Agree about the Branstons, it goes really well with cheese, and I like the way you're offered a choice; those pickled onions look great.<br /><br />BTW I read a while back that the whole idea of a ploughman'slunch was a 60s marketing ploy to get fast cheap food into Pubs.Twisted Scottish Bastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06825025524038296192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643498138460820479.post-73360588731640490592011-07-09T09:43:10.841-07:002011-07-09T09:43:10.841-07:00just one of the many useful things the pick-up can...just one of the many useful things the pick-up can do......

Kielder water is next to the Army Artillery range at Otterburn, and I can say from bitter experience that the wind comes howling over the Northumberland plains like a cryogenic banshee.<br /><br />As a bearded Scot, who oft wears a kilt, please warn the Chap that if he comes near my true Scottish state (nothing under the kilt, which makes us a tad nervous of agressive doggies. With teeth.)and growls, he will regret it. Briefly.<br /><br />Pity about the Ploughmans, and why oh why do so many pubs insist on using portion controlled packets of butter?<br /><br />Lovely post.

We ate at the Northumberland Cheese Farm last weekend - any 2 cheeses from a choice of a dozen or more,lovely bread, fresh crisp crackers and salad, an apple, a pear, some good (if overly sweet) chutney. Surroundings were a bit '80s grim, but what a feast - and all for £6.95. It can be done ...Nickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014546311920762759noreply@blogger.com
