This was a quick and easy recipe to make, and it was delicious! I used a whole wheat bread and a mild cheddar cheese, and it was the perfect combination. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of ploughman's lunch, but this recipe was actually really good! The bread was crusty and the cheese was flavorful. I especially liked the addition of the pickled onions, which added a nice tang to the dish.

I made this ploughman's lunch for a picnic and it was a hit! Everyone loved the variety of flavors and textures. The bread was perfect for sopping up all the juices from the cheese and pickles. I will definitely be making this again.
