 What is a Ploughman's Lunch?
A ploughman's lunch is a platter of food which contains, at a minimum, bread, cheese, and pickled vegetables, typically onions.
The name and ingredients of the ploughman's lunch are meant to evoke a bygone era, when a ploughman would have packed his lunch to the field so that it would be ready to hand when he wanted to take a break.
Clearly, a cold lunch would have been the most suitable lunch for a ploughman, since it will keep while he works, and many of the classic ingredients in the lunch are also relatively stable at room temperature for several hours.
