Ploughman's

[Anonymous No.6052271]

Looking for ideas to make a good ploughman's lunch for an American friend staying with me and my family over Christmas and New Year. I include ham, some eggs, good bread, chutney, maybe two different cheeses and home made bread. Sliced apple and grated carrot.

He'll be staying with us until after New Year and has never tasted bong food. My wife is Scottish so loads of soup. Christmas dinner is already planned. I just want to give him some good bong food. We fought in Afghanistan and he's a good lad.

>in before English food is shit

Well, it's kind of an deconstructed sandwich.
I'd expect you to make toad in a hole or cottage pie.
I make my meat and cheese plates with
salumi: something whole muscle, some salami
fruit: berries in season, something tart, something sweet
pickled: olives, caper berries, giardiniera, or pickled onions, or peperoncini
cheese: something sharp, something creamy, something blue veined, one more
bread: brushed with olive oil and toasted
"nuts": usually cashews

Pick related has tuna-stuffed peperoncini and goat cheese-stuffed peppers.

I doubt many ploughmen ate this well or had such diversity.

Fuck these always look so good. Are they really meant to all be eaten at once though?

Have you considered offering him a plateful of faggots?

[Anonymous No.6054342]

I'm sure he'll find it "ok"

ham, ya dingus.

cured meats are a pretty big part of our culture although we never really made a big thing of cured sausages.

pickled onions
pickled beetroot
piccalilli
scotch eggs (make your own with black pudding if you're feeling up to it)
colmans mustard

i prefer peach chutney to mango chutney

Other than that, if you're looking for bong suggestions:
shepherd's pie or fish pie
crab salad
pies or pasties (lamb and mint is my favourite)
curry

and try to sort him out with a cream tea, clotted cream is the best

Neither of those are "British" foods. Unless you're the type who think that Indian food is British.

non british here what you are eat first from this lunch?

Holy fuck I never knew this existed and this looks like my ideal meal.

I fucking love watch goes in sandwiches but hate sandwiches themselves, and I love finger snack type foods like fruits and cheeses. Fuck. Now I have to make it my life goal to try a legitimate ploughman's meal
