btw, I dont think Ive ever had a Ploughmans that contains ham or any meat.

my local pub does a ham or cheese ploughmans, i'm just greedy

You can't use just any old cheese. Preferably an unpasteurised local cheese, one of my favourites being Lincolnshire Porter.

 

[Adam]

Never had one. However, I am as English as they come

PC GONE MAD, you can't say PLOUGMAN, its PLOUGH PERSON

 

[Briton]

Sounds more like a test of Englishness to me.

You can't say that either as in this enlightened age they are "field furrowing engineers".

Decent slab of cheese, a nice extra-mature cheddar always goes well. Then some nice crusty bread, lettuce, tomato, possibly a pickled onion or two thrown in, branston pickle, maybe even if going a bit crazy a bit of coleslaw thrown in there too.

Mmmm love ploughmans, with one caveat, that they are decent sized and not some crappy little 2"x2" cube of cheese! Although you have to get the balance right with the assorted extras, as it's no good if you're left with a big chunk of cheese to eat on its own!

I would have gone down the plougher or plough operator line myself.

Cracker, slice cheese, pickle, little plastic knife - all vacuum packed in plastic and sold behind the bar at my local (with a pint of pedigree )

 

[dustiestrat]

i'm about as english as they come and never had myself a ploughmans give me bacon sarny anyday .

We used to run a family farm park, ploughman lunches can come in ham or cheese verieties. but i prefer cheese, ie a good nettle cheese or local chilli chedder. fantastic. plus nobody as suggested the correct style of bread. it should be a bun with a little bun stuck on the top and crusty. in days gone by the bun would have been scraped out and the bun filled with the other trimmings and the litttle bun was the lid to store it.



one of my favourite summer dishes to eat in the new forrest with propper ale, gorgeous.

Your delusional about your level of Englishness as far as I'm concerned. Get down to your nearest country pub and sort it out before we have you deported.

 

[jas72]

Ploughman's lunch is a sambo with some hand sliced bread

with as much veg as you can stick in it.

All you English should be deported...bloody immigrants

 

[Zefan]

There's nothing more British than having a good old moan about things, they should just ask you to write an essay attempting persuade the reader of your arguement. Proper Brits do that daily so there'd it'd be no sweat

 

[Rebelius]

im completely british, but have no idea what's in a ploughmans.

i could tell you what's in a man-wich though: bacon egg hash brown sausage brown sauce and butter with white toast.

 

[SGCWill]

Well, my passport says, "Nationality: British"

Therefore I am British.

Ploughmans = stale plain bread, cheddar or any kind of english cheese that has a strong nutty taste, pickle (branston or piccalili), cucumber, tomatoe, lettuce and apple, with a bottle of milk corked with a newspaper, or a 1/2 of proper bitter - although tea is an acceptable alternative, if you're lucky enough to work close to the farmhouse.
