Whatcha Eatin ? - 2018

Its actually a well known 'snack' to eat cheese, grapes / apple together. Its called a Ploughmans lunch. For tea I used to have toasted teacakes, cheese and strawberry jam. It was really nice.


Today I just had some soup and a vegan cheese toastie and now Im having blackcurrent juice and cola.

Mmmm American foods are celebrated the world over, but the Brits themselves eat some pretty nifty things.

I have a really old cookbook from the 1960's called The Cooking of the British Isles. In it, the Ploughman's lunch is described as a slice of dark bread, a piece or slice of cheese, a sausage, and a pickled onion, along with a bottle of beer. I'm not a big beer drinker, and the sausage would have to be of the meatless variety, but that sounds like a delicious lunch to me!

I think its more adapted by region, you can get ploughman sandwich which are usually salad, cheese and a chutney pickle called Branston (dont know if thats something you guys get??)
My family always had apple and/or grapes with sweet digestive biscuits, cheese, chutneypickle and a cuppa tea

I agree about the American food thing...British food is always shown to be dull and bland..We have some good stuff too!

A fancy French restaurant my husband and I went to years ago pre-veg was the first place I had cheese and fruit plate. And a New England thing is apple pie with sharp cheddar cheese.

Yeah the apple pie/cheese combo grosses me out also. My stepfather has eaten his apple pie like that a few times.

apple pie/cheese combo

No.

 

[ledboots]

No.

I agree, but I was never a cheese fan even before I gave up dairy anyway.

Just had tofu scramble on ww toast with smart bacon. I am amazed at how much it reminds me of traditional scrambled eggs/bacon. Totally delicious and satisfying.

An oat cake.

PB&J sandwich, mini pretzels, and a banana.

I used to love apple pie with cheddar. Now that Daiya has the cheddar wedge, I might try that combo again.
