What would be the perfect ploughmans? Has anyone had a perfect ploughmans? If so, where?

Interesting you should ask about ploughmans.Did you know it was a marketing invention?In the early 60's The Milk Marketing Board went to an advertising company(Lintas I think) to improve the sales of cheese and the rest as they say is history.

The best I have had was back in the 70s in a pub in Dovedale, Derbyshire. Thick slices of homemade bread, a huge chunk of cheese and some pickled onions and/or Branston pickle. None of the "rabbit food" they are served with today.

Sorry Sophie but a good ploughman's needs enough bread to go with an ample amount of cheese plus some pickled onions or (Branston) pickle. Forget about the salad or coleslaw :-) No offence intended just my opinion.
