These days if you order a ploughman's lunch in a pub in the UK, it
consists of the proper bread, cheese and pickled onions, but then they
add Branston Pickle (which is really a sweet chutney) and salad both of
which clash!
When i was at uni, my friend and I would go for a short hike in the
Dales finishing up at a pub. There, with pints of bitter, we'd eat
bread, cheese and my mother's pickled onions. My mouth is watering at
the memory.
