Hi everyone!

Any ideas how to express this in the following?

English translation:turf 'n surf
Explanation:
One way it's said in the UK - i.e. meat and fish in the same dish. Does sound a little uglier in English IMO though!

Actually, I think it's usually 'surf 'n' turf' and not the other way round!
