On a related matter ... I'm anticipating a heated discussion about doughnuts. But I'll leave it to the award-winning journo to kick things off.

Can you get any food more working class than a ploughmans?

I think it's a great choice although nothing to do with working class more of a pretention to be. The present incarnation of a ploughman's trying to ape working class grub is a result of an advertising campaign in the sixties to get more people to eat in pubs.
Style over substance and a wonderful metaphor for most of the stuff that seems to be served in the 1901 and the spin that exists around the Amex. Of course the spuds have to be added to try and put the cherry on top, but then the 1901, if a woman, would be a brass with a fur coat and no knickers.
Keep up the good work these threads are a highlight for me

I remember the food that was available in the Ram at Firle, back in the 1970s, when there were several ploughmen who ate and drank there (Tamplin's Sussex Bitter - long before Harvey's first put in an appearance).
The food was called "bread and cheese" and consisted of a loaf of bread, a bread knife, a lump of cheese, a butter dish, a knife, and a jar of pickled onions. People helped themselves to whatever they wanted, in whatever quantities they fancied, and returned the rest to Mary in the kitchen. She wouldn't have dared call this a "ploughman's lunch". These days, of course, the contractors who plough fields commute from all over the place and probably eat in Thai restaurants.

I'm not convinced. Or maybe I don't fully understand what you mean.

You know exactly what my point is. Anyway carry on reading the guardian / independent, whilst berating 'cameron' then stick your X on the ballot paper and then renew your 1901 membership safe in the knowledge you've done your bit for the 'working classes'.
