According to a piece in the Spectator(the non-political bit of the magazine)there is a resurgence in London pie and mash shops:

Pie and Mash consists of mashed potato, a meat pie (invariably with very little actual meat) and green liquor (parsley sauce).

The liquor combines with the mash and pie to make a beard friendly mixture that rarely ends up in the beard rather than the mouth.

Pie and mash is an ideal meal for hirsute flexitarians, those people who mainly dont eat meat but occasionally do because it is 95% vegetarian with only very small amounts of meat. The stewed eels also traditionally sold by pie and mash shops are not recommended to beard wearers.
