The traditional ploughman’s lunch, famously served in British
pubs, was always begging to be made into a sandwich; cheese, chutney, ham,
pickles, salad… and it all comes with bread? Duh.
There is only
one way to make this sandwich even more enjoyable, and that is to eat it in a
pub garden by a river, washed down with a pint of excellent beer, preferably
served in a silver tankard with your name engraved on it.
