Steps to make Tex's Classic British Pub Ploughman's Lunch ππ·π§πΊπ²π¬π§:
- Because of it's simplicity of ingredients, the keyword to any Ploughman's is 'generosity'. Ask yourself if your Ploughman's is going to be filling enough to keep a hardworking ploughman going for a whole afternoon?
- This should do it, right?
- Before you do anything else, pop your beer in the freezer for about 20 minutes to get it good and frosty β Next, cut a good sized wedge from your cheese
- Add your crusty cob to the plate, unsliced, with the butter. Tiger rolls are also a good alternative, as are sliced baguettes or petit pain
- Plate up your pickles and/or chutneys. Use toothpicks to make your pickled onions easier to eat. I'm using traditional pickled silverskin onions, and Branston's (ploughman's) pickle. Suggestions for other sides are listed in the introduction at the top of the page.
- Add the cheese, ham, and salad…
- Slice a wedge from the pork pie if using, and add to the plate. Strictly speaking, pork pie is not an original component, but it has become a somewhat traditional addition to a Ploughman's, and they taste awesome with cheese and pickle. Besides, there's no hard and fast rules about additions once you have all the classic elements in place (bread, butter, cheese, pickle, and beer)
- Serve with a fork π΄ and a cheese knife or a table knife πͺ capable of cutting the bread, the cheese, and spreading the butter. Apparently the table etiquette with cobs and bread buns is that you should tear them if you're not going to butter them, but slice them if you are. I don't think ploughmen would've paid much attention to etiquette though…
- …and of course, don't forget your pint of ale, straight from the freezer. π»
- If you want to add a few herbs as a garnish etc., the following all go well with cheese: ~ parsley ~ thyme ~ tarragon ~ marjoram ~ basil And of course dill goes great with pickles, and sage is lovely with onions
- I'm just dressing with Heinz salad cream…
