Ploughman's Lunch - not just for lunch!

It's been hot all day and now the house is stifling!  But you need to serve dinner.  It's too hot to light the stove!  But you need to serve dinner.  It's too hot to eat food that is even warm, let alone hot!  But you need to serve dinner.  Ploughman's Lunch to the rescue!  Not just for lunch ....

Honestly, this is my favourite meal to order in England.  Some pubs supply a simply awesome assortment of chutneys or relishes to accompany the Ploughman's Lunch. 

And if you were diligent in preserving your previous year's harvest, you will have a fine selection of homemade chutneys and relishes available in your pantry or freezer.

Linked to the right are recipes for Apple Chutney (featured in our Ploughman's Lunch) and Green Tomato Relish.  Both are wonderful choices to dress any sandwich!

Bread or buns

This is without a doubt, the best meal to serve on a hot summer's day.  It is so simple, most everyone loves a good sandwich and they can assemble to suit their taste - and best of all - no cooking required!
