The branding of ploughman’s lunch was invented in the 60s but that same Wikipedia page states it had been a common meal for rural labourers for centuries.
Thank you for this info. I wouldn’t have thought to look into such a thing. It reads to me like it was created by marketers, though, not politicians. It says “the Cheese Bureau, a marketing body affiliated with the J. Walter Thompson advertising agency” created it in the '50s.
Try a ploughmans meal - bread, cheese and pickle. Awesome as a lunch.
Btw, that “ploughman’s lunch” was created in the 1960s by british politicians. It has nothing to do with medieval times, it’s just meant to evoque that vague feeling.

Is that a pickle or some pickle?
Neither. It’s just pickle.
