I think this is great and wouldn't care if a few other dishes crept in like Dorset Knobs for comedy value, Manchester Tart for (WTF is that value), Spotted Dick (Fnarr!), Sylabub, Tea Cakes, Rag Pudding, Eccles Cakes, Pease Pudding.....

Derby Tup Jun 2020 12:37pm, 19 Jun 2020 43,393 posts	0 Derby Tup Ploughman’s lunch? A bit of sweaty cheese, part of a raw apple and some crappy salad plus if you’re ‘lucky’ some poxy bake your own bread. Don’t even get me started on pickles. Who’d eat that, never mind vote for it?
