That is the perfect description of a Monday night cooked-by-Dad tea. Whatever meat is left over from the weekend (straight out of the fridge) with red-hot enormo-chips and lumpy gravy. One of those childhood horrors you think you've forgotten, and all it takes is the Blue Peter theme tune to bring it all flooding back.
Love cold ham though.
