A traditional British pub lunch classic with bread, cheese, meat and pickles.

Ingredients

  • 6 oz Cheddar cheese (or Stilton, or Red Leicester - any British cheese you enjoy)
  • 4 oz pickles (and/or piccalilli)
  • 4 oz chutney (like Branston pickle)
  • 3 oz gherkins (or cornichons)
  • 1 baguette (or other bread)
  • 2 oz butter (really good quality)
  • 1 pork pie (optional)
  • 1 hardboiled egg
  • 4 oz ham/gammon (slices)
  • 1 cucumber (small Persian)
  • 1 oz lettuce leaves (or small salad)
  • 1 apple (cut into 16 slices) or a pear, cut

Instructions

  • Begin by placing the pickles, piccalilli and chutneys into small bowls or ramekins, and arrange on the board or platter.
  • Next add the rest of the items, arranging them so that they are visually pleasing (darks next to light foods, different textures near each other, etc.)
  • Serve with fresh, crusty bread or a rustic cottage loaf or brown country bread.

Notes

  • Measurements are not critical in tis dish, but quality is the best!
