Topic: Ploughmans Lunch

[CHOPPER]

Quintessentially British. Is there any finer British food for the hardworking folk of the land.

[The Gulleysucker]

That's just a cheese and crackers snack, not a Ploughmans lunch.

This is a Ploughmans lunch...

Maybe for you country folk, but for us towns folk, the former is the ambrosia of the Ploughmans Lunch world.


Plus, no self respecting Lid is armed with a cheese knife and board these days, Gulley.


Turf-wars are not won with cheese boards.

They make a great frisbee for hardcases though.

My favourite lunch of all time. Always remember The White Cross on the river in Richmond.

Must have either piccalilli or Branston pickle.

Sounds like the name of a Viz annual.

Branson pickle all the way. Piccalilli is too astringent. Branson balances sweet and sour admirably.

Those silverskin onion things are simply not acceptable.

I hadn't realised that Richard had diversified into the pickle market these days, Howard. 😂

Remember in the mid 80s when I worked for the electricity board the rathbone pub in Wavertree used to give a free ploughman’s with a pint . Big crusty cob , big lump of cheese , tomato and pickle turned into a regular lunchtime haunt in the days of thinking nothing of having four pints then back to work with a mouthful of polos

The pic Gulley put up looks amazing and I was gonna ask what would be in the pot. And of course it is.

[BarryCrocker]

Fantastic pub

Indeed. Would love to get back there one day in a post-Covid world.

A Ploughman's lunch is getting your tongue between the ample arse cheeks of the farmers wife whilst he's out sowing the seed and spreading the good seed on the land.

A true great, 3rd verse even better, remember it was a favourite in our hamlet at lambing. Always shouted off by Mr Cruarkie and his boys.

Have I wandered into a Grumbleweeds appreciation thread?

Not sure there should be a boiled egg in a ploughman’s. Controversial to say the least.

Boiled egg belongs in a Salad Nicoise along with anchovies, boiled egg doesn't belong in a Ploughman's.
