The Ploughman’s Sandwich

I got my hands on some Ballymaloe Country Relish last weekend!

V brought this delicious Irish relish with her when she came to visit Tokyo with her family all the way from her kitchen in Kobe. Yes, that’s right, it’s homemade!

I actually had to ask V how to use this relish because I’ve never really tried relish before. She told me it went well in a Ploughman’s Sandwich. So naturally, my next question was, what exactly is a Ploughman’s Sandwich?

V was nice enough to explain what kind of sandwich it was and then I went home and did what any respectable person would do. I googled it. And I found this really interesting website called All Sandwiches that actually had a recipe for a Ploughman’s Sandwich!

I’ve been making this sandwich to take to work lately. I love it.

Ploughman's Lunch = a delicious British snack that's just as enjoyable as British English. We'll convert you to the Empire, eventually! 😀

I grew up with relish and chutney. I assume we inherited it from our British colonial overlords via India.

Baie lekker, ne?

Ru, I'm not too sure about becoming English but I swear in a past life I was Irish. I have dreams about Ireland (or what I imagine to be Ireland…ha!). It's the very first place I want to go if I ever make it over to Europe.

I'm still loving my relish…mmm-mmm-good! I had to look up chutney. Is it kind of Indian with all the spices? Sounds good!

Baie lekker, indeed! 😀
