Totally agree Lee. You are your own man, eat whatever you enjoy 👍
As a melton mowbray native i can definitively say pork pies should be cold
3 times same place.......we know what you are going to get here. 😀
Their roasts were awful (and you loved it for some reason.?)
Honest review of the meal. ....
It looked like something chucked together from an understocked Tesco express. Its a bloody awful excuse of a ploughman's Lee 😂😂😂
Love the vids dude, keep on rolling!
They don't do roast dinners!!! That's not The Drunken Sailor.
@@TheMacMaster Well the tin food pie & fake crust then, was that them?
With chips lined up like a kids plate.?
Not being nasty, just honest, I swear.
I watch, as I love the vids, as I've always said. I stick to my honest food opinions 😃
Looked all processed ain’t good for ya, looked shite to me tbf
Congratulations 🎉 on reaching 124K Lee , it never goes unnoticed by me Xx
Thank you x
Keep doing British food in foreign countries. You will get plenty of it in Australia as well as other things..
The term "ploughman's lunch" was invented in 1957 by the Cheese Bureau, an organization that promoted cheese sales. The Cheese Bureau encouraged pubs to serve the meal, which consists of bread, cheese, salad, and pickle.
The meal was a marketing ploy to sell British cheese in pubs.
The meal gained popularity after a nationwide marketing push from 1958 to 1977.
The concept of the meal's ingredients is much older.
The meal was a mainstay of farmers.
It was mentioned in the 1837 book Memoirs of the life of Sir Walter Scott by John G. Lockhart.
In 1891, a group of ploughmen took their employer to court after being served something other than bread and cheese. The court found in their favor and restored their right to bread and cheese.
Plough mans comes from when the farmers wives took a picnic lunch to the farmers when they were plough the fields after harvest in the horse and cart days!
I can tell you enjoyed that ploughman's lunch as you kept nodding your head it looked amazing another great video☺
Ploughmans looked great! I’m a cold pork pie man myself with Coleman’s English mustard , I’d definitely give it a 9 , enjoy your stay Lee always a pleasure to watch your travels 👍
The Ploughman's lunch as we know it became popular after Milk Marketing Board adverts in the 70's, which were aimed at increasing British cheese consumption, namely cheddar. However, I am certain that the concept existed long before then. It's a 'picky' lunch/tea of great British foodstuffs after all!
The phrase ‘Ploughman’s Lunch’ was first promoted by the Milk Marketing Board in the 1960s as part of a campaign to promote the sales of cheese, especially in pubs123. However, the concept of the combination of ingredients is much older. The meal in its modern context was likely created in the 1950s, and its popularity grew in the ’60s, when the Milk Marketing Board featured it in advertising campaigns to boost national cheese sales23. The original ploughman lunch was simply a combination of bread, cheese, and pickle which was washed down with beer, ale or cider
Yum, looked good. I thought ploughmans lunch was bread, cheese, onions, some homemade pickle and a pie made from whatever the farmers wife did with the odd bits of the home reared cow, sheep or pig when it had been cut into joints. Personally we usually have half board hotel buffets which gives me a chance to sample different food while the other half sticks to his British food choice. Will be off to Spain in a few days, first time since 2019 for some sun.
Wow that ploughmans looked good !
Brilliant value too . 😁😁👍👍
Mate you need to stop justifying what and where you eat.It’s your channel and your life.
Damn straight….!👍
EXACTLY
It’s just part of the humour enjoy it’s not serious
Regarding the food Lee..... your 100% right👍
Looks nice that, only issue for me would be I’d want a lot more bread and butter lol!!
I have really enjoyed your holiday videos and blogs
Thank you. ❤️
Pork pies MUST be cold - the jelly is the best part. I am not a 'rabbit food' person but I would def eat that ploughmans. Top Vlog as usual, Lee.
Pork pies are nice warm with mushy peas and mint sauce proper Yorkshire grub
Cold pie
Ive lived in melton mowbray all my life, you are correct noting better than a cold pork pie 🥮
As late as the 1870s, farmworkers in Devon were said to eat "bread and hard cheese at 2d. a pound, with cider very washy and sour" for their midday meal. While this diet was associated with rural poverty, it also gained associations with more idealised images of rural life.
Don't apologise for liking what you like. ❤
Happy Sunday.
*Congratulations. 124K Subscribers.*
You like what you like. And that's alright.
I love a Ploughman's.
Have a lovely evening. x
OMG I love the jelly in a pork pie.
Thank you for visiting good friends of ours at the drunken sailor
Good looking ploughman’s lunch Lee.
How about hiring a little car out and going off the tourist trail?
