Ploughman's Lunch

A Ploughman's Lunch is a traditional British cold meal typically served in pubs. It usually consists of bread, cheese (often Cheddar), pickles, and sometimes cold meats or hard-boiled eggs. Accompaniments may include butter, fruit, and salad. This hearty meal is named after agricultural workers, known as ploughmen, who would take it with them for lunch while working in the fields. It emphasizes simple, rustic ingredients and is enjoyed for its ease of preparation and satisfying nature. The Ploughman's Lunch has become a symbol of British pub cuisine.
