Cheese and pickle rules the world!

The world of sandwiches, anyway. They are dead right, of course - it is definitely the best filling. It was me and my brother's favourite sandwich as kids...and we still have it for lunch probably 80% of the time. You never get bored with it, as long as you vary the bread. The cheese has to be a nice mature cheddar or a crumbly white such as Lancashire, Wensleydale or Cheshire. Danish blue will definitely not do! Pickle - well, obviously Branstons is a winner, but Nigella's spicy apple chutney is probably my favourite. Sorry Mum. You made all that effort with cottage cheese and tomato (eurgh), tuna and cucumber (not bad) and egg mayonnaise (smelly, but not bad either). All we really wanted was cheese and pickle.