10/10😊Enough for two
What a gorgeous day.
That looked absolutely splendid 👍👍👍👍
It does look amazing. I saw the other video with the pie ( as you called it lol)..
But yeah looks damn good mate
Oh, best meal yet. I'd demolish that plate full. Love the fresh ingredients, warm and cold, sweet and savoury. Yum.
Your the best Lee and the ploughman's looks amazing
Very healthy and clean 😊
Its not a British resort its a European resort
Another great Video Lee safe travels 🍻🙏🍻
That was a good-looking ploughman's worth the money.
Oh, pork pie should always be warm but that could be because I'm a Yorkshire lad
Thanks Lee keep the great work my freind.
This is an easy 10/10 Lee. That is a proper ploughman's lunch ! xx
The spread you got for the ploughmans looks very impressive - a great variety! A true delight for the tastebuds.
However 2 things... (as ever LOL) ... hot pork pie! and square ham, which we know is processed beyond belief. But the rest of the plate looks a delight. Now to me, the best bit of a pork pie is the jelly... and it has to be with Colemans mustard, ideally made from the powder 'cos it hotter! Ham should be identifiable as a cut of meat... not something made from pink slime. But if you enjoy it, fairy snuff :)
I sympathise with people who want to serve and be served *real* ham, as it is very expensive to source quality cuts, even in Spain and Portugal, who specialise in it! Here in Portugal, for example, it is nearly always square ham that is served up, but undertandable when you see the price of cured natural ham in the shops. A shame and a curse of the modern food industries.
Scoring, I would have gone a 9 for the sheer variety of cheese and fresh fruit on the plate. But not a 10. I wonder what your going to score if you ever get a real 10 ploughmans Lee. LOL.
The venue looks great and you have experienced consistency with good food at good value, so I understand your love for the place. At the end of the day, who could ask more?
Nicely put. ❤️👍🏼
Aww bless Lee. I miss my mum and dad as well.
I once ate a Ploughman's Lunch. He wasn't very happy!
Hi Macmaster just been in for the Ploughman's absolutely mighty. Thanks for the advice.
Hey!!! Love it there!!!!! Have a fantastic time. If you go again, say hi from me. :0)
English Tapas, 😂 Supermarket food on a plate. Nothing homemade
Ignore the haters Lee, your body, money.. its a good job we all have our own opinions!
I like warm pork pie but I’ve ate it cold more than warm over the years I’m of to Benidorm in two weeks watched all you vids from there so will be trying them out staying right by corner bar and simply delicious take care keep vlogin
10 for me love ploughmans lunch anytime
You eat what you want Lee. We all like different foods and no what our tolerances are. 😋
History of ploughman's lunch. A drunk farmer put it together thats why you have fruit mixed with meat and cheese.
Looks really nice and making me hungry now. Great video 👍
now that's my kind of meal! love a good ploughman's, nice pint wash it down
Wow I thought a ploughmans lunch was crusty roll a good hunk of cheese and some pickle Sweet dreams are made of cheese, who am I to diss-a-brie
Very funny, I'm going to use that !!
That is a brilliant short-back-and-sides haircut, sir!
Hola Lee I'll be in the Costa del sol in Nov to celebrate my birthday so I'll definitely visit the drunken sailor it looks like a quality restaurant thanks for a great video☺
It looked ok but the pork pie was a very cheap made one. The meat was mostly rusk/filler.
Apart from that I'd give it a 8/10.
The jelly round the Pork Pie is the best bit!🙂 Really fancy a wander down that place when i'm there in a few weeks.
looks fantastic...will have to try the Drunken Sailor on our next visit to Benalmadena in a few weeks. Absolutely love that area and we're in the process of finding a vacation place there. Happy Travels
That’s my sort of lunch. Love it.👍😋😛
Lived in Thailand for 11yrs. My missus only eats Thai food and maybe a slice of pizza. My daughter loves european food. I have to eat UK food at least three times a week even after 11yrs. Its what you like mate.
Hi Lee. That looked so tasty. You’re looking well! 🥰☀️🥰xxx
That is a nice spread plenty of choice food
Pierce the Ploughman's Crede (c. 1394) mentions the traditional ploughman's meal of bread, cheese, and beer. Bread and cheese formed the basis of the diet of English rural labourers for centuries: skimmed-milk cheese, supplemented with a little lard and butter, was their main source of fats and protein.[4] In the absence of access to expensive seasonings, onions were the "favoured condiment",[5] as well as providing a valuable source of vitamin C.[6]
The reliance on cheese rather than meat protein was especially strong in the south of the country.[7] As late as the 1870s, farmworkers in Devon were said to eat "bread and hard cheese at 2d. a pound, with cider very washy and sour" for their midday meal.[8] While this diet was associated with rural poverty, it also gained associations with more idealised images of rural life.
