad either, if God had meant us to eat green leaves we would all have been born with buck teeth and long floppy ears.
