Ploughman's Lunch

Ploughman’s Lunch is a lunch packed for a ploughman to take out into the fields for his lunch. Just where the name or contents of a Ploughmans comes from has been lost in the mists of time though there are records of it mentioned in 18th century literature.

Last Sunday we invited friends over for lunch, I was keen for it to be a leisurely affair so we could chat and catch up. One friend is both gluten and dairy intolerant so I had to make sure we could cater for her in what we served.

I decided to serve a ploughman’s lunch consisting of –

Mixed Lettuce, Cherry Tomatoes, Red Onion, Avocado, cucumber, Mushrooms, Gherkins, Sun dried Tomatoes, Olives, Beetroot Relish, Ham, Roast Beef, Salami, salmon, Pickled Onions, Quince Paste, Cheese’s, Pesto Dip, Pickles and a variety of breads & gluten free wraps.