Is there a tomato shortage in Spain
THE PLOUGHMAN’S lunch is delicious Lee. 10/10❤
Yes I would prefer pork pie cold too score for me 10+ The weather looks Brilliant your so lucky to be there it’s getting cold here now.
Strawberries 🍓 on a ploughmans seems odd but looked nice apart from that 😊
I went there. a few days ago. because of your recommendation and had a chilli. Great food, great service, great price x
Enjoying this series Lee👍 The food looks great in there ploughman's looked good 😊
Ploughman’s was invented by a brewery to boost food sales. Looked really good that did Lee.
Hi Lee, yes, you are correct eat what you want wherever you are. I somehow prefer to eat what the locals eat when abroad, but when in Spain or anywhere in the Med I do like a full English breakfast. As for the Ploughmans lunch, it does not really have a history to it. It was just a commercial way of promoting cheese in the 50s.
The pork pie mus be warmed in order to melt the savoury jelly that moistens and flavours the meat filling !
I never knew this thank you I bet there must tastier warm too
Lee that ploughmans looked delicious but cold pork pie every time ❤X
That ploughman’s lunch was looking good
You no what it's your holiday eat what u like.. I don't eat English breakfast but I do in beni
There you go Lee- Ploughman’s plate is surely an English spin on Tapas ?
You are so right! You do you. Eat what you want. I also miss my mam and dad and my little sisetr every day. h0owever, as someone who lived in Spain for over 3 years, there is some very good food.
Brilliant m8 just keep it coming
I’m on a golf trip at the end of January 2024 so will look to give this place a try with my golf buddies and of course try the ploughman’s! 😊
Looked awesome (glad you tried it (after the steak pie) 👍🎸
That looks the nuts really really appetising
Lee you were spot on with your comments on the Drunken Sailor, we've been twice this week, good food, fantastic atmosphere, recommend a visit anytime. Oh, and they say you're killing them, they've never been as busy since your review. Keep up the good work.
Lol. 😂 tell em I said hi. Love that place. Such a lovely couple.
Glad to see the watch on the other arm now for a while. That was huge I would have had to ask for a doggy bag. I cant imagine what a hot pork pie is like. That egg looked a bit strange huge amount of white & quite a tiny yolk.
As far as I remember the ploughman’s was an invention of the cheese marketing board to increase sales and imagined a ploughman would eat bread and cheese pubs caught on offering it in the days when a packet of nuts and crisps was all they did all the rest is embellishments and later additions
That looks a top notch ploughman’s lunch 10/10 all day long
I live in North Wales, spicy food upsets my stomach so I would be going for British food, I hate pickle and the salad stuff in mayonaise, apart from that it looked a great ploughmans Lunch! |Cold meat pie for me , always!
Think the heats getting to you Lee , that ain’t no ploughman’s , processed ham , fruit ? Looked like a cheap pork pie warmed up , who warms pork pies up 🤢 give it a 5 /10
That ploughman’s looks sensational ❤
The sunshine bar next door was great for a cheap breakfast lee
Lee looks lovely and fresh, but warm pork pie a no no and the ham even though it processed still make it look delicious 👍🏴
Lovely
Another good video..I agree about food when abroad and the only foreign trip I enjoyed the food like in the UK was America..Pork pies only cold for me.
to be fair lee me old mate, that looked really really refreshing and tasty, not sure about the orange & strawberry pieces (think they are trying to hard there when there is no need)
Never seen a ploughman's that good Lee, that's a bargain for €9.50 can't fault it at all, makes me want to get on a plane to try it 😂 plus I would give it a 10+
Lee that looks like the best ploughman's of all time 😊
Oh Lee, smashed it mate!
I’m watching this at 9.45pm and now I want a ploughman’s!!😩
Looks damn fine.
No matter where you are in the world you should eat what you are comfortable with!
Top job as usual!👍👏👏👏😊❤️
Lee ploughmans lunch looks good hope you enjoyed it
nice ploughmans 7.5 for me
mick and janice will be fuming
What a lovely looking plate of food. No more to be said.
Ploughman's can be dated as far back as 1390, cheese bread and beer, and has been developed since then, English, but there will undoubtedly continental variants
Pork pie should be cold
Lee you are a great man
Thank you ❤️
You get to a certain age and you know what you like and dislike, the main thing is that you enjoy it. Weather looks fab 😊
That looked marvellous
Dont let trolls and keyboard warriors in the comments eat what you want Lee its your damn channel!!
Well said Lee ❤
