That means clean and tidy, rather than fitting together. The pigeon pie one is new to me, and seems totally illogical. If things are fitting together, you expect a plural (e.g. alike as two peas in a pod; they go together like a horse and cart) - one pigeon pie makes no sense.

Thank you both... Yup, looks like the "expression" being "coined" on an impromptu speech may make no sense out of context... (unless explained)
I was looking for something in Spanish that could be fitting... like "van tan bien como el chocolate con los churros" or "el ajo con el aceite (alioli)" or "van tan bien como "las gambas y el ajillo... con un poco de perejil..." Any additional ideas (or good associations) are welcome... At any rate, your views are always valuable to me!
