The TV quizmaster says, Which two foods go together?
Fish and

1) aubergines
2) mascarpone
3) chips

Now the answer is of course chips. However the contestant doesn't answer directly. Instead, we go through a tour of the alternatives

'Well I suppose it could be fish and aubergines - certainly something like that is rumoured to be Vladimir Putin's favourite breakfast. And if you go round about daybreak to the dockside bars in Palermo, you'll often see the Sicilian peasant fishermen having a breakfast mascarpone cheese and swordfish, washed down with the local brandy before they set out fo the day's fishing. But I think in this case....the answer is ....chips!'
