I should pickle some onions.

Gotta have me some meat on there. I'm more of a fan of the Winzervesper (gooooogle it)

Not bad, though. Sometimes keeping it simple is best. Would eat

>>6904791

that's a pretty sad ploughman's there OP.

Where's the meat?
Why is that just plain ol' onion instead of a pickled onion?
The bread looks extra shitty too.

>> No.6905238

>>6905228

no ploughman's is a sad ploughman's. the mere existence of cheese, bread and beer, wherever you are, is a sign that you are somewhere worth being in.

>> No.6905243

>>6905238

sure. But if there's no meat it ain't a ploughman's. I'd also go so far as to say that shit in OP doesn't even qualify as proper bread.

Let's get some good ploughman's lunches going in this thread.

This is literally something a hipster would eat.

>>6905247

every pub I've ever been to serves a ploughmans' with some roast beef, a banger, some ham or the like

As for the bread, the stuff in OP's photo looks like some kind of presliced crap from the supermarket. Get some nice crusty country-style bread in there.

>> No.6905280

>>6905278

it doesn't look like supermarket bread at all ffs. stop shitting on everything you see on the internet, you're overextending yourself.

>> No.6905284

>>6905280

why on earth is it so perfectly square then? the sort of bread I'd expect to see with a ploughman's would be more of a round (boule) shape, would be crusty as fuck and have a very coarse crumb.

>> No.6905297

>>6905284

it isn't perfectly square. it's just a tightly crumbed sandwich loaf. you realise it is perfectly possible to make these at home right? just use a fucking square tin. i see you know nothing about bread and only buy the most oblong grey floury stuff with as many giant holes as you can see, because then you KNOW it's homemade.

I get that. Why would you choose that sort of bread for a ploughman's? It makes perfect sense for a sandwich, but it does not make sense for a ploughman's.

For a sandwich you want a relatively soft bread with a very consistent crumb so that it's easy to eat when you bite into it. You don't want the firmness of the bread to force the filling out of the sandwich, etc. But a ploughman's isn't a sandwich. Those concerns are totally moot since you're simply picking up a hunk of bread and biting off a piece (perhaps with some butter). It's the perfect application for a heartier bread that has some good texture and bite to it.

so you've changed from 'it's not even bread, it looks like it came from a supermarket, ewwwww' to 'it's not the optimal choice of bread for the occasion'.

you know what, i don't fucking care. it's a ploughman's. you get what you're given. now fuck off.

The bread doesn't look like shit in general. It looks like shit for a Ploughman's. Which is what this fucking thread is about.

>> No.6905370

>>6905349

yes, so you've backpedalled. and i disagree, i think it looks perfectly fucking good.

>>backpedalling

More like repeating myself until you finally get the point that the bread in OP is barely bread at all, let alone good enough for a ploughman's.

There's been no backpedaling at all-- just the constant repetition that bread isn't good enough.

it's bread. it is firmly, definitively bread. there is nothing wrong with it. fucking kill yourself.
